The Biker Place

Snetterton – NG Road Racing

After the Brands Hatch meeting I was looking forward to Snett and hoped to be battling up the field again. Our bike was looking smart again after my crash at clearways and had a newly painted faring. Which I’m afraid didn’t last long, in race one I was knocked off at the chicane by another rider who was pulling through the pack, so that was my first race over.

As I didn’t finish the first race this meant I would be starting the 2nd from the back row of the grid, I managed to pull through the field and finish 8th, I was disappointed with this though as lap times were nothing special and I was struggling to see where I could go faster.

I tried not to dwell on it and thought it’s another day tomorrow. So Sunday was just as hot and I felt happy with the bike in morning warm up, but again the racing wasn’t great finishing down the field with slow lap times. For the 400 race we altered the suspension by making the front end a lot harder and I went quicker and felt a lot happier about the whole weekend.

I am please we altered the bike and made improvement otherwise the weekend would had been very disappointing with the results. It was great to get away and the sunshine made for an enjoyable weekend.

Cadwell Park Thundersport

So the big surprise was that I also had a 250cc Honda entered at this meeting, it was the first time I had raced the bike and was really looking forward to it, and I loved it! it was great fun and took some pressure off the weekend, we chose Cadwell as this was local but I’m afraid it was a one off with this bike, and I defiantly hope to ride another in the near future.

As for the 125 I said I would be happy with top ten before I went and had a best of 6th, I enjoyed riding Cadwell and look for to returning on June the 7th and 8th. I would just like to thank all the Cadwell marshals for their support.
