We seem to have the same problem with certain corners wherever we go and I think we’ve made a bit of a breakthrough with the way we need to go. Fourteenth isn’t spectacular but it’s OK for me and I always go better in the race. Everyone’s working really well and if we carry on in the same direction then …
Croft update
Evening all, just sat at Croft. Not a lot happening other than a lot of rain. Reports say the same for tomorrow but better for Sunday. We got a few dry laps in and got a few jobs sorted. It needs to be a bit softer here and you need to get the bike set so it doesn’t wheelie as …
Another mint pic
This is from Lenny who plays in a ska band in the Isle of Man. I’ve seen him play and that boy knows his onions, and has an eye for a decent pic.
Nice pic
Chris the welder took it, not bad for a novice eh? It’s the bottom of the Mountain at Cadwell. Don’t know what day though.
Cadwell and cornfields
Photos: Martin Heath Afternoon. Sorry this blog is a bit late, but we’ve been busy getting through some harvest and mending lorries. It’s been all go, getting some truck work done first thing, then off down the farm to do some corn leeding, trying to get caught up. We’re getting there though. We got 140 acres done yesterday, so we …

From Andy Graves
Quick word from Cadwell
“The weather hasn’t helped the job, I’ve still got loads of harvesting to do and my combine blew up last night! I’m happy on the bike side of things though. We’re at the point where we’re making just a little change each time and we’re getting faster each time so it’s building my confidence up with the team and with …
Cadwell preview
Here we are, Thursday night before Cadwell BSB, this bank holiday weekend. I’m looking forward to what is my home race. A few mates are coming up for a look, I can bring my old Saab for a run out, (I wouldn’t quite trust it Knockhill) and I get to go home at the end of everyday. I’m not much …
Ulster, Big Rich, free tea and pink pedals
Not much I can say about the Ulster GP other than wet ,wet,wet. I’ve never seen as much water in my life. It wasn’t just the track that was drowned, the whole of bloody Belfast was nearly under water. Oh well, it wasn’t a wasted week. Thanks to my website Big Rich and Darren got hold of me to …
Official Hydrex release from Ulster
With the weather once again playing havoc with proceedings at the Ulster Grand Prix, competitors took advantage of a brief break in the torrential rain to get some much needed time on the Dundrod circuit to the west of Belfast. Disappointed at the cancellation of today’s planned Dundrod 150 Road Races because of the continued inclement weather, Hydrex Bike Animal …
Bloody weather
After a bright start to the day, gradually the clouds rolled in and by the time practice was due to get underway at 1.30pm this afternoon, the heavy rain which blighted last year’s event on the Dundrod circuit returned with a vengeance causing organisers to delay proceedings. After nearly two hours, still the heavy rain fall continued leaving them with …
Knockhill update from me
Well well folks, I’m just getting primed up for what is going to be a busy few weeks. I’ve just got back from a rather moist Knockhill, got a day at home getting some barrow jobs sorted, then to the Ulster Grand Prix for a week, then to Cadwell BSB the weekend straight after that. I’m not complaining though. It’s not …
Knockhill – official release
This is the official Bike Animal Hydrex press release. Guy is still driving home and will do his in the next day or so. (Photo: Clive Challinor) “For team mate Guy Martin, again it was a weekend of mixed emotions whereby the 26 year old from Kirmington suffered a mechanical problem in the opening race but in the first part …
Southern 100 report
Photos: Andy Graves Evening folks, just driving down to the Goodwood Festival of Speed in the pouring rain, sat still on the M25. This is just a quick note to let you know that me, James & Kate came away from the Southern 100 happy bunnies. I finally managed to salvage something from my very average season to date. …

A quick word from the Southern
It’s been mint and I’ve really enjoyed the week, it’s been good to get back to basics. I’m delighted with a win and a new lap record but today didn’t go quite to plan. This has turned my season round and I’m feeling so chilled out, in fact I’m going for a beer with six lads who have just turned …

Mallory, tractors, Jenson Button
Photos: Clive Challinor Sorry it’s a bit late folks. The main reason being is it’s my mum and dad’s 30th wedding anniversary, and the’ve buggered off to London for a few days. So me and my brother, Stew, are fairly busy on the trucks and I’ve got a fair bit on, on the barrow job front. Oh well, it keeps me out …
