I met a few of you at a Brands Hatch track evening a couple of months ago (I see that Highside has found his way on here and I was on the other black and white race Hornet)
I’ve had a good look around but thought it best to finally register and say hello.
Apart from the 2 Hornets I also own a VFR800VTEC and a 1983 GSX1100 Katana, so the garage is a bit crowded!
I race with New Era MCC in the Hornet Cup (pretty obvious really) and am currently 5th in the SuperClub championship and 2nd in Club.
Also, I downloaded the podcast and listened to while I was flying longhaul to Chicago (where I am now with time to spare to get this done). Congratulations on an excellent Podcast, I’m hooked on that.
Hopefully then I shall be seeing some of you on track or at a nice biking hotspot soon!
I’ve just purchased a new ‘bullet’ camera that I hope to be able to attach to the race bike without the scroots having a problem with it so I’ll be able to post up some video footage to give people an idea of the amazing fun/terror that is Hornet racing.
I never went to see her play live, but I’ve been told she could sing a bit
As for me…
Live out west, the Chertsey area
Garage contains
VFR 800 vtec - love the vtec bit, nice wheelies at 7000 rpm . Done 18000 miles in 3 years, over half of them in France and Spain. Needs a new clutch and fork seals and a damn good wash.
GSX1100 Katana - 1983 vintage, all original (wears a Harris 4 into 1 but I have the standard pipes). For sunday trips to Boxhill and the Ace cafe.
2 x racing Hornets - pretty much identical - one has racing Bridgestone wets and an Ohlins the other has Bridgestone BT002s and a Nitron shock. Since I started racing last year everything I do kinda revolves around it - kinda takes over your life
So when you add the car, the missus’ car, the motorhome, the trailer and the mountain bikes up, that makes 30 wheels
