The bike was smoking, the chain was jumping the sprocket and for the last two laps I had no front brake as the pads were down to nothing but we managed to get to the end.
Crossing the line I had ridden us up to 12th.
The entire race had been wet and it was so slippy I just slowly plugged away at passing people and the bike held together long enough.
2017 is now upon us; all things considered, like most people I'm really feeling 'the pinch' and will have to seriously think about the time I take away from work. As I freely admit, I'm just a truck driver who is quite good on a bike, so to compete in anything this year I will need to secure financial support to help me through the season.
If anyone can make a contribution, no matter how small, it'll be greatly appreciated.

I've enjoyed 35 continuous years in motorcycle racing having ridden something competitively every season since 1982; picking up 6 separate British Championship titles: 1988 British JuniorStock Champion, 1992 British Supersport 400cc Champion, 1995 British Supersport 600cc Champion, 2004 British Supermono Champion - watercooled. British Historic GP Championship 2014 & 2015.
On the roads I've won the Macau Grand Prix on a ROC 500 and the North West 200 Supersport 600cc race. I'm the last Briton to have won the Imola 200.
