2013 Calendar update

Donate via my Eshop click here

Thanks to all the generous people who have already donated something towards the calendar costs, but I still have quite along way to go before everything is paid for!

Get geared up before the season starts!

As an alternative to Christmast telly, why not 'gen' up before the seasons starts!
My track specific 'how I ride' DVDs available from the Eshop on my dedicated coaching website at V121PRO - makes the ideal stocking filler for yourself!

And so...

you can see how many different bikes I had raced in the '09 season. Had a couple of runs out in BSB SuperStk on Roy's 1198, raced Mark Hanna's GP450, rode lots of Chris Wilson's classic beauties and still found time to take 'Gordon' on holidat to Assen.
