Badly injured while riding on Mad Sunday
18 Dec 2013
I was seriously injured on the TT course two years ago. I am not a racer, but on Mad Sunday I was riding at a speed I thought was fair enough. I have done a few trackdays and I was riding a high-performance sportsbike when some lunatic, approaching a tightish bend, shot past me as […]
Mallory – last race
23 Oct 2011
I won the last Streetfighter race by 20 seconds, enjoying riding hard for the hell of it. Between us we took the decision not to go out for the last GP1 race. My rear tyre is finished so I’d be off the pace and at risk of getting lapped by the leaders who will be […]
Streetfighters and GP1 races
I won the Streetfighters race comfortably and then fitted a new soft tyre for GP1 which got me 12th and this lap time.
Oulton race two
08 Oct 2011
I was 5th in class and 9th overall and I’m really happy. Conditions were drying all afternoon and it was a tough choice between wet or dry tyres. I went with wets, along with the majority of the grid, but nearly all the track was dry. Luckily, the few wet patches evened things out. I […]
Oulton race one
What a race! I was 6th superstock and 12th overall from 21st on the grid, and I beat Chris Barnes too! I made lots of changes to the set-up before morning warm-up and the bike was loads better, with the stability needed to use all the power. In the race I got a decent start […]
Brands race 3
18 Sep 2011
I was 9th, with a destroyed rear tyre costing me the drive I needed to get onto the two bikes that were just ahead. It was another really fun race though. In case you’re wondering, had I been in the Streetfighter class I’d have won every race comfortably. Even so, I’m really pleased that I […]
Brands Hatch qualifying
17 Sep 2011
A huge downpour an hour before qualifying really shook things up and, seemingly, played into my hands. On the 750 Streetfighter I qualified 7th on the GP1 grid, which is fantastic. The conditions minimised the power disadvantage so I felt my way around, kept building the pace and stayed smooth. My best lap of 55.6s […]

Snetterton race 3
17 Jul 2011
With a huge thunderstorm looming, we were racing the weather as much as each other. Ten minutes after we finished it rained so hard that the paddock flooded instantly and everyone ran for cover. The race was hard but fun. I gave it everything and went a bit quicker but was 6th in class this […]
Snetterton race 2
Despite having the Best First Lap Of All Time, I finished 5th in class and 9th overall. That’s ok, especially as it would take a hell of a lot to get near the top four Superstock bikes, but I’m a bit disappointed in my best lap time. At the start I got away cleanly and […]
Snetterton race 1
16 Jul 2011
Rain stops play! Heavy rain showers caused delays throughout today and when the GP1 race finally started it was straight into a rain storm of biblical proportions. After two laps the track was so flooded that the race had to be stopped until the rain subsided and the standing water could be brushed clear. At […]
Snetterton qualifying
Through the wettest conditions I’ve ever ridden in, I qualified 8th overall to get on the second row. I’m 4th in Superstock. That’s as high as I’ve been all year and much better than I’ve been in the wet previously, so I’m really pleased. It’s still raining hard so the race will be wet too. […]

Glyn takes hundreds of shots each weekend at as many club events as he can get to and then […]
Donington race 2
10 Apr 2011
What a race! I was fourth in Superstock and 13th overall, which I’m really pleased with. Maybe you’re used to me winning after last year but the level in GP1 is sky high. I rode as well and as hard as I’ve ever done so I’m really satisfied. There were good scraps early on and […]
Donington race 3
Wow 2. Another awesome race. No idea where I finished yet but I think I was fourth in class again after some great scraps. I rode really hard and loved every second of it. I’m packing up now so I’ll write again later. Thanks for reading. Jamie

Rd1 reflection
14 Mar 2011
During the three-hour drive home, while listening to some favourite music, I had something of an epiphany. I realised that I’d really enjoyed the last race, battling hard for postition, wrestling the bike, and that it only lost its sheen when I saw on the sheet that I hadn’t lapped any faster. But the important […]
Rd1 race 3
13 Mar 2011
I finished the race tenth overall again and sixth in class this time. I rode really hard and made some aggressive passes though I was a little disappointed not to have lapped faster despite being on well worn tyres. Special congratulations to Alex Heaton for making the podium on his Knight RR Ducati, setting some […]
