Now a happy sound, I recently fully stripped and rebuilt the engine and chassis of this 87 TZ250 for a St.Neots Motorcycles customer. The highlight of 2020 for me! 😎
In the early hours of Friday morning my Mum after suffering a fall was taken into Bedford Hospital, oxygen levels were low and now being treated for Covid. With ltd information on her condition described as conscious I really don’t know how poorly she is, come on dig deep Mum.🙏🏻
So there you have it…. Multi Billion pound profits in the first 3 months by two of the big fuel companies! There can be no denying we are being comprehensively fxxxxx over on prices at the pump🤬
It’s with great sadness to announce my lovely Mum passed away early this morning, she’ll leave a big gap in our lives as we all loved her very much Xxxx 😢
Can someone explain why fuel prices are still ridiculously high and oil is under $100 a barrel again, the fuel price went up instantly and the robbing bastards should return the new lower price just as quick🤷🏼♂️
Thought I’d mention for the dumbasses I’ve seen this last couple of days riding sports bike with their girlfriend/wife wearing just shorts and a little vest top that getting stuck under a bike against tarmac can still happen even when the sun’s out and hot!! Bellend’s. 👌🏻👍🏻
Give the guy’s a break!!!! Horrified? Really! He is stood as close to lorry as he can and once again as so often happens the horrified victim has the thought to film the whole occasion. Sincerely hope John Lewis treat this in about 1 second and disregard it. News worthy? 🐮 💩
31 years ago today an HGV driver after driving over his hours fell asleep at the wheel, the resulting crash on the M25 claimed my Brother Paul’s life. I can never forgive you, you utter wanker for what you put my family through particularly the mental health my Dad suffered.
Sadly clearing out my Mum and Dad’s old house and came across this in the garage attached to a picture of me racing. Bless you Mum and Dad, always had my back covered. X
Just got back to pits as champion, Dad and my right hand man Glen Gibson. Emotional picture but my family had been to hell and back following my brothers death 2 years before. Racing and the paddock pulled us through😁
So Lily is 15 and I made the mistake of cutting her sarnies into 4 yesterday causing huge embarrassment at school, “don’t ever do that again Dad!!” So I said I wouldn’t, hope she likes her soldiers today?😂😂😂
Footballers please take note when you cant play for a week because of a stubbed toe,
@aroncanet44
breaks left radius, screwed together on Monday and 6 days later finishes 2nd at Spanish GrandPrix.💪🏻👊🏻
Here’s me and Dad after my first national championship win. Jimbo would have been 88 today, still miss you loads Dad so tonight I’ll have a whisky or two for old times sake🥃🥃😔
Mum has got through surgery this afternoon and is stable on the ward this evening. Thank you so much for the messages of support, it means a lot to us. ♥️
I see on the news that F1 is going to have a meeting to discuss if they should race in Russia, that discussion should last less time than it took me to tweet about it, what a terrible time for Ukrainian people.😢
It has to be said, I’m not enjoying the need of the organisers to constantly penalise riders for what Imo I saw as a pure racing incident yesterday with
@FabioQ20
yes it was mistimed but certainly not malicious from a constant offender.
International women’s day and good news. Mum Sawf is out of hospital tomorrow! Last 6 weeks she has fractured the top of both femurs, had pneumonia and Covid. She’s genuinely as tough as they Come 💪🏻👊🏻😁!!!🤞🏻for a continued good recovery. Thank you
#NHS
we are blessed🙏🏻
Because of this cxxxt, its just taken
@becster73
nearly 4 hours to get to pick our daughter up and it’ll take probably another 4/5 hours to get home. I’d like 1 minute with him to explain the error of his ways the useless fucking Prick!
