Back after an awesome weekend of racing, even got to meet Tricky :) (Great to meet you buddy and you did well!)

So as you mat have read, i was joining the True Heroes Racing team for this round, the plan is to get involved and hopefully join the team fully when possible.
While there was no pressure ...

A few pics before bed.

Thanks Weeksy,

Was talking to Alan Holland about you last time i was there (a month or two ago) just wondering if you guys were doing a weekender there or not.

Top thread Dave, dunno how, but I had missed most of it and forgotten that you'd had a bit of Bandit fun , and was just thinking of you as an R1 man

Roll on Saturday eh! 8-) 8-) :thumbup:


Yeah i bloody loved that Bandit bought by a nice guy who's racing it still i believe, James Taylor, i'd ...

Holy fuck that sounds awful! Well, the accident/injury bit! Congrats on the dad bit and the third!

Endurance is aces - have loads of fun :D :D Look forward to more write ups :D :D :D


Thanks Noggin :) Can't wait to get stuck in, really looking forward to this coming weekend though and just ...

Cracking read, thanks. :thumbup:

V interesting about the geometry and the arm pump.

:shock: about the helmet at Brands but maybe that's part of how the impact energy was absorbed? Glad you survived to ride another day.


Thanks Count Steer!

honestly the difference was incredible, i think ...

So.... it's a a while since i updated this..

As is always the case life, work and all the rest of it gets in the way.

So i'll start with the 2023 season.

I'd sold the Bandit and me and my team mate scott decided to jump into Bemsee and do a full season in the Rookie 1000s.

Brand Hatch Round 1 ...

Will do buddy!

Really enjoyable read this Tricky!!

Great to see the successes too,well done, i'm at Donny at the end of the month, racing with the True Heroes lot (Things have progress since my last racing update)
We are in garage 3, please do feel free to pop by and say hello, i can come find you etc.

Thanks so much guys, glad to see it's enjoyed.

Cheers guys much appreciated, certainly the level, even in rookies classes is very high from what I've experienced, we were doing 1:13s at Donington, with the leader luke doing 1:12s, fast times even if we were in powerbikes, but tyres..it's eye Watering on the r1.
I've loved every bit of it though ...

like worzel gummidge took up racing lol.

Love the hot pants

About £550 for a full custom design of your choice and fitted, yeah the big benefit is that it can come off, can do a different design if you grow tired etc, they do road bikes too.
Fantastic guys that I can't speak more highly of.

Yeah so that's what i race in, the Suzuki Challenge cup, i've just checked the race results and Dave Crampton has been racing this year, currently 5th in the Championship, i probably know him tbh, i'm just crap with names lol.

Make sure you mention me to Dave. He won't forget me :D
We shared ...

Ahhhhhh the memories... My first race was with NGRRC at Keevil airfield... i shattered many bones.

It got slightly better from there, but not massively.

Your posts though bring back a lot of memories


It sounds a painful experience bud, thankfully, although i've had some proper moments, i've ...

Ah, I'm a couple of years out of date, it used to be sponsored by Black widow Exhausts with no Suzuki support.

It's strange that Suzuki offically support ancient Mk1 Blandit 600 racing, they bare no semblance of any model they currently sell.


You're allowed to race Mk2 aswell, but that's ...

Cracking write up Dave, enjoyed that! Makes me want to get back racing again as I miss that excitement, that buzz but it’s purely financial reasons for me, once funds are good again I’ll get back at it, pity I’ll have to start from scratch again.

Keep them coming 💪🏻🔥


Cheers bud, yeah it's ...

The last race we did was at Castle Combe, they are Angelsey this weekend but i can't make it.

Castle Combe was a load of fun, another track i'd never ridden before until qualifying, but we had an awesome time, turn 1 was crazy, just pinned with the bike sliding about all over the place, only did ...
