tje racing: October 2008

Ready to go....the bike anyway

After getting the parts to fix the bike we managed to start on modifying the bike for next season. As you can see the rear wheel is now a Dymag and just over a kilo lighter than standard. The front wheel isn't too far away then we'll be looking to get a HM Quick shifter. All in all by the time the 2009 season comes around the bike will be lighter and more competitive.

Keep watching for more mods on the bike.

Just my luck

After my crash at Mallory my shoulder was pretty badly beaten up. Basically my Clavicle (collar bone) is out of alignment. It was getting slightly better until a week ago when whilst taking our dog for a walk i snapped my Metacarpal on my right hand.

So my planned track day was cutting it close but yesterday (14th Oct) i went back to the hospital where i was told that the bone had moved and needed to have an injection and have the bone re aligned............hence to say that it hurt....a lot!

So now i'm waiting to see if my finger needs operating on and also if my shoulder needs operating too....

It's not the best month i've ever had but hey ho, i just hope i can get fit as soon as possible

Starting up

Thank you for visiting this site, i wanted to make this a bit of a record into my long and illustrious racing career....i wish, but i also want to help people if i can to try their hand at racing too, i.e how to go racing, getting your license and joining a club, finding the right class to enter etc etc....

I've got myself a pretty standard RVF 400 Honda which cost less than £1500, i've kept a seperate section to show what i've done to the bike and what my plans are and hopefully the dyno read out if i can get the time to get it on there!
