Tickin' over
Fast Bikes UK|June 2023
The 2023 British Superbike Championship is now well under way – and if you  didn’t put the work in pre-season, I’m sorry to say you’ve probably missed the boat. Au revoir…

Tickin' over

It’s crazy. I see so many riders ramp up their training as a new season begins, but this is actually one of the worst things you could do – at this point in the year, the gas should be rolled off in an attempt to maintain the level of physical fitness developed during those long, hard winter months... not rolled on to improve it. 

In past issues of Fast Bikes, I’ve touched on the various phases (mesocycles) of physical preparation required to develop the best package possible to win races, each of which are characterised by differing levels of training intensity. In season is most definitely NOT the time to be going hard at it.

Sensational Suzuki Live - Blending decades of motorcycles, racing legends, track time and a beer tent with a cracking band, Suzuki Live's formula proved a winner for the thousands there.

Blending decades of motorcycles, racing legends, track time and a beer tent with a cracking band, Suzuki Live’s formula proved a winner for the thousands there. As motorcycling events go, Suzuki Live's 2024 effort is surely set to take some topping. Held over two days at the iconic Cadwell Park circuit, the event played host to a list of two-wheeled legends and a mixed bag of iconic Suzuki machinery spanning five decades.

It's a long time since I had that feeling... 1057 days, to be precise, and if you were to ask if 'that day' was the day it would happen again, then I would have bet all my worldly belongings against it.

YAMAHA WABASH RT

When you live a life of wheelies, burnouts and fast laps on race tracks, it's hard to spot a midlife crisis... but six months on in the saddle of Yamaha's Wabash e-bike, I daresay that's exactly where I'm at. I'll be honest, cycling isn't for everyone, and quite frankly, Lycra is even more polarising, but for me, life on two wheels, be it powered or pedalled, has formed my staple diet for as long as I can remember.
