Summer break as a kid was the best thing ever.Summer break from racing sucks though, because I love riding my bike and the thought of not getting to race for all that time makes me very sad indeed. This year however, it’s helped me out just a little as I head into the BSB holidays injured…
-
Round 3 was Oulton Park and my home round, so I had loads of family and friends set to come along and pretty much all my personal sponsors too. I’d done the BSB media event, was on the front cover of the programme and even did a TV thing for local ITV. The sun was out and life was good until I lost the front just eight minutes into free practice 2 and ended up doing my very best impression of a bouncing bomb. When I break bones I tend to get a nauseous sensation – and there it was. I had no pain but I knew what I had done, and as the break itself isn’t a bad one (it’s just a couple of bones in the back of my hand, it could’ve been much worse!).

MV UNLEASHES ITS BRUTALE SERIE ORO
MV Agusta has marked its claim on the middleweight naked class with the arrival of the all-new Brutale Serie Oro. At its core sits the brand-new 950 EVO triple, a snarling, counter-rotating crank masterpiece pumping out 148bhp at 11,200rpm and 107Nm at 8400rpm. Even better, 85% of that shove is on tap from 3500rpm... proper road-riding grunt. With finger-followers, revised cam profiles and optimised cooling and lubrication, MV says it's stronger, smoother and – dare we say it – more reliable than any Brutale before it.

BMW'S BABY GS
Let's face it, not everyone wants a whopping big adventure bike in their life, and BMW gets that more than most. It's probably the core reason it's unleashed the new F 450 GS - a bike aimed squarely at the booming A2 adventure market, which drags a hefty dose of R 1300 GS design swagger into the 48hp class. With its unmistakable GS beak, X-shaped LED running light and slim, racy tail, the baby GS looks every inch the younger sibling of BMW's flagship bruiser.

OLIVER LONGTERMER SUZUKI GSX-R125
Another month into winter and the cold weather is not holding me back just yet. Despite the painfully icy winds, I have been out just as much as my I did in the warmer months, though with the help of layered clothes. The GSX-R125 continues to deliver more excitement, learning curves, and head turns - even after three months of riding.
