Proper Blog Update!
Reckon this the latest blog ever, sorry about the wait. I reckon there is a bit to cover since the last, brands hatch, ulster grand prix, cadwell park and the usual goings on. Right – first things first, what do you reckon to my new ornament? Ta very much to Simon and Adelle for their fancy wood …
Nearly mended now
Morning folk, as always i’ve been a bit slack on the blog front but i suppose i’ve got a bit of an excuse this time, running out of electric in Kirmington is a common thing but not for this long, sorry.
Guy update : Friday 18th July
Guy is back home. Still battered and very, very bruised but already talking about his comeback. He’ll be back to the blog some, don’t know when but he wanted to say a massive thanks to all the messages, gifts and cards he’s been sent, well over 100 already. He says it’s blown him away – especially the home made …
Jobs to do before you die
I have a big list of em I’m working my way through, and getting locked up isn’t one of them. If it was, it’d ticked off now. There I was on Wednesday, minding my own buisness at work when I got taken to the cells by Mr Policeman. Not a clever thing, I’ll tell you, but I’m out in …
Flanders, Thruxton and the NW200
Morning campers, I said I was going to write something about Thruxton didn’t I? But firstly, thanks to Aiden here are some pics from the Tour of Flanders. Don’t worry, I haven’t sold out and worn Lycra yet, can’t see it myself. That’s event is pain for you though. A mega ride that was.
Plans, Tractors and the Lords of Dogtown
Sorry that I’ve been as slack as ever on the entry front. I’ve got a plan for racing now, seeings as I didn’t get an entry for Portugal I’ve had a good think for a plan of attack.
As sharp as a marble
As sharp as a marble, as thick as mince or as green as I am cabbage looking, that’s me. Not the sharpest tool in the box. But, as we where out biking in the Peaks on Sunday, with the guidence of Sponge, Lindsey and Stella, we came across the house of the bloke who invented the widget. It’s something …
EVO
Guy is in the latest issue of the car magazine, EVO talking about his new motor. Lovely photos.
Tiger Woods and my all-time favourite bike
Now then, Tiger Woods looks to have been filling his boots doesn’t he? What do they say, make hay when the sun shines? Now I know I’m right into my English engineering, but I reckon we are playing at it compared to John Britten in New Zealand. Work of art. so ta to Dean Sever for sending me …
Pre-65 Trials
Now then, cant beat a bit of British weather. I’m not designed for that Australian stuff. The flat cap will be out soon. Pre-65 classic trials, now we’re talking. You can have your TTs, Megavalanch, cheese rolling or whatever, this is where it’s at. Good old George lent me his Triumph Tiger Cub to do the Poachers Classic …
Kim Newcombe, legend…
It’s that time of the year again, the cod liver oil is out. Nowt too much of interest to mention. I hit a deer in the van on the way to work the other morning. I’m not doing much for my relations with our Countryside Alliance friends and the Transit hasn’t taken too kindly to it either. Tight …
7th October update…
Now then, winter is getting here, eh? I was out on my pushbike last night and got soaked, so its offical. They’ll soon be advertising Christmas stuff. Interesting weekend just gone. I worked early early Saturday morning then went to Manchester airport to catch a flight to Belfast, for a Red Torpedo Hein Gericke day. I did a …
Isle of Man End-to-End
I’m we’ll impressed with the comments on the last post. Hopefully I’ll have fire-breathing as well as tight rope walking sussed in the by the end of the week, I’ll keep you informed. It’ll be an education I’m sure. Oh, I’m more impressd that someone knew that I was holding an exhaust manifold of a Rolls Royce Merlin. Someone …
Harvest time and the Manx GP
Now then folks, as usual, a bit slack on the blog front. I’m just sat in a tea shop in the Isle of Man while it’s pissing it down outside. I’m here for the first running of the Post-Classic Manx GP. As I said in the last entry I’ll be riding John Sims’ Suzuki XR69. She’s a proper job, …
The Shining
Why haven’t I seen this film before? The Shining is up there with ’em, isnt it? I’d heard of it but only just managed to see it after being lent it. Now that’s what I call a film. Did you know that Lord March. the owner of Goodwood, used to work for Stanley Kubrick, the director of The Shining. …
Megavalanch & Goodwood
Now then folks, how’s the job looking? I wouldn’t know much about work at the mo’, as I’m on my hols. And I’m ready for it. I flew into Geneva on Monday, then drove to Alpe d’Huez to do a bit of riding. I’m here for the Megavalanch which is the TT of push biking. I had a …
Leopard skin interior
Now then folks, how’s the weather treating you? Don’t complain, it’ll only rain are my words of wisdom for the week. It’s official it’s summer because, my old Saab is in action again, leopard skin interior, the lot. She started up a treat after being stood for nearly a year. Do you reckon she’s a bird-pulling machine? They’d have to …