The most beautiful picture you will see today - our very own Gino Rea walking, talking and most importantly - smiling❤️
Defying the odds - a different gravy are racers!! 🤞🏼
It’s a good news day, Mum Sawf was in respite care when this lockdown occured, 20 residents and staff are affected by Covid in her Home, thankfully after displaying symptoms of Covid the tests have come back negative. 🙏🏻 thankyou
I still can’t get my head around the fact Rossi started in GP when I was winning at British Championship, I then retired some 5 years later, had 3 kids with the eldest now 18 and he’s only just finishing and still so unbelievably fast. Thanks, it’s been a great ride to watch.👏🏻
@matoxley
my experience of how tough a GP is, my example in 96 was this, I’d put up the fastest 2 wheel lap ever at Brands that year on a 250 with a 46.6second lap, won 96 British 250 title, qualified 2.4 sec off pole at GP & finished 16th and lapped and felt decidedly average.🤷🏼♂️
This can be a good move despite negativity from some. It will have been well thought out
@niallmackenzie1
is no mug is he! Maybe a deal to go WSBK following year (who knows 🤷🏼♂️)but a new challenge at World level will be good. All the very best for the new year
@tarranmac95
👍🏻👍🏻
Doesn’t matter who you voted for, Boris couldn’t of arrived at number 10 at a worse possible time, that was a proper speech and Sounded every bit the leader. Come on, everybody has to fulfil their bit now!
7 years ago today Jimbo left us and where’s that time gone? I’ve had a glass of red tonight and thought about the good times we shared, thankfully we had a lot of them!! Cheers Dad.🍷
Such sad news today, taken way to soon, thoughts tonight with Chrissy and his family, his friends and his team. Our great sport is unbelievably harsh at times.🙏🏻😔
We always mention the riders that have made it through to GP/WSBK but let’s just give a shout out to all the mechanics that started out at BSB and gone on to work at World Championships because it’s a long list and some great people winning titles and contributing to many wins👏🏻
There’s good sponsors and there’s great sponsors, I had a few good years with this man Dennis Trollope. You’ll struggle to find many more enthusiastic people than Dennis.😁
1992 final round, Brands Hatch, I can’t begin to tell you the shit we’d been through after my brothers death in 1990 and at last out of a deep hole. All the team here are also gone now, special memories 😥❤️
A successful weekend for Ava with 2 wins a 3rd and 4th.😎 Plus it was Dad dancing at its finest this weekend with a tongue in cheek competition,thankfully Ava doesn’t get her dance skills from me! The things we do as parents to please the kids 😂😂
#asyougetolderyoudontgiveashit
25 years this week since I won the BSB 250 Championship on the great team Total Aprilia and here we are at the final
@OfficialBSB
round of 21
@niallmackenzie1
won it in 96 and I’d love to see
@tarranmac95
repeat that later today. Best of luck to all the championship contenders👍🏻
I argued with a few negative folk on here last year when Taz took the WSS ride and this shows the decision was right, the bigger picture. All the best for 24 WSBK
@tarranmac95
👊🏻😎
I’ve said so many times that motorsport doesn’t need that type of follower, they have no idea of what it takes to win a club race let alone take so many wins at MotoGP 🤦🏼♂️
I got to say it. I’ve read SO many negative comments on Marquez returning or hoping he can’t return again or be the same. People actually hoping that. Well I know what it’s like to not go back and I’m so glad he just Uppercutted all that trash. Get some!
I can hear the phone going in a few years….. Were you miss sold an EV, with no infrastructure in place and the promise of cheaper running costs? You could be eligible for thousands of pounds compensation press

to speak to someone now but be prepared for a long wait.🙄
So my 1989 TZ 250w has just arrived at St.Neots motorcycles for a full renovation. I can’t wait to see it when
@ASawfordRacing
has worked the magic on it. It’s been sat in the garage of the owner for 28 years.
@SteveSawford
I had a long chat with Itoh-san at the TT when I worked for Suzuki. He carried around the pistons and rods from his TT winning - like thimbles!
It wasn’t to be
@DixonJake
day today but I’m so glad he made the jump from BSB to Moto 2. It was tough to watch but this won’t be the only chance he’s going to get. To say it’s character building won’t cut it much tonight, but it is and he did a great job. 👏🏻
