cking bike the GSXR1000, i had a K5, absolutely awsome machine, the grin factor was unbelieveable
I keep saying I want rid but everytime I ride it it puts a big smile on my face, even going to work can be a joy
i went out on my K5 one day, before i left, i said to myself, āIām going to keep this thing below three figures todayā
i just about managed to get out of the village i live in before i failed 
After 20+ yrs racing, a lot more working with other racers all round the world, year and a bit in a wheel-chair and 40+ broken bones, why oh why does the gixxer still make me grow horns. I keep saying that I have to get rid of it, I keep rollocking the lads for the way they ride on the road and still it turns me into a bloody nut-case that they canāt keep up with. Laying Darkies out of islands, stoppies at every chance, wheelies and generally making me behave in a way that would get me some serious time in the big house.
Yep, itās got to go! Just one more blast and itās going, well, maybe one more, then another, then anotherā¦ 
yeah hereās my little weekend toy bear in mind im only 15 
When im 16 think im gonna get a aprilia rs 50

What are you racing it in? 
Not me racing it as Iām a tad too old and large for that job anymore.
Should be in BSB.
Iāll be at a few BSB rounds this season iāll keep an eye outā¦
Just wish the weather would hurry up and get betterā¦iām getting withdrawal symptoms from not being able to get my Italian Princess out of the garage!!!
Meet Daisyā¦the other love of my life
Roll on the summerā¦
A day on the Dyno with an RSV4 and a BMW ss. Very interesting and a new chapter in history.
Unless the beema handles like a barge, the superstock title is sorted!

Iāve heard that the only thing hampering the BM is the ham-fisted goon riding it the electronics package is so good at cutting the power for the traction control that it can affect accelerationā¦
I like you hink the Superstock title is in the bag thoā as the bike has moved the goalposts againā¦
I wonāt put money on it just yet as last year a lot of people said the new R1 would run off with the S/Stock title & it got a proper gubbing by Suzukiā¦
Be interesting to see if anyone runs one in the TT this yearā¦
On another note i wish the racing season would hurry up & get hereā¦ 
my fleet of bikesā¦
and this is in our kitchen, my mates bonneville

Mmm, one thing that will hamper the BMWās chance of an easy victory (other than being largely untested in this class) is the fact that their #1 Superstock rider will also be riding one in Superbike and thatās a big ask for a single human being.

PS, Iāll stick some pictures of a proper racing bike on here later, Iām off to a funeral now to pay my last respects to my mates dad who was a racing legend on both short circuits and the IOM TT. RIP Keith Heckles.
ā ā ā ā . Didnāt know about Keith. Pass my respects to Mark and family please Ross.
I never saw this news until now. RIP
Wheel Nut:
I never saw this news until now. RIP
I donāt wish to bore the pants off all none bike race fans but Keith was a real top bloke, in 2006 his son Mark (former World & British Superbike racer) raced my bike in club and national competitions and Keith was never far away. At one such meeting Keith borrowed my 7yr old sons BMX bike, sat on the handlebars facing backwards and of he went backwards in fugures of ā8ā up the pit road, this was at the age of 71!!!
What a bloke, heāll be sadly missed.

I havnāt posted picās on here before so lets hope this works, if it does itāll be a photo of me at Brands Hatch in 2007 taken at āClearwaysā.
The above (if it worked!!) is Mark with his proud dad Keith following Marks breaking of the Aintree 250cc lap record in what is still considered an impossible 56.9 secs, this also proved to be the fastest lap of the day by any bike including some very good riders on āfull onā Superbikes.
