Bike Is Back And I Have A Lot Of Work To Do

Well Ladies and Gentlemen I finally have my motorcycle back. Unfortunately it is not anywhere near the complete or finished bike I was expecting. I will not go into the issues on here but suffice to say I now need to embark on a complete rebuild of the bike. Firstly the engine has come out and is on its way to Roger Middleton of RMKD, we have had success with Roger's engines before having won the ThundersportGB GP2 Championship with them back in 2010. Many other items need to be changed or modified so I am taking the bike back to the bare frame and then the rebuild will begin. To give you all a quick idea of what the finished bike will look like I have mocked up the fairing etc in position in the pictures. The fairing is the Suter Moto2 one as supplied to us by Mark at Extreme Performance Solutions. The bike will look good it will just take us a while to get there. Apologies to everyone for not being out on track yet but failed promises have brought me to the point I am at now. If nothing else I have learnt a valuable lesson and one that I shall not be repeating in the future.

Supermono Reunion

Saturday night saw the Supermono Reunion evening take place in Dunstable. The night was organised by Scott Richardson and Rob Whitworth, thanks to these two as the night was enjoyed by all. A few people had brought their bikes along to be featured in the June edition of MCN Sport and the editor Rupert Paul was there taking down the details about the bikes. One of my favourites is the Chrysalis bike built and raced by the Late Dave Morris, a beautiful machine with exquisite details. I had the pleasure of sharing a hotel room with the Smith Sisters and as we had all been drinking Guinness throughout the night it wasn't a nice place to be come the morning!
