Kawasaki Riders Club – Silverstone WSB
Moby | Blogs | 02/08/2011 13:27pmThe FIM World Supers are always a key date for my diary, but having seen the package that my Kawasaki Riders Club membership was offering for Silverstone last weekend, joining the Kawasaki brethren for the day was a must.
Laguna Seca Roundup
Moby | Blogs | 25/07/2011 14:05pmAfter the excitement and thrills of last week’s German GP, it was back to normality at Laguna Seca with a comparatively event-free race.
Racey Weekend
Moby | Blogs | 19/07/2011 15:47pmWhile the Fast Bikes team were busy in North Wales at the No Budget Cup, the Sky+ boxes were set to record the weekend’s hectic racing schedule. The British Superbike circus rolled up to Oulton Park and had a visit from Noah, while MotoGP spectators in Germany got treated to some of the best (and closest) racing for a while – in all classes.
Quick – Ban Everyone…
Moby | Blogs | 05/07/2011 12:54pmQuick, ban John Hopkins. Did you see that move Hopper put on Shane Byrne? Oh wait a minute, we’re fortunate enough to live in England, home of the Bulldog, bravado and common sense it seems.
Isle of Man TT – Partridge Style
Moby | Blogs | 09/06/2011 13:10pmAlan Partridge would love this. Maybe more so if it was a Lexus, but he did also seem to have an unhealthy love for Rovers, too!
Charlie’s Racing – Round 2
Moby | Blogs | 18/05/2011 18:10pmHaving had such a fault ridden start to my racing ‘career’ getting a DNS (Did Not Start) in the first round it was not without some trepidation that I returned to Chavenage Farm in Tetbury for the second round of the Midwest Enduros.
By Land & Sea
Moby | Blogs | 16/05/2011 14:17pmLast year I had a dilemma. I needed to get to a town on the north-west coast of France for one of my bessie’s Stag Do, so set about doing the usual – checking for flights.
Honda NC30 Out Of Hibernation
Moby | Blogs | 04/05/2011 11:43amIt’s been ages since I last wrote an update on the NC30 and while I’ve got loads of excuses, my favourite is that the snow ruined everything at the end of last year and so I left the bike in the garage and didn’t do anything with it for a few months.
Aprilia Tuono V4 Launch
Moby | Blogs, Wallpapers | 11/04/2011 23:48pmI’ve just enjoyed a fantastic first ride on road and track aboard Aprilia’s new Tuono V4. Read all about it in the next issue, and in the meantime, here’s a few wallpapers to enjoy…
Swapping Two Wheels For Four
Moby | Blogs | 29/03/2011 08:14amTo launch the new Pilot Road3 tyre, Michelin invited us to join them at the Palmer Sport driving experience facility, located on Bedford Autodrome. This was basically just a fun way to get the UK’s motorcycle press together for the International virtual press conference. During this time my CBR1000R longtermer was shod with the new rubber, and we were given a tour of the very impressive workshop, housing anything Renault Clio Cup cars to fully blown Formula Two race cars.
Michelin Pilot Road 3
Moby | Blogs | 28/03/2011 12:54pmThese are Michelin’s new sport touring tyres – the Pilot Road 3’s. Even though they won’t dislodge the Road 2 tyre from the range, Michelin say they surpass the two year-old predecessor in performance.
Off-Road Training – Wheeldon Craving
Moby | Blogs | 22/03/2011 12:15pmI have been an out and out misery since I acquired a DNS in the first round of the Midwest Enduro. The most disappointing thing was not getting the satisfaction of a good blat off-road. However all the planets aligned last Thursday with the Mrs at work on Saturday, an amazing weather forecast, and a small gathering of mates attending and an extremely rare spare slot for a day at Wheeldon Farm, in Devon.
Born Slippy – Manhole Mayhem
Moby | Blogs | 17/03/2011 14:25pmThe guys from ‘Get A Grip’ have just shown me a new anti-slip manhole cover (regardless of whether it’s wet or dry). They want all authorities to replace worn iron manhole covers with the new anti-slip ones – we should all be supporting this.
Midwest Racing Enduro – Round One
Moby | Blogs | 14/03/2011 10:14amThere is no point trying to hold any of you in any anticipation whatsoever, to build up to the grand result of my first ever endure race. As I have stated before what I really desperately wanted to achieve was avoiding the DNF (Did Not Finish), this I did handsomely by one letter – my debut race classification being a DNS (Did not Start).
Charlie’s Enduro Debut
Moby | Blogs | 10/03/2011 16:41pmWith race day approaching I had a few things to do to get the RMX250S truly ready. Cosmetically I removed all of the indicators, the numberplate hanger, and decided to treat myself to a set of Renthal Bars. Once in place I then fitted, glued and lock wired in a set of Renthal grips and knowing the Midwest enduros like a few technical wooded sections, a set of all important brush guards.
