... Met up with Shakey Byrne who was hobbling after an op to repair damage to his leg. Says he hopes to be running at the front on the Panigale next year as they have factory backing and been working on the deal for sometime. Saw the new Monster 1200R which looks and feels lovely. :) 2015-11-21 12.21.50.jpg

... (IAMs) but first... my preparation! For those thinking of doing IAMs... don't do what I've done!!! I've been training with TVAM-RAMs for about a year, I applied to do my test in May after passing my cross check then was hit by a drink driver. I moved to Shropshire in the summer, and started a ...

Thanks guys.. I could look at doing a race next year but I'm hoping to fast enough to attract sponsors to pay for my to build my bike into a race bike. That would mean getting a 1.37 at Donington IMO on a street bike. If I can get that then there's ...

... for a while ,I gave her a good clean and lube at the weekend then put her away on the optimiser Ive been thinking about buying the new model next year but decided to keep mine for at least another summer ,its more bike than I can ever handle anyhow.

Trying to book holiday is a nightmare for me at work and next year will be worse as someone in the team has been given 5 extra days as a reward for doing 10 years here.

But a group day is a laugh, especially if you can hang out afterwards and have a few beers.

... a 1.37, that's my target with the bike in the condition (age/miles/upgrades) it's in. I've gotten a 1.41 and I want to get at least a 1.39 next year. I can definitely improve without tuition but I'm wanting to see just how fast I can go. Currently I could make top half of the grid in Thundersport ...

... to pay for a racer I know to attend a trackday with me and give me personal tuition throughout the day. He won the top class in Thundersport this year. He's already helped me by watching my videos and giving words of advice, mostly down to my lines and gearing which is refreshing as nothing stood ...

I did the chrono there last year with Perkles. I think I was around the 1'52 mark. I'm ok from Hollywood to McLeans. I hate the GP loop. I'm nervous at Redgate as I've crashed there.

Donnington or Mallory for me I hope to get a fair few in next year

... with my 4 or 5 buddies and try get them along too. Oulton, Donington, Snetterton and possibly Silverstone are on the list of tracks for me next year. I think my mates want to do their first one at Pembrey (my mate who crashed and broke his leg on his first trackday there wants to face his demons ...

Cav, I've been chatting with No Limits on twitter. I'll post up their dates once they release them.

Hopefully we'll get a date sorted next year and a few of us will attend, rather than having D6Nutz on his own on a rain swept Mallory track.

Don't think it will pass Euro 4.

That's why Honda have said the RCV roadbike wont be sold beyond the end of next year.

Cheers mate, that's exactly what I'm looking for. And a couple of trackdays where I stay upright!!

A few more stats for you... This year (to date): 300 murders have been committed in the UK I can find no mention of deaths related to terrorism this year in the UK Also, Boko Haram have conducted FAR more terrorism attacks this year than ...

Apparently Bautista says its virtually the same bike he racing this year. That will be expensive but what a machine...
