22 06 09 - 22:19 Tom, Morini Trackday 2009

This is my mate Tom. He has a bit of an obsession with Moto Morini, the most obvious result of which is the rather special Dart he's riding in the photo. Naturally, he's a member of the Morini Riders Club, who hold an annual trackday at Cadwell Park in Lincolnshire. Tom has been trying to get me to come along to this pretty much every year since I've known him - but there's always been some reason why I couldn't make it. So this year I was determined not to miss it. It was a close run thing - with one thing and another I didn't get round to booking it till a fortnight before, and having lowsided the ZXR400 on track at Anglesey I didn't get it running again until the Sunday before. But in the end I made it to Cadwell last Thursday, and had a rather enjoyable day out - sunshine, sticky tyres and an uncrowded circuit.

I also took the camera along to capture some shots of Italian machinery being used as it was intended to be. See the link below for more:

» driverchris Graphic designer, bike and car nut, and vague acquaintance through the PB forum. I enjoy dipping into his blog from time to time, and this is a particularly cool post - classy interpretations of motorsport paint schemes, applied via the medium of Photoshop to a Fender Strat. Can you guess them all?

» Lois on the loose Stumbled across the name Lois Pryce via the ADVrider forums. Have just finished reading her first book, detailing her ride from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego on an XT225 Serow.

» Old man on a bike The print version of this got dropped on my desk at work by a colleague. 73 year old man rides from Mexico to Tierra del Fuego on a CG125. Hooray for daft adventures.
