Up to date
with my current desk calendar mainly featuring photos from my first season in the Ducati 848 challenge plus a couple of shots of my debut year on a TZ - not forgetting the obligatory photo of 'Frank' at work.

Harley days...
campaigning the XR1200 in 2010 meant it featured heavily in the '11 desk calendar together with some great shots of Mark Hanna's moto 450.
Monday, November 19, 2012
Looking back at my 2010 calendar
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.

Fun packed season
in 2008, from racing 'new' classic Molnar Manx Nortons to Peter Day's truly iconic FZR400 and the 'Smith Sisters' unique GP1 Lung machine - all came together to make a great 2009 calendar.
Friday, November 16, 2012
'Gordon' was born
and made his debut in the 2008 calendar; together with the Mali Jawa from the Euro Supermono series in 2007 and 'Bill' the R1200s features as I'd just started coaching on him that year.
Thursday, November 15, 2012
My 2007 desk calendar
was comprised mostly from the 2006 European Supermono championship of me riding the Neatafan mini mono.
Wednesday, November 14, 2012
2006 was a stunner
a varied 2005 season offered lots of great photos for the calendar. From Euro events in GSXR Cup and Supermono to racing the 'other' Mike Edwards Raptor in Minitwins. Oh yes, and that was the year I smashed one of Garry McCoy's Petronas bikes to pieces.
Tuesday, November 13, 2012
2005 calendar
this rarity features me riding three different World Endurance bikes from the '04 season: YART, 666 and Klein - plus the mini mono makes it's first calendar appearance.

Got one of these?
My 2004 desk calendar celebrated having completed 21 years in racing. This vintage item was illustrated with photos of some of my favourite bikes.
Friday, November 9, 2012
Original Calendar
this was the first one we did back in 2002 with all the photos being of me racing endurance with Phase One by Andrew Holyoake. Anyone out there still got one of these?

I've had worse
weather this year and considering it's nearly November me and my coaching client are not having such a bad outing at Cadwell today.

Daytona boots!
Daytona Boots - great factory repair facility
I personally wouldn't wear anything else - but I do give them quite a hard time, with me riding many thousands of 'on track' miles each season when coaching and racing.In fact, on a coaching day I put my Daytonas on about 8am and they're then on for the rest of the day until 5:30pm!
I recently sent a pair back to the factory for repairs rather than ask
for a new pair of 'outers' - when they returned, I couldn't believe what
a fantastic job Helmut had done with all the repairs.

A bit 'iffy'
when we arrived at Donington in the dark this morning. But the wind's dried the majority of the track and the sun is out so it might turn out nice for today's coaching client.
Tuesday, October 9, 2012
Glorious weather
at Oulton Park today for my '1 2 1' coaching client. Must be Jim Stock sorting out the sunshine for everyone on the parade laps in his honour at lunchtime.

all hands to the pumps
Got to take our stuff off the hire bike now and return it before we can even start to think about packing up.
did my best.
The boys tried their best having put our stuff on a hired bike; but with no warm up session it really was wing and a prayer stuff. It didn't fit me and settings felt awful but I stayed out and managed to get 5th.
Magic is woven!
Big up to the boys, by time I returned from Eric's wedding this morning there was a bike ready for me to take to the grid. Should be on Eurosport 2 about 3pm.
Saturday, September 29, 2012
All over.
Leading James behind Robbie in the race and unfortunately the bike seized. Have jumped in the car to head back up North to join in celebrations for the wedding of 'little blu' and Janine.
Friday, September 28, 2012
Late practice 5.10pm
Now that's done we have to crack on and get the wheels to the tyre men as we're out first thing at 9am for qualifying. Warmers on at 8am means we have to the tyres done tonight.

Track ride
Here we are at Silverstone. Off for an informative run round the track. I hope everyone will be able to keep up with me on my 'mean steed of speed'...

Going to be a scorcher...
... for today's coaching client here at Le Mans. The sun is already out and at full force so drinking plenty of water could be the order of the day.
Tuesday, September 18, 2012
I had forgotten...
... how much I dislike Le Mans. However it makes a change for "Frank" he's never been here before; but my coaching client today was here last year so he already knows his way round.
Sunday, September 16, 2012
Nothing today.
Discovered that the frame's broken so we won't be racing today. Had a fab time though all things considered.
Saturday, September 15, 2012
Not too good.
Good start and was in the top ten but had to pull in at the end of the first lap as the HT lead had pulled out of the Mag. Back out for a few laps and the gear linkage fell apart. Poor Howie, he never got chance to ride. He'll be starting tomorrow so might get some laps in.
Friday, September 14, 2012
Oh dear.
Rocker box cover came off. Not exactly sure when - to start with couldn't work out whether my feet were slipping of pegs with vibration or the copious amounts of oil. Just managed two flying laps. Howie's not been here before either so has got special dispensation to get out later for three laps.

More points in the bag!
Happy to come 3rd again. Lee and Robbie, in front doing their own thing, probably busy chatting about racing Panigales and I simply followed them home.
Saturday, September 8, 2012
That'll do!
Very happy with 3rd. Lee won but gets no championship points. Robbie got 2nd and concluded his 2012 overall championship win.
Time for brekky.
First out this morning for 9am qualifying. Robbie is on Pole and Lee Johnston on the VIP bike and is between him and me. We're all on 35s and next up is Dijon on a 36.

Free practice Donington
I got permission to run with cameras for this evenings practice session as some of my video watchers have commented on how they've missed my onboard footage. So we've just recorded the whole 20 minute session for you all!
Monday, September 3, 2012
Grand day.
This beautiful morning weather at Cadwell probably means me and my coaching client are going to have a decent day.
Thursday, August 30, 2012
Sunshine and showers
Wet and dry - is making it a bit of a grim coaching day for my client. He doesn't have spare wheels so we are having to tread very carefully - so to speak.
Wednesday, August 29, 2012
Something different.
Having a run out on one of Chris Wilson's bikes today. Been invited to ride it at Goodwood.
Saturday, August 25, 2012
Rain stayed away...
So far today it has been overly warm but no rain. Practice was alright third behind Robbie and Marty Mutt; done a bit of twiddling for qualifying tomorrow. Coaching word seems to be getting round, three folk have called for tips today.
Sunday, August 12, 2012
Job done.
Won the Tom Wheatcroft trophy for Stu to take back home. Got down to a 1.15.246 in the process. Mike Cooper 2nd.
