August 11th, 2010 · No Comments · Motorcycle Racing

Welcome back!
I know for manythe adrenaline fuelled madness that is Mad Sunday is a must whilst visiting the Isle of Man TT but not for us.
The island has started to recognise this fact and therefore we headed off to Peel on the west of the island for the Peel TT Day.

Day 3 – this is our first full day on the Island and we decide to have a bike free day and take the bus into Douglas, that way we can have a beer or three.

Tales From An Isle of Man Virgin Part 2

July 16th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Motorcycle Racing

We’re off!
Up at 4am but adrenaline is soon kicking in and we meet up with our riding and holiday companions at 5.30 for the trawl up the M6 to Heysham. But even that cannot dampen our spirits – I’m finally going to my first TT and I cannot believe it!
After a quick bit of [...]

Tales from an Isle of Man TT Virgin Part 1

July 9th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Motorcycle Racing

I’ll start by making a bold statement but one you will find to be true if you take my advice:

Go To The TT Races It’s Awesome
Now you could say I was sick of hearing about how good the TT Races are from She Who Must Be Obeyed (SWMBO), but that would not be true, [...]

Isle of Man TT Races 2010

June 23rd, 2010 · No Comments · Motorcycle Racing

Regular readers will have noticed a certain absence of anything on the website as well as any weekly newsletters for a couple of weeks.
There’s a good reason for this – we went to the Isle of Man TT Races

I have to say the TT was fantastic! It’s 16 years since I went and it [...]

World Cup? Or Three Brits on Both Podiums in WSB? – No Contest

April 26th, 2010 · 3 Comments · Joolz says...., Motorcycle Racing

As we plough headlong into another dreary round of the World Cup – is it really four years since the last one? – epitomised by Terry Venables (who apparently has something to do with football) murdering a song on prime time TV, I ask have the team really got a better chance of bringing glory [...]

The Curse Of The Eurosport Director

April 23rd, 2010 · 1 Comment · Motorcycle Racing

Why are Beckham and Rooney on TV but not World Superbikes?

April 1st, 2010 · No Comments · Motorcycle Racing

World Superbikes Philip Island – The Crashes

March 11th, 2010 · No Comments · Motorcycle Racing

My Dad, strangely, thinks it hasn’t been a good race if there haven’t been any crashes, somewhat missing the point. But then will happily sit in front of the TV for hours on end during the off season watching all the re-runs – nowt as strange as folk.
At the recent Philip Island WSB round there [...]

World Superbikes – Who Will You Choose?

February 25th, 2010 · No Comments · Motorcycle Racing

The wait is over, the long winter months draw to a close (sort of) and at long last the motorcycle racing calendar revs up this weekend with the first World Superbikes races from Philip Island-hoorah!
It seems like, and in fact it is, months since the last race in 2009, and in between we have heard [...]
