hi,hope alls well.
haven't posted for while.
so far we are pretty much half way through the season.I'm competing in the 2stroke championship and the British maxxis series,plus doing other meetings when they don't clash with these too(masters,mmx)
while i write this i have a meeting this weekend at Whitby in york.that will be the 5 round of the 2stroke championship!so far I'm leading this.so hoping for a good weekend!
the maxxis series has not gone to plan at all so far!every time i go to the races I'm not relaxed and comfortable on the bike,I'm pumping up pretty quick so its effecting my riding,its all down to nerves,hopefully i will over come them in this championship!
i let you know how i have done after the weekend.

whitby round 5 2stroke championship

hey guys,
just a bit of an update for you,
OK,my last round,was a bit of a yo yo for me,
i felt i was riding mega,but the luck wasn't on my side!
went out in qualifying, i felt mega!real good on the bike,managed to get 1st.
1st moto,
peg snapped in 1st lap,so had to struggle through the moto on my right peg!the hardest and longest moto Ive ever raced in!still managed to finish 6th in my group.
but over the bike jumps and whoops of Whitby circuit my ankle was feeling the pain,so i sprained it pretty bad!
2nd and 3rd moto managed to finish 4th in my group,i felt i was riding well against some G.P regulars but the pain was a little to much to rub to much plastics!
i m lying 4th in the championship,still in the runnings for a good podium finish at the end of the year!
have fun ,keep smiling!!!!!

round 4 pontrilas

2008-06-19T13:10:00.000-07:00

hey guys,

had the 4th round of the 2 stroke championship last weekend!

i managed to finish 5th overall,which to be honest im not over the moon about!

it was a fustrating weekend for me as im struggling to get rid of a bug(well i think it is) as well as having bad starts!

man, my starts suck at the moment!ive really got to sort that out!its me and only me, the bike is fantastic,i just need to concentrate more and watch that pin more closely.

my racing however was very good.i felt this weekend was the quickest i have been riding all year,but with the track being very fast and one liney,having bad starts made my motos extremely tough to pull through ,the last moto i managed to get back to 3rd,so i just wish i got good starts throughout the day so i could of mixed it up with the top 2.

lets bring on the 5th round at whitby,for me it cant come any sooner!

landrake 2nd round 3RD overall

2008-05-05T12:50:00.000-07:00

hey guys,just an update,

2ND round of 2stroke championship.........

it was held at landrake motoparc in Devon,the day started of damp and foggy but slowly cleared for a great days racing.

qualified 2ND,therefore i had a good pick for the gate so i was pretty happy with that.

1st moto went OK.come from an top 10 start up to 3rd.the 1st half of the moto i felt really comfortable then i started to pump up and make silly mistakes,

2ND moto had a mega start was in 3rd going for 2ND before the whoops,i took the inside and spun out the slippery surface,got going mid pack and worked my way up to 5Th.

the final moto of the day was going to be tough.the track had dry ed up to not far from blue grove,it was very difficult to know when to put the gas down,without u spinning out.

i had a good start was in 3rd most of the race,fell back to 4Th then on last lap got back into 3rd to give me 3rd overall on the day.

so all in all the day went well. i hoping for better in the 2rd round at leisure lakes.

ill keep u informed of what goes on!

stay safe,keep smiling!!!

guys, OK its the 29Th DEC freezing cold,wet weather and I'm out in the middle of a muddy field somewhere in Essex on the new 125 TM having the best time of my life!:)
its Sat evening now,just finished washing everything,putting bike all back together for another day of FUN tomorrow!please stay dry!as for today well were shall i start!
just got my new bike!looks mega!the only 125cc 2008 in the UK at the moment,so that's pretty sweet!
thought id give it a little warm up around Essex today! little warm up how wrong was I!
pretty crazy day from moment go!was up at 5am from Brighton as i have an apartment there!
left there to drive to Heathrow,pick the bike up and left for the track!
as i pulled in most of the trucks where getting PULLED IN!!!!! ha that's right,towed in the pits not out!i knew it was going to be a pretty tough going day but never once thought of turning bACK!
it was sooooooooooooo cold today,if i haven't mentioned it already!ha
i had about 6/7 25 min motos! but today wasn't all flat out!pretty chilled(excuse the pun)
just run the bike in and got used to it really!just bled it in,going through the gears.feeling that they all select nicely!adjusting a few things to my spec!stood up most of the time,just enjoying the bike as its been 3/4 months due to recovering!
but the track!wow!
its was the roughest track Ive ever rode today!we had heavy rain Friday night so that spoilt it really!the guys down there done their best to get it ridable by grading it,but man,it was hard work out there!glad i was running in today,as if i was attacking in sure i would of come a cropper,
but was awesome in the end just to get my leg over my new baby!
OK,I'm off to have a good sleep ready for another go tomorrow!
over and out!
