Here's another session with me and Lou on the Honda 750s during the Classic Bike Track Day event at Cadwell Park in September.

Here's me and Lou running round Cadwell on a glorious saturday afternoon on a couple of VFR Hondas. His change of line under braking into Park has to be seen to be believed ! There are some very dodgy lines by a few riders but all good.

Out on my RC30 on a lovely summer's day with Classic Bike Track Days. First time at Oulton Park! Despite me watching UA-cam videos, you'll see many, many different lines, braking points, gear choices, and apexes, so choose which one you like. Strangely enough my second, third and fourth sessions were all slower !

CBTD event at Donington before the big race weekend. Out on my RC30 in the Upper Intermediate group. Very few people out on track and good standard of riders out there. Lovely, lovely.

How to change the air filter on an A6. We used a Bosch air filter (about £15) and all you need is a philips screwdriver to loosen a jubilee clip, and small flat bladed screwdriver to operate the snap clips. This is an A6 C7 from 2018 but is a common platform for many VW, Audi, Skoda, Seat vehicles.

Here's a lap round Donington Park from me on my RC30 with a nice pass by Carl into Coppice. You can see I'm too slow coming out of the corners (need a lower gear and more revs). CRMC GP parade July 2024

Driving south on the M74 at a steady 70MPH I see a truck stopped on the other carriageway with a tyre missing. The tyre had bounced over the central reservation and was right in the middle of the fast lane. A muppet in a Honda in the outside lane didn't see it (didn't swerve or even brake) and ploughed into it at about 90mph. As I said, muppet.

I'm 62, on a 40 year old Honda CB1100RD and Rory Skinner (22) passes me on a Pulse GP bike that's the same age. I thought I'd try to follow him.... Scraping the fairing, exhaust, kneepads and footpegs round the old hairpin at 90 mph, I decided to let him go. :-)

The CB1100R Owners club were lucky enough to be given a session round Donington with the Past Masters. Jamie Whitham, Ian Simpson, Alex George etc. This video is a little fuzzy as my windscreen was not clean, but you can get the gist of it. See Rory Skinner pass me at 15:05 and watch me vainly try to keep up with him...... Apologies to Adrian Cummings who is riding bike number 9 and who I have ...

The timing on my 1953 125cc MV Agusta race bike was out, so this is how I reset it to 53 degrees BTDC. Turn the sound up at the end ......
