A Happy New Year to everyone, and time to catch up...

So, the first run at Santa pod wasn't a disaster, although it was cold, it was very busy, with a fairly long wait for the bikes to be let out, met up with some old faces and made a few new ones to look out for in 2020.

I only did one pass, which was enough to show the bike was strong, and just needs a little tlc to get it back on song.

Once home, its been semi stripped, the bodywork is off being painted, the carbs have been off and cleaned, the wheels and swingarm is next to come off for a colour change, ready for February....

Its all going well...

Towbar fitted, trailer collected, started to work on the Firestorm, the Zed is ready to go to its new home,
first race weekend is on the calendar, so just need some luck with the weather! lets hope October is kind to us...

Ready to fit out the trailer..

meet the latest edition..

VTR Firestorm DragBike.

2020 will see me competing in the RWYB Challenge,

the bike has been done really well, and is ready to go, just needs the rider to be up with it! 

Hope to get a few runs before the end of the season, so watch this space!

Quick update on the Zed....

Been a bit busy with work, but have managed to get the spanners out on the bike,

A job that had been hanging around for a while was the rear shock, I brought a ZXR unit, stripped it, and had the spring powdercoated, checked the bearings, gave it a good clean, and with the help of the abba stand, had it fitted in a very short time, straight in, no mods needed, and looks rather good, shame its hidden away.

Rear swingarm will be coming out at some point, as its paint is shocking, but, hope to get out and enjoy some dry days, and putting a few miles on it...

Be lucky, catch you all soon. 

Well it seems like I'm back on the blogger....

Whats been going on...Loads, new job, new bike, new toys, new projects... Flat out really. But really enjoyable, the latest bike is a Z750, and yes, I love it, been playing, changing and getting it how I want, and its pretty good...

As I bought it, to as it stands at the moment... 

will update again soon. 

Be lucky!

Ouch...

The Buell is gone....

yep, no more, lost to a fire, gutted, but thats it, time to move on, and see what the next chapter brings....

So, do you stay in a tent when marshalling...?

Well, I did, but soon got fed up with tents, and air mattresses, A camper was needed, and a camper is what I have...

It started out as just a Transit Connect Tourneo, but after a few long evenings, and weekends it was soon converted into this..

The basic lay out sorted, time to start fixing wood and getting the project going.

              All fixed in ready for covering.              

Power sockets fitted.

Carpet going on well.

 3" High Density foam covered in vinyl, some floor tiles, lights and ready.

 To lay out for a well earned sleep in the camper...

It is one its second full season now, and has had an awning added, but apart from that stayed as is, and does a really good job.

So if you see a white connect covered in race stickers doing about 60mph heading towards a track, that could well be me...
