NW200 - 2008, My Roadtrip Diary
17 June 2008
48 hours ago I was at home contemplating cleaning my bike before a track-day. That was before londonbikers.com invited me to work along side the 2008 NW200 Ducati Team in a bid to promote the NW200 week events racing, and to get more people riding to the NothWest 200's 80th Anniversary next year in 2009. Each year the NW200's turn out gets bigger, but they want more families, more after race events, and most of all even more bikers to ride there and experience the high voltage atmosphere and the fabulous road racing.

NW200 – The Ride, Race & Total Experience
05 June 2008
And So It All Began… The alarm on the clock sounded, and the display read 3:30am. It was that time to get up and ride the 287 miles to Holyhead, and all by 8:45am. I knew then that I was going to be on my way to the North West 200 Road-Race in Northern Ireland, man was I excited!! I met Clinton at the petrol station by the Ace Cafe; we filled up the bikes and set off at 4:30am on the long ride towards Wales. The TomTom told us we should arrive at 8:49am, so Clinton and I had to make up some time, the roads were clear, we opened our throttles, and why not!

BSB: Brands Hatch R1 Rescheduled - Weekend Report
17 May 2008
Ok so here’s the thing. Instead of the usual “he led into the first corner, then fell off, this other guy went quicker and won” kinda thing, which can be a little dull and is certainly done better by others, here’s the weekend from our point of view… which is usually through a Canon 1D but we’ll try and spare you the techno babble about photography (Lord don’t get me started on that) and just give you all an idea what goes on.

BSB: Round 3 - Oulton Park Event Roundup
10 May 2008
British Superbikes Round 3 was held at the scenic 2.7 mile Cheshire circuit of Oulton Park last week, under yet another grey, leaden sky. This was despite the rest of the country appearing to be in store for a fine Bank Holiday weekend, which didn’t do much for our spirits as we climbed into our sleeping bags, locked the car doors and hoped for sunshine when we woke on Saturday morning.

BSB: Thruxton, Round 2 - Fast As You Like!
23 April 2008
Round two of the Bennetts British Superbike Championship took place at Thruxton in Hampshire last weekend with more than the usual sense of excitement and urgency than normal because it would be the first meeting of the season to see genuine racing due to the snowed off Brands Hatch round a fortnight ago.

If you have been watching British Superbikes this season, then you would have definitely noticed Rizla Suzuki rookie Cal Crutchlow giving it his all. The 21 year old from Coventry near Birmingham has made a rather large impact this season riding alongside the likes of veteran Chris Walker in one of the most challenging and competitive road-race championships in the world.

Flatout's Day With Virgin Media Optoma Loans Yamaha
25 May 2007
The year was 1976, the month was November and the date was the 9th; the birthday was Flatout's... Thirty years on and a party was thrown to celebrate. The guests arrived at the venue, as did half of londonbikers.com armed with a gift contributed by members past and present. The gift, a VIP day with the Virgin Media Optoma Loans Yamaha BSB race team... So, I booked the day Sunday the 20th at Snetterton and accompanied by my gorgeous fair maiden we made our way to the travel lodge in Cringleford some 16 miles away to avoid a long drive and an early start in the morning.

Bennetts British Superbikes - Round One at Brands Hatch
14 April 2007
The first round of British Superbikes kicked off to a cracking start last Easter weekend at Kent’s Brand Hatch Circuit. The weather forecast was hot and sunny for the Bank Holiday break, but no one could have predicted the heat from the competition that was going to be out on track with Bike Animal Honda’s rookie Leon Camier, and HM Plant Honda’s Jonathan Rea racing hard, the two 20 year olds were really showing the crowds what they are made of. Airwaves Ducati rider and BSB veteran Gregorio Lavilla took the double, but not without a fight and numerous crashes during the races to really mess up the pace.

There's Nothing Virgin About Tommy Hill
11 October 2006
British Superbike Virgin Mobile Yamaha rider Tommy Hill has already accomplished a lot in his 21 years on this planet. He started out competing in motocross at just aged six and survived a near fatal MX crash at 14; nothing seems to stand in head-strong Tommy’s way.

What's All The Hype About Fuel Cell? Rizla Suzuki Educate Us...
21 September 2006
MotoGP technology in BSB, surely not! Well that’s what seems to be going on. We heard about the Fuel Cell bikes that Rizla Suzuki has been using in BSB. There seem to be many benefits to using Fuel Cell, from weight distribution, better handling, confining the components to a more centralised smaller space, holding more fuel to just saving money. Intrigued by the concept behind it, we went to Croft Circuit to meet Rizla Suzuki’s Crew Chief and Technical Development Manager Stewart Johnstone. We just simply had to go and find out more…
