Manx Surprise

Professional photographer Robin of Northline Photography sent me this complimentary shot from the Manx last week... one of the best pics I have of the fortnight.

This has spurred me on and now plans are now afoot for the 2012 season.

Thanks Robin!!

Dream Ride

Big jumps and some breathtaking footage...

Cool Monster

Another cool Monster from Cafe Racer Culture...

It's an S4RS. Been wanting to do something like this to mine. He's got to give it 'the chop' at the back though...

Roids

This morning I got 3 injections to my shoulder. Two aneasthetic and a one steriod into the joint. Trying to help out my 'rotator-cuff impingement' that I sustained during the Rye House pile-up in September.

Shoulder has been giving me grief since then... sure hope the injections sort it... 'cause I hate injections...

Roof of Africa Pics

Overall Winner of Roof of Africa 2011 - Graham Jarvis (GB)

Igor Baleta: ...

that was a true test of character and resolve. After 20 hours and 7 minutes of racing over two days, i just scraped in by under half an hour. And as if i needed more drama at the end of the last day, 12 hours in the saddle, the sun was setting, my fuel was on reserve, had no more drinking water then both my g.p.s's ran flat literaly half a km from the finish line and i ended up lost on the edge of a cliff across the valley from where i was suposed to be with hundreds of spectators cheering me on and trying to direct me in, talk about stress...!.Thanks ENDUROWORLD, NOMADIK, my brother Nic and all the spectators and competitors who helped out along the way.

A few pics from my brother Igor's Roof of Africa 2011 where Igor finished in the silver class...
