2 Days Riding With Gas Gas Moto Tours UAE In Dubai

2014 Rally Bike Build Gets Underway.

The 2014 bike is currently in its 2nd phase of the build with the rear tank, fairing, and now navigation gear being installed. Long way to go and less than 2 months to complete the build ready for the 1st event - The Tuareg Rally

Libya Rally Entered

Very pleased to be taking part in the Libya Rally in April with Rally Maniacs. At the time of writing I'm the only UK entrant, but I will be in good company with old and new friends. The rally has little liaison sections (max 10%) over 7 days of racing of around 2,400 km's from Fez to Agadir.

Pirelli and Rock Oil for 2014

Very happy to announce that I'll be using Pirelli tyres and Rock Oil for the 2014 season in conjunction with Torque Racing.

KTM 950 Super Enduro

The opportunity to own a KTM 950SE presented itself and I couldn't resist! Collected the bike, changed the fluids and filters, and then took it for a quick ride locally. I was amazed how well a 200kg bike goes off-road in standard trim and using the road biased Pirelli tyres. The 950 handled the mud and rocky hill climbs of Devon with ease. The 950 will get a set of Pirelli XC tyres, the suspension worked on, and a decent bash plate before it's next outing. Hope to race it next year in the Spanish Baja, the Hardalpitour, and some rounds of the UK ATRC series.

General News

Sold my house which was quite an emotional event. I now have the funds to build a much needed new bike, pay for my ongoing training, and ultimately chase my Dakar obsession dream.
The bike will be based on a new Husqvana TE449 and the Pedro Bianchi Prata rally kit. The bikes are being sold new here in the UK very cheaply due to the recent KTM ownership and Pedro's kit has proven vey successful.

The completion/move date of the house sale unfortunately took place during the entered Merzouga Rally so regrettably I had to  cancel.

I was really looking forward to the rally. The Merzouga is an event that I've always wanted to take part in. Edo has very kindly agreed to keep my entry fee for next year. Thanks Edo!
