Good stuff! Cheers Chris👌🏼
Watched this a few years ago and I always recommend it to new riders. Even if you’re experienced on a motorcycle it’s still worth watching.

Coming up to 46th year riding. Still love sports bikes, still don't get adventure bikes. Still race!

Nowadays:
-Value quality over quantity in a ride
-Not all about speed and distance any more.
-Much more considerate of pillions than in my 20s
-A convivial lunch stop adds a lot to a day out

This is a reconstruction of the full tower, it is based on scanning of the surviving structure and accurate historical documentation.
I love these cut-out see through illustrations, used to stare at them for ages as a kid.

Look there's the toilet!

Motorcycle Live… a great day!

Sat night beers with racing champs, Sunday show.

Cool bikes + a truck, a 3 wheeler & a car too.

The rise of the Chinese bike brands (Kove Dakar rep for me).

Rode a Kawasaki “125” size e-bike on the slippy slalom.

Top fun playing on the tight MX track on the OSET.😀

Hi there, As someone with a definite interest in John Woodley’s racing adventures (and the owner of the Mk2 RG he rode in ‘77 & ‘78 in Europe & the UK), I’d love a copy of his book. How/where do I send money? Cheers, Mark👍

Hey bsky bike people, who’s going to the NEC #MotorcycleLive this weekend?

We’re there Sunday and maybe Sat afternoon too, staying on-campus, sitting on bikes, paying too much for coffee and generally imagining what an unlimited budget could buy to fill an infinite garage. 😀 #Excited
