Publicity and gaining more sponsorship. I had been invited to display the challenge bike at the Car and Bike show Family Fun Day at Radcliffe Football Club. This show has been going i for a couple of years now and is hosted by Andy’s Man Club. How could I say no? I printed off a…

We are now almost five days since the event. Pictures are coming in from all over the place. Currently I have raised just over £400, a little off my personal target, however as a group we have managed to raise over £100.000. Thank you! Nige has teamed up with 12 volt planet, Atom batteries, All…

This is the day after the night before, a quick photo dump and basic details… We set off at 4am, and after a diversion on the A30, we realised that Ants bike was not performing right (approx. 40mph) top speed, so we were the last bikes on the road by a long way. We pulled…

I had to admit defeat. The Suzuki was running amazing on a remote fuel tank, however as soon as it was through its own fuel tank it would bog down. It turns out that after I cleaned the tank and left it empty, some rust spots started which in turn contaminated any fuel I put…

Someone asked me the other day, ‘what are you doing with your clothes’, and if I am honest, I wasn’t overly sure, I have a bracket and a top box that would fit the bike, but if I am honest, I was not a fan of the look, how ever practical they may be. So…

As the carburettors are at CRC Restoration Services, there is not much to be done. So Dan came over and cleaned the engine for me, whilst I sorted out the drive chain, tightened the back end up and a few other little jobs that I have either not got round to or procrastinated that much…

It ran………..but not for long. Sensing my frustrations, Ant popped over the other night, to try and help diagnose the issues with the bike. The new plugs have arrived and we now have a decant spark, but initially not firing, we then got a slight idle then stopped. After several carefully aimed technical taps to…

Just when things seam to be going in the right direction, something always seams to go wrong. Today started well, I got the Beeline fitted to the handlebar (which actually meant removing the bar due to lack of space), fitting the tracker (that one was relatively easy) and then a oil flush and change. This…
