Oulton report, at last…
Sorry for being a bit slack on the blog front, it’s just since getting back from Oulton I’ve been a busy bee. Oulton went ok by the way . Yes, another DNF, but I took a gamble on the tyre front and went for full dry rubber when there was just a bit of drizzle. I thought ‘nowt to worry about …
Bring back hanging
Well as my motto goes, first things first. At Oulton some light fingered little ****** nicked my ******* push bike. I don’t own much in this life: a toolbox, a 1972 saab and four pushbikes. So when some **** goes and nicks something that I’ve worked ******* hard for it makes my blood boil. So I got stuck in, told the coppers, told the security and went on the …

Scarborough Report (and a new (old) stationary engine)
Allreet folks? What’s the latest out your way? A bit to report around here. Just in the Isle of Man at the mo, doing the TT press launch. Not really my scene, but the TT is where I go and enjoy my summers racing the most, so it’s a small price to pay. Another day off work I know, but we’re not …
Brands thoughts from Guy
Now then, how’s it all going? Not much to comment from Brands really, except we’ve still got a bit of work to do on the 600 front. It’s better than last year’s bike, but it just needs fine tuning, chassis and engine-wise. So we can get a bit more track time with her, I’ll be at at Oulton in …

From Phil Wain, Freelance PR.

Brands, speed of light, New Aston…
Well, I’ve just been out on my bike after work and now I’m finished at the truckyard and ready to head off down to Brands Hatch for a five day stint. I can’t wait to get a rip out down there on my CBR600. It’ll be mint, but five days around a 48second track might send me a bit …

New book and old school race engineering
I was at the Race Retro Show yesterday and was impressed by a thing or two. After my entry on the Ian Brown book, a bloke found me yesterday and gave me a book called Crashed and Burned. It’s an autobiography on a Formula 3 driver who was a bit of nutter and always spoke his mind. So that’s …

Now then, how’s it going? Well, still out in Spain for the thick end of this week. It’s a hard life, eh? Well after a few days of crap weather at Almeria circuit, we ended up getting a decent day on our last day. Nowt special, still a bit windy but loads better than it has been. I ended …
News from Spain
If I told you we’re off to Spain for a bit of testing, you’d be like me, getting your shorts out and the tea bags at the ready. Well it’s a good job I packed the tea bags, because you couldn’t make the weather up. On the first day, Wednesday, I did a good 60-odd laps trying to get …
Two new bikes
Morning all, how’s it going? Sorry I’ve been a bit slack on the blog front, I’ve been beavering away at work and getting a few miles in on the old push bike. I was up at Dolby Forest last Sunday morn. I even managed to drag the farmer’s daughter out of her bed at half five in the …
