Castle Combe, October 2025.
Last meeting of the year and at the last minute I got asked to ride this in the parade session. Bought a few months back by one of the race marshals I know. He got it running and wanted to see it out on track. All was going well and if you look closely you can see that I am laughing out loud in my helmet. I got black flagged with three minutes of the session to go because the bike was smoking excessively. On the cylinder with the pipe closest to the camera in this shot. As it turned out the rear brake caliper was starting to bind on so had a lucky escape I feel. Great fun though, never ridden a two stroke road bike so to get to ride this one was cool.
