This is an A6 C7 from 2018 but is a common platform for many VW, Audi, Skoda, Seat vehicles.

Here's a lap round Donington Park from me on my RC30 with a nice pass by Carl into Coppice. You can see I'm too slow coming out of the corners (need a lower gear and more revs). CRMC GP parade July 2024

Driving south on the M74 at a steady 70MPH I see a truck stopped on the other carriageway with a tyre missing. The tyre had bounced over the central reservation and was right in the middle of the fast lane. A muppet in a Honda in the outside lane didn't see it (didn't swerve or even brake) and ploughed into it at about 90mph. As I said, muppet.

I'm 62, on a 40 year old Honda CB1100RD and Rory Skinner (22) passes me on a Pulse GP bike that's the same age. I thought I'd try to follow him.... Scraping the fairing, exhaust, kneepads and footpegs round the old hairpin at 90 mph, I decided to let him go. :-)

The CB1100R Owners club were lucky enough to be given a session round Donington with the Past Masters. Jamie Whitham, Ian Simpson, Alex George etc. This video is a little fuzzy as my windscreen was not clean, but you can get the gist of it. See Rory Skinner pass me at 15:05 and watch me vainly try to keep up with him...... Apologies to Adrian Cummings who is riding bike number 9 and who I have ...

The timing on my 1953 125cc MV Agusta race bike was out, so this is how I reset it to 53 degrees BTDC. Turn the sound up at the end ......

Here's my 1956 MV Agusta race bike - a Squalo. MV Agusta's factory race team had been developing 4-strokes for some years and in 1952 achieved its first major international success when Cecil Sandford secured the 125cc World Championship - MV's first. For the following season, MV made available a single-cam, version of Sandford's works dohc racer, the Sport Competizione, which rapidly became th...

I was having some jetting issues with the CB900 so had a look at the carbs. This shows a simple trick to check whether the float height is correct or if a float valve is sticking. In this case it was the number 4 float sticking closed that was causing the misfire.

This video section shows the removal of the sump, the oil pump assembly and the use of the special penetrating oil to try to free the pistons.

This is an old Velocette we're restoring. She wasn't happy about starting but gave in eventually ! This is the first time it’s run since it broke down in 1971 on the chaps way home from work. Well done Paul.

This is a 1997 "Steelie" Honda CBR600 race bike that I've just bought. As part of the winter refresh I thought I'd check the valve clearances and this is a quick video to show what I did. Note: You can buy a special tool to hold the cam chain tensioner fully engaged (about £5 on eBay) but if you have a helper they can simply keep the tensioner screwed in while you make the checks. I did the che...
