Lots of balloons and lots of purple ribbons we were told for a surpise for your new GSR600. Happy to oblige and enjoy it. Check out www.natsballoongirluknook.com for more pictures.

Kenny had a really good weekend on his GSXR1000 firts race was 3rd, second race was second and third race first. Not bad, the workouts in the gym are paying off. Take note Splutt who could only manage a third all weekend on his Prilia. Time you had another GSXR1000!

After years of sweat and toil comes retirement and the chance to ride ones new toy. Never mine Peter you can follow Stuart in a few years...........

Heres Kev trying out the new two wheeled fire engine for the recuse service. It will give firemen like Kev a quick response vehicle to get to the pub in double quick time. And is that man at the back drinking tea, not allowed on the new rosta's!

Well that what Sean hopes, One day when the kids are all growed up, meanwhile you will have to give it back to Kev.

Enjoy it - I know you will and so will all of you neighbours and friends who seemed to turn up when we delivered it!

Just how long to do the first 600 miles? For most people the answer is usually weeks, for some its a couple of months, but over a year! Shame on you. Some poor excuse about being away in Oz or Thailand or was it really just Brighton?

You see in front of you one of the founder members of the OFMC. That's the Old Farts Motorcycle Club. It could just catch on.

Yes Dan's back on the road at last after the second episode involving that old tarmac, sky, tarmac, sky, grass, sky, hedge, sky scenario. Bike looks nice with its black frame and bright orange paintwork. Been inspired by Dave @ Paragon????

Spit now has a standing order at his local dentist to hep him with his bottle. That's the bottle on his bike not the one in his head. That blue bottle on his bike is full of laughing gas. Makes most people cry when he hits the button and disappears at a very high speed.

Enough said - Enjoy it!

Even under that full face helmet you can see another smile that says it all.

You saw it here first, our latest rider tipped for the top of the racing profession. All sponsors please send your cheques to Aaron Racing Fund

STOP PRESS

Fed up the instability of two wheels Ditch has bought a Trike. Perhaps now he won't have to wait 4 months for a tank respray. Might have trouble fitting the 12 Bandit engine in.

Supertramp wrote a song for you Tom!

Not content with his own GSXR1000 Eric wants a little more power trying JR's own bike for size. He went on to win on this actual bike (thats JR not ER)

At last he got to meet his greatest hero.

They chatted at great length about bikes, riding, racing and helicopters. Autographs were given, photos taken, advice was given and gratefully taken from the expert. There was lots of talk of suspension settings, gear ratios, engine mapping and all the help a really great man could give.

Afterwards he quoted "It was nice to meet him at last, I've read so much about him, he is a legend, he's a real down to earth guy, he gave me some really good advice" JR then went on to win some races on the GSXR1000. 

Enough said

Jack and his new 400 Burgman
 

After many years of racing around on GSXR's, Gold wings, and alot of other fine bikes. Jack has finally decided to act his age and not his shoe size and buy something sensible for the man about town.

Change of mind

After the Burgman Jack had a complete mid life crisis - A Scooter! no! - so he bought the GSXR600.

Keith's new toy - as promised
Look closely and you will find him!

Typical Suzuki Owner

The suns out, the roads dry, its a nice day and you come out in a car!

Just to show I'm a good sport! This dates back to about 1975 "ish". We were at the time trying to set up the Solent Kawasaki centre. I wonder what would have happened if Bob Golner hadn't got it!

Yes its a Kawasaki Z900 - It was one of the first ones in town - Yes my hair was that long - Yes it is a hole in my jeans! No it wasn't mine, it belonged to Chirvy -Where are you - if you see this then ring or email me.

Paul Lewis filming Big Bike Little Bike series for Granada for an "unbiased report" on Customs. Funny but the Harley won!!!

Here's a shot of Andy proudly showing off his new Pompey shirt. He's a season ticket holder and hasn't missed a game for years. He was one of the few who supported the Japanese goalie showing his true feelings for all things Japanese.
