High spirits at Assen mean the team pulls together when Whit destroys his rental car. Again.

Cross-dressing, young men in Lycra and geezas with porn star 'taches - yep, just a typical month in the life of TWO test rider and racing legend James Whitham
going 20 years ago and it was mint, loads of shouting, loads of throwing stuff. Not now, it's all health and safety and political correctness. It was shit, we only stood it till half time, then we bailed and went out for a drink in town. It was always

This month, road test show-off and racing legend James Whitham drives a dumper, recounts tales of derring-do from BBC commentator Barry Nutley, and encounters a very nervous Foggy
piston. So a piece of rope was procured and off our intrepid duo set, over the roof of Europe, Barry on his Vespa towing his mate on the stricken Lambretta. In the first Italian town they reached the engine was stripped and a teeny problem discovered

Mr Whitham makes the trek down from ‘Uddersfield to London to not win a literary prize for his fine book, and is completely aghast at the price Southerners pay for a cab ride...
, he wouldn’t have got away with it in Huddersfield! In the same way that during the war, if captured, it was every officers duty to try and escape, if you were coming home after an alcohol fuelled night out in town and you thought the cab driver

Tidy, small enough to park in a multi-storey and cheap – what’s not to like about Whit’s new van? Oh, the gearbox. Reminds him of an unhappy adventure on a Ural...
Like pretty much everyone else at the moment, here in the Whitham household we’re trying to tighten our belts a bit and save some money.And although saving money goes against all she’s ever stood for, Andrea came up with a plan to cut back

This month James remembers a hideous experience where he ground away the skin from his arse cheeks after taking some ‘helpful’ advice involving a tub of vaseline
alongside the other 1,099 psychopaths the next day I had enough petroleum jelly smeared around my nether regions to power a small town for a month. It might have worked too, if it hadn’t been for one small thing. Unfortunately for me, Jem, who was a world

This month James becomes the brunt of a Steve Parrish ‘Joke’ as well as discovering the limitations of a 6-volt lighting system during a terrfying 40mph ride home
...mine.The Dave Jefferies memorial fund annual dinner takes place in the Jefferies’ home town of Bradford, and is pretty much a who’s who of British road racing and the motorcycle industry in general. I’d been invited but because of a date clash I was away

He moans. He goes to the shops. He breaks eggs to make an omelette. He meets famous people. He is James Whitham and he invites you to enjoy a Pennine winter
how bad it was and generally show off a bit. The whole town was solid with traffic, the only other vehicles I saw that were moving were a couple of blokes on farm-type quads, but they were finding it a lot more difficult than me to get through

An insight into the non-stop world of Whit. Don't mention his RD350LC
Barratt home then new doors are fine, but our place is 250 years old and you have to take your time. I know it's a bit anoraky, but I love it. Talking about anoraks, I got a letter through the other day, simply addressed to 'James Whitham, Bike Racer

Jamie learns this month that you just can't surprise your missus
she wanted. There is a little one-off jewellery shop in town, which is not like your Beaverbrooks or anything. You have to ring a bell to even get into the place. So Andrea's been in there, seen the ring she wants, and asked the shop to save the thing
