To attempt to retrieve my battered reputation as a DNF in Thursday's TT.I abandoned with cramp in my calf, receiving much sympathy from the organisers when I returned my number - 'couldn't you have just peddled with the other leg'! The previous week I was pleased with 26'40, beating my arch rival, new member Kieron, by 4 seconds. more…

Chris Dobson was storming around Goodwood in the 'sport' category. He was doing five minutes a lap faster than me! He was streets ahead of the rest when he managed to cut a large hole in the sidewall of his rear tire and that, sadly, was the end of his race. more…

Some years ago I met Laurie on a TT, I asked him for some help on the course (good bits and bad!) he said there are no BAD bits just go for it.....good advice I hope that I keep going as long as Laurie 'what a nice guy!' he will be sadly missed. more…

Re the South Downs park, this is interesting and covers the pros and the cons. And there certainly are cons.

I seem to remember reading somewhere recently that it is not going to be called Het Volk anymore; I think another newspaper has bought the rights. Presumably it'll be Het 'something else'. Imagine that in this country, Het Telegraph or Het Star! more…

Tony Mayer, whatever happened to him? I remember seeing him at Preston Park track in 1980 (ish). He had a style that made going fast look effortless. He retired from the sport far too early. A pity really. more…
