Honda Magna description
Not much to say on this bike. It runs great, I ride it every day I am able to work and back which is about an 85 mile round trip route. No smoke, no leaks, no mechanical issues. v4 engine produces a bunch of power so don't let the 750cc fool you. Plenty of highway speed, easy over 100mph It's a very smooth ride, its a very easy bike to handle. If you are looking for a first bike, I wouldn't waste my time getting a 250 rebel or virago or whatever, just go with something like this with a low seat height (28") and low center of gravity. A fine daily or weekend driver. Cosmetically it looks great from a few feet away but it is 20 years old so there are some light scratches and touch ups on the paint. It looks to me like the tank had been repainted at some point as there is a small area of rippling on the left top portion (like the orange peel thing). Also there is light oxidation at various small places, most of which comes off with some 000 steel wool, I just spend more time riding than polishing my bike. It's an actual vehicle for me vs some weekend toy. There is also a small scrape on the left side top exhaust. I don't think this was from a lay down as there isn't any other scrapes that would indicate that, just in that one place. Also, the PO took out the baffles on the lower 2 exhaust pipes but left them in on the top 2. I would assume that this was to avoid rejetting the carb. It works fine, but it creates a slightly odd exhaust note to have just half the baffles in. There are many easy mods for the exhaust on these bikes all over forums but again, its not something that bothers me enough to spend an afternoon working on it. I'm more concerned with how my vehicle rides and performs on a daily basis vs if it sounds super cool for other people to hear. Just serviced at the beginning of this riding season. Tires, clutch, brakes are all fine, no need to spend a dime on this bike in the immediate future. The spade is a decal, you can remove it if you so desire I have a passenger pad with the mounting hardware for this bike, I do not use it or put it on, i ride solo as you see it, but you will receive that part as well. I may also have some over the fender saddle bags laying around. If I can find them, you are welcome to them. I ride this every day, so mileage will increase from what you see here. I am selling it to fund and make room for a winder project bike that I plan on riding next year. Its a fabulous bike for the money. More HP than a Harley, yet 1/3 the price.

Bahrain track days
Tue, 17 Dec 2013A few months ago, expat (and ex racer) John Beddall made contact to ask if I fancied doing some track day instruction out in Bahrain. After thinking about it for two seconds, flights were booked and a plan was put in place to look after around forty riders for a day at the Bahrain International Circuit (BIC). Young Taylor Mac was also recruited to look after any tasty riders that I couldn’t deal with The Brits out there love their bikes, however, quite a few locals also turned up plus a few others from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar. Most were on high end Superbikes, like S1000s, Panigales and RSV4s but there was also a healthy number R6s and new 675Rs. Although this fabulous Hermann Tilke designed circuit is around ten years old incredibly it has never hosted a bike race. The highlight of the year there is F1 but being owned by the Bahrainian Royal family, there is no desperate need for the circuit to operate as a profitable business. The track reminded me of Qatar but much more interesting as some great undulations have been built into its desert location. We shared the track with Supercars on the day (20mins on/20mins off) and as you might imagine it was betty swollocks for seven hours in the 30 plus temperatures. As usual there was a few offs with poor old RS1000 Aprilia mounted Andy breaking his femur early in the day. Two other buddies appeared to swap bikes mid air in another incident but fortunately escaped unhurt.In the evening everyone stayed for an al fresco dinner in the paddock with the craic going on for hours as the Fosters kept flowing. All in all it was a brilliant trip and it has left me thinking there could be cost effective ways of getting Brits out there for track days next winter. I'll keep you posted.Cape Town next to make my racing comeback at the Killarney 8 hour on a CBR150 Honda. Hopefully I can manage the beast, I'll post a full report next week.
How to solve the mystery of the wildcard replacement
Wed, 30 Jun 2010With the two test riders coming forward to act as replacement riders for the injured Rossi and Aoyama, it brought back memories of the days when the grid would be gifted with wildcard riders from the respective countries. The Japanese rounds were always attended by some of the top guys with experience of the 500GP and MotoGP bikes, through racing them in their domestic championships. What resulted was getting to witness the exciting and talented Japanese riders, and bring new riders to the attention of the teams.
