Don't lwt Jamie borrow your new bike. Not when he's got to ride 100 miles for some free Fish 'n Chips
Earnshaws, my local bike shop in Huddersfield, has occasional midweek bike runs out and this time round I went along. Me and a pal of mine, King, went - him on his nearly brand new Fazer 1000 and me on an FJR1300, sports-tourer thing, I borrowed

After a fan waving do at Brands Hatch, Whit comes unstuck with a pair of fake breasts...
just dangling in the water.You have to go through the marina near his house at 2mph after you clear the launch slip, so by the time we got through the main marina to the sea, quite slowly but still breaking the 2mph speed limit a bit, his jet ski had

What is it about Whit and old bikes? The man clearly lives for them. And this month James is revelling in the joy of two-strokes - remember them?
IT ALWAYS SURPRISES me just how reliable bikes are these days. Over a 10-year period - 1995 to '05 - I was involved in organising over 300 track days, with Speedfreaks. We used mostly R1s, R6s and GSX-R600s for our instructors' bikes. Every year we

House parties, Fizzie parts, Phil Read and fart machines. It can only be our own Jimmie Whit!
and Fizzie! We're the saddest people in the world.I went to a local bike shop to buy some bits for the Fizzie and as I was standing at the counter this lad said to me, "are you James Whitham? Me dad took me to see you racing years ago. What are you doing here

Snowball fights in Dubai, lost, concussed trials riders, angry ramblers - name the constant. James Whitham of course.

Injuries, new contracts, the option of riding a BSB bike and checking out Lancaster Bombers
year and riding our bike would be a bit of a shop window. So instead of hanging about I went home. If I'm not riding I don't like waiting around, plus at the airfield on that Sunday we had our annual fly-in, where other pilots arrange to come for a bit

GPs are going to lose two-strokes and Foggy celebrates his 36th (40th!) birthday
