For those of you that are interested in Motorcycles and know a little about me will know that I competed on and was reasonably successful at Racing them for quite a few years and my career only really slowed down when I broke my back luckily ( lower vertebra ) in 2004.. I have had a few races since but time and money always was an issue so eventually gave it up last year after only a handful of meeting culminating in my last win at Brands Hatch.....
Well times have move on and I have been involved with a young lad called Toby Markham who is in opinion the only kid I know that has the drive and determination to make it the top ( "O and bag full of talent!" )
Well it came to pass that after he got a creditable 3rd place at the opening European race at Cartegena in Spain that they needed more testing and they have asked me to accompany them to Snetterton next weekend 10-11th May to race in the British ACU Motostar 250 Grand Prix championship race on one of there spare machines a Yamaha TZ250.
Now to say that I am a bit out of practice and fat would be an
understatement and after trying to get in my old leathers on today I am seriously wondering what I am letting myself in for
However I am sure a good time will be had by all and judging by the full grid we had at the first round at brands as I was spannering for a friend its going to be a cracking meeting......please please do a sun dance I hate getting wet at 165mph down the back straight at Snet
But just to let you know that I will try my best and a warm cup of tea awaits anyone that makes it up to support us and says hello
So think of me when you are having your sunday lunch and I am struggling to hold onto a Factory spec Yamaha kicking out 92BHP at the rear wheel on a bike that weighs only 95kg........................
heeeeeeeeeeelllllllllllllllllllllppppppppppppppppp ppppppp
Wish me luck I think I will need it........and no news is bad news ta ta for now
