It’s been a hell of a long time coming but Dangerous’ bike is finally off the ramp…
We’re getting there. It’s one bit at a time (literally), but the Moto3 bike’s build is slowly starting to pick up pace. If you’re up-to-date with our tale of woe so far then you’ll know we’ve had more conundrums than a fat kid in a sweet shop, but we’ve made some bold decisions and the results are paying off. We went on a bit of a wild goose chase with the yokes, but since deciding to settle with the stock GSX-R600 units, a lot of the potential problems have disappeared; such as wheel spacing. That was proving a right nightmare, owing to the fact that the Gixer forks’ radially mounted caliper was determining the distance permissible between the fork legs and the wheel’s spokes.
Anyway, without wishing to sound like a parrot and go over it all again, we figured our best path and I’m pleased to announce that we now have a functioning spindle (complete with spacers) machined and looking dapper. Hooray! Clive, who’s been the brains behind this build, did all the workings out and came up with a design that saw a boss, with an internally tapped thread, machined into the far side fork leg bottom, into which the threaded end of our spindle could locate. It cracked me up when I saw how he’d drawn it on some old scrap of paper, but it did the trick and the unit works a traet–so much for CAD and all that.

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 Liveâs 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 been a busy old month but so good being back in the thick of it. Despite the great British weather, it finally feels like summer is here, and I've been all over the place with some really great events since we spoke last month.

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.

LONGTERMER KAWASAKI ZX-6R
Last month, I was gearing up to consign my ZX-6R to the back of my garage while I disappeared for the best part of three weeks to work at the TT with Batham's Racing.
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.
