Have a gander at this if you've got a spare hour or so. It's a great insight into what goes on in the challenge of the Isle of Man TT

The racing conveyor belt continues, prep the bikes, let the kids have all the fun racing them, take them away, strip and prep again. Deco will be back strong after his wrist injury for Donington along with a very fast and ready Ash. With a bit of a break in the schedule for us, it's time to have a few days rest and even start to rebuild the CB500

So the madness continues,
BSB Oulton Park turned out to be a very good weekend for the whole team with solid strong results from both sides of the garage. Then it was back into the workshop to prep for the next BSB, build a new Fireblade track bike and a new Kit CBR 600 for the Manx GP. No rest for the wicked.

It's been unbelievably busy lately with lots to be on with. Snetterton and Brands BSB. Crashed fireblades to repair, a new Fireblade build, The ever fast approaching Manx GP has also given me plenty to be prepping and even a new 600 build. Watch this space too as I've managed to squeeze in time for a mighty CB500 strip down. It's going to be built up to be a fully refreshed track bike.

No rest for the wicked. As soon as we landed back from the Isle of Man it was time to prep for the journey up to Scotland for round 3 of BSB. We had torrential rain for FP1 and FP2, Saturday gave sunshine and we even got a hot day on Sunday. Ash and Deco both did an amazing job on the bikes, Deco did have a little slip off in race 2 but no harm done to him or the bike really so onwards and upwards. The whole team came away looking forward to the next round at Snetterton.

So that's it for TT 2026. Supersport race 2, we finished a great 8th place on the little CBR 600. Then it was the big one, the Senior TT. The bike was at it's best, Jamie was at his best and so were the team. Unfortunately the race was red flagged on lap 2 where we were sitting in 6th place. It was later declared as a result. To say I'm proud of what has been achieved this week is an understatement. Racing is a massive team effort and Rapid Honda by Marvel HCL Motorsport is made up of amazing people that have the skill set and attitude to achieve. I wish all injured competitors a speedy recovery and of course my thoughts go out to Dan's family, friends and team who sadly lost his life chasing that dream.

Supersport race 1 done.
The weather yesterday gave us a window for a 3 lap race. A splash and dash pit stop and a 7th place finish once again 🏁
It was great to meet another childhood hero of mine Ricky Carmichael 💪 oh and some other bloke Brad Pitt
The weather has stopped play today but fingers crossed we can get out tomorrow for the next races.

02/06/2026

Superbike race done 🏁 Jamie finished P7.💪
6 laps are a massive test of man and machine around the Isle of Man TT course. The emotions everyone goes through before, during and after are undescribable.
The bikes are prepped ready to go again, we just need the rain to bu**er off now. 🙂

So that's practice week done and dusted. Finally both the bikes are handling and working well. 125mph lap on the 600 followed by a 130mph lap on the big bike. 💪
It's race day😀🏁

26/05/2026

So TT 2026 has begun. Jamie got 2 laps on each bike in yesterday's practice sessions. With only a few small tweaks to make to setup after day one, we are in a really good place.
More laps this evening is the plan and the weather is definitely playing ball right now.
