Well, we are nearly half way through the MotoGP season and, as is usual when the Summer break comes around, the Silly Season is in full swing. It is slightly less frenetic than usual, however, since most riders are part way through … [Read more]
Big John
As most of you know, I started out my motorsports journey as a car racing fan. It began when Australia's Jack Brabham won the F1 World Championship in 1959. I followed car racing slavishly until around 1976, a couple of years after I had bought my … [Read more]
Half a Putty is better than no Putty at all
Well, as you can guess, I haven't been riding much, a quick ride to Kiama and back the other day is about all there has been. I HAVE got the CBX registered for another year which is good and the bits and bobs that Gary did last week means that I can … [Read more]
Hectic
As they say in the classics, Picture For Attention. It's been a chaotic week at our place this week. Was looking forward to something easier after the car dramas last week but it wasn't to be. Monday morning we get a phone call from our son who … [Read more]

Long Weekend
The accepted "wisdom" is that you don't go riding on a Double Demerits weekend but those of you who know me know that that never worries me. Since the number of times that I exceed the speed limit can be counted on the fingers of Captain Hook's hand, … [Read more]
As a matter of a fact, I DO have a screw loose.
Most of you know that I have been suffering from pain in my leg for quite some time. It is the consequence of my motorcycle accident in 2010 and the after-effects of numerous stainless steel implants that were inserted to aid the healing of my … [Read more]
Another great guy
I have a folder on my hard drive that just has scanned images of all the CRRC riders who I was able to photograph back in the day and this one is one of the best. It depicts Murray Ogilvie on the Honda Bol d'Or at the 1979 Castrol Six Hour … [Read more]
