THIS MONTH I HAVE MOSTLY BEEN… “Reminiscing about the good times.”
Like most good things that come to an end, so too has my time with my termer. Having spent a good few months together, I’d say that we’ve established a ‘friends with benefits’ kinda relationship. It’s not been true love, however I’ve grown rather fond of the Suzuki’s GSX-S1k and like any good friend, she’s been 100% reliable, we’ve created some fond memories and shared a few special moments during our time together. The best of which has to be (hands down) our little Europe tour when the ol’ man and I had a wee jaunt down to witness the Italian MotoGP.
The naked thou has proven to be a well rounded machine, one that has provided enough comfort while smashin’ 750 miles in a day, one that hasn’t missed a beat on the daily commute and one that has (rather surprisingly) stamped its authority on track.
It’s a shame that my last ride was a cold and frosty one and if we weren’t parting company then I’d be sorting some heated grips to keep things a little more bearable during these colder months.

DAN LINFOOT THE WORLD AT HIS FEET...
The racing world is full of characters who generally like to keep themselves to themselves, and I respect that. However, some of these people have a great story to tell. I'm incredibly fortunate to be friends with a few, have access to many more, and through my role with the award-winning podcast Chasin' the Racing, I get to sit down and chew the fat with some amazing individuals, so I wanted to give you lovely bunch a peep through the keyhole and an opportunity to get to know a bit more about some of these 'people of interest'.
ROSSI'S RANCH - LA 100KM DEI CAMPIONI
It's not every day you get the invite to trade paint, drifts and stories with Rossi and a bunch of world champions, but that's how life played out for the Neave twins a few weeks back.
RATING RUBBER...
We love a tyre launch, and especially ones of a sporty disposition. So when Michelin dropped us a line about not one, but two additions to their range, we didn't need our arm twisting to get stuck in and see what they're all about...

Steve Parrish
I'm fresh back from the South African Classic TT races and Christ, it's still bloody raining over here.
Christian Iddon
Well, my last column was all about just how I'm going to be the most prepared I could ever be for the season ahead.
SHOEI X-SPR PRO
I'll cut to it... when it comes to my kit, I don't mess around - especially when it comes to helmets.
