| 25th Dec 2009 Our resident teaboy hoped to find one of these in his stocking, but alas found nothing more than a ladder.
26th Nov 2009 The Honda Fireblade that was stolen last month reappeared in a housing estate in Surrey yesterday. Thanks to the boys in blue it is now back at the workshop, albiet a little worse for wear. 2nd Nov 2009 V-Max riding Ian proves that there is more to life than just going fast in a straight line. Rumours that Everest base camp is the only place you can actually get T-Mobile phone reception is totally unfounded. . This Month... In a reinactment of the Match.com adverts on the TV (where firstly they had too many women, and now too many men), we'd like to highlight the problem of too many customers bringing in biscuits and not enough coffee to go with it. If you feel like visiting Costa Coffee on the way in, Lattes with Vanilla go down a treat!
10th June 2009 Puncturesafe We are proud to announce that we are official suppliers of Puncturesafe puncture preventative and tyre life extender. Previously known as Ultraseal, Puncturesafe is applied before the puncture occurs and permanently seals punctures when they inevitably happen. We have been singing its praises for the past few years so come and get it installed before you end up stranded by the side of the road. Read all about it on the Puncturesafe website at www.puncturesafe.com and then give us a call. 7th June 2009.... TT Update Due to yesterdays bad weather the racing on the island was cancelled for both Saturday and Sunday. However, all was not lost as John McGuinness finally realised a life long dream of being pictured with his hero big Al.......
.....and managed to graffiti the back of Big Al's bike whilst he wasn't looking.
5th June 2009.... TT Update Our roving TT reporter, Alan, not content with just sharing a greasy spoon breakfast with the great John McGuinness, went one step closer to stardom by giving Michael Dunlop a lift back to the pits after the Norton that he was riding in practice broke down right in front of our Al. Reports of Alan replacing Steve Parrish as the biggest name dropper on the Island are unfounded.

Monthly Ramble for February 2010. 1st February 2010. Blimey, where has January gone? It seems like only a couple of days ago that we were getting stuck into our Christmas dinner and now we're in February. The workshop is back in full swing now the snow has cleared. It did amaze us that all through the snow, not a day went by without bikes turning up at the workshop. Are you all mad? Our own bikes were tucked up in the warm and the only transport we used had four wheels. Our R6 race bike is nearing completion and hopefully our first trackday outing will be at Rockingham on the 13th March. With a bit of luck the snow will be a distant memory and the only thing that will need warming up is the tyres. Here's a picture of the only view the other riders will get of the bike as it goes winging past them. Check out our Hottrax trackday dates below which we are awaiting confirmation of and will update the list as soon as we can.
Mark Holden:We tried to capture the image of The Fuhrer in all his glory but alas he is more reminiscent of Blakey from On The Buses.
Here's a little tip for you when you do your regular weekly checks on your bike (you do check your bikes don't you?). If you can do this with your chain you should have had it replaced a few thousand miles ago. TDP you really should know better.
Since breaking the news last year of the introduction of the electric police scooter with its silent running engine giving it stealth like ability to sneak up and nab you, we are deeply saddened to have to announce that the scooters will not appear on the streets as the company that supplied them have gone into liquidation. Never mind, we're over it already.
For all you less than hardened bikers (that includes us) don't forget to give your bikes a once over before venturing back out onto the roads, you know where we are if you need us. Regards, Darren and Mark. (but not in the biblical sense!)
Move along, nothing to see down here.
