This trips really stems back to 1987, when I first met Jack at the Bol d Or at circuit Paul Rockhard in the south of France. Back then we were young dumb and full of c**, now we’re just older. I very much doubt we anticipated then we would still be dicking around on motorbikes, …
Overlooking the Firth of Forth and the Queensferry Bridge, Knockhill has been hosting events since 1974, when a local farmer decided to diversify a little, sheep farming to race circuit. At the end of August it hosted the Rewind festival for all things oldskool, just how we like it. Jack and I used it as …
Centurion Motorcycle Projects can be found in the rolling hills of Northumberland just outside Hexham. Brian McCall has been messing around on motorbikes since he was about 9 years old, what started out as blasting round fields on a Casal 50 and a BSA C15 has now become a passion, a passion that now extends …
Storm Karen promised so much but failed to deliver, we had anticipated a lifetime of trouble n strife over the course of a weekend, it didn’t happen, and that’s a good thing. We had a ball, as ever. The future, in the shape of the weekend looked a bit bleak, rain, fire and brimstone. It …
I first met Ian Feeley in a car park in downtown Malmedy, Belgium, just down the road from the Spa circuit. James and I were on our way home after watching the classic and endurance racing over the weekend up at the circuit. Three lads wandered over to chat after seeing our UK number plates, …
So there I am, riding out on the F1, happy as a clam, climb up Garrowby Hill and there’s a cough and a splutter and she’s running pretty bad. The happiness is short lived, isn’t it always! I make it to a lay by and whip the tank off, nothing obvious and I have all …
Our destination on this trip, the West coast of Ireland, via the racing at the North West 200, this is just one of the many spectacular views along the coastline, blessed with great weather for May with only one real day of rain to spoil the fun. This could be the last visit to the …
I think a fair few of will know that Harris have been a big part of my life. It’s 40 years since first seeing a Harris on the cover of Superbike magazine and 36 years since collecting my first frame kit from the Hertford factory in December 1987. Harris performance products have been building bikes …
That’s not my wife, it’s Pete’s wife Mary Beth, that is American, I just kept hearing it as Pete introduced himself to the many American visitors we encountered on our latest Scottish adventure, the isle of Mull, the Kintyre peninsula and Arran. We headed up through Yorkshire on the back roads, Masham, Leyburn, Reeth, Alston …
Is a question posed, whilst in a French supermarket, in France! Le Mans 23 has us travelling to Portsmouth in the worst weather I have had in all of the trips south for the 24 hour race. Although it seems we fare better travelling later from Yorkshire, leaving at 1.30pm with Les and others travelling …
