MotoGP Road Trip: Back to the Rock

Home again. What a difference a day makes. This morning I left the hotel to make the 20 minute trip to the Ferry in Poole. Only now it was cold, and very damp due to thick mist which covered the entire route and most of the journey home. After the typical Condor check in farce, […]

MotoGP Road Trip: Race Day

It’s hot, the grandstands are hot and I’ve been wilting in the heat but the quality of the racing made it all worthwhile. Three races and less than a second combined between 1st and 2nd in all three races. The MotoGP was a cracker. Rins taking it right on the line after timing a move […]

MotoGP Road Trip: Pole Position

Photo of the Week: MotoGP in Valencia

Taken for a ride

One of my favourite days of the entire trip was towards the end of my stay in Hoi An. Earlier in the week I had met Mr. Uyen and arranged to hire a motorbike and go out into the countryside, along some of the mountain roads and stop off at a couple of places along […]
