Ready and raring...

On the way to the ferry.
Just stopped at Slipstream to fit some tyres on rims.

Uncle Phil kindly sent them to Peter Day and they were collected on the way down.

'Ming the merciless'

Been working with Peter for a couple of days.

Ming looks stunning.

Off to Croix en Ternois tomorrow for a practice day.

I'll be riding both the bike and the circuit for the first time!

This is a photo of the 'Sorcerer and his apprentice'...

Geoff Sawyer Memorial Trophy.

I am very proud to have been recently voted Rider's Rider at the British Supermono Dinner Dance.
The memorial tropy is in honour of Geoff Sawyer who was a long time motorcycle racing enthusiast and a great supermono stalwart.

The trophy is presented to the rider who, in the opinion of his fellow riders, has most epitomised the spirit and commitment of the Supermono class during the season.

Gordon's mates are of the opinion that it was only because of the 'Gordon' project that I won the trophy, and here you can see one of his mates trying to get it off me.

The absolute dogs nuts...

Peter has excelled himself; Gordon looks the business.

There are just beautiful hand crafted touches all over.

New boots sir!

Received my 2008 Dayona boots today direct from the factory.

We visited the factroy late last year, and Helmut Frey the owner of the Daytona brand showed us round the entire place, and at the time asked if I needed more product.
And 'like magic' they apeared 'just like that'.
I wanted to keep the main colour scheme Red/White/Black to match my leathers, but left it upto him to do the design.

These are the latest generation boots and are simply the best things you could put on your feet!
I always try to mention that when it comes to saftey, there is no option for me, safe feet equals Daytona....

Gordon's new clothes.

This season I think I will try to keep Gordon looking more like an orgininal SZR; with a half fairing.

It has been difficult to find something that would work - but at last I found Pascal at a French Company, BUB Composite that do a SZR replacement fairing.

Check out Pascal's website: BUB Composite for all you Yamaha SZR owners out there.
