Haute Saintonge 23/24/25 July – Part 1 The meetings are coming thick and fast at the moment, with barely enough time to recover. We made it home, from Carole, in the early hours of Monday 12th July, just as it started to rain. We sarcastically congratulated the timing of the downpour, and hurriedly went our separate ways […]

Circuit de Carole  9/10/11 July  Just about down to the wire again!!! To comply with the rules for WERC we’ve swapped the tuned engine for the standard one. The hold up was waiting for some special tools to arrive from the UK, to remove the ignition/magneto and the clutch. So that all done, the only other […]

Sunday 13th June  All up by 9.30 and the morning seemed even hotter than previous days. But there was a slight breeze which was most accommodating and to gain full advantage we removed all the sides of the awning, save one, which kept the tool box in the shade. My first job was a visit […]

Saturday 12th June, our first race day! I’d have loved to have started this with; “The day dawned with heavy skies and the threat of rain,” but that would’ve been a lie. Another glorious day in Spain, perfect if you’re on holiday lounging betwixt bar and pool but not when you’re racing bikes. Still, it’s […]

Friday test day.  After a reasonable night’s sleep, the day dawned bright and sunny, made bearable by an occasional morning breeze. Temperature was already mid to high 20s. Rik was due on circuit at 11.20 so we had a few hours to check over the Triumph and relax a little. First though, we all had to […]

The Journey… We left a little late, due to an administrative problem, so big thanks to Craig for sorting it out. We also have a travelling and racing companion this weekend, a French racer we met in the Isle of Man a few years ago who goes by the name of Lance. Very useful to […]

We managed to sneak a last minute test/track day in today and at times wishes we hadn’t. The weather was wide and varied,  to say the least, making conditions unfavourable for some fast chicanery and were extremely testing, excuse the pun,at times. Time on the bike is invaluable and Rik was awesome. He gave it 100% […]

I was contacted today,  14/05/21, by the organisers of WERC and they are happy for us to use the full power engine for Navarra. It’s a one time deal.  They said because it’s the first meeting and Rik’s first race on a 600 it’ll be ok . I did ask what happens if there’s  a […]

Life certainly doesn’t get any easier, that’s for sure. After a long wait the spare standard engine found its way to the leafy lanes of France, courtesy of Mark, for the French part and Richard Freeman for the UK part of it’s journey, thanks chaps. We must also thank David Wood Performance for doing the […]

There’s always a last minute hiccup and this weekend proved to be no exception. Rik was round helping me load The Truck, the back all loaded and secured with bike, tools, spares etc., I decided to pull forward closer to the house to load up food, bedding and stuff, to save a little leg work.I […]

The long wait during winter is almost over and in a couple of days we’ll be on our way down to Pau Arnos for a weekends’ testing. It’s been a bit of a challenge  negotiating not only Covid and the travel restrictions but Brexit as well. I can report, though,  we’re as ready as we […]
