Jamie Whitham Column - Nov 2006

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

In preparation for his race with Niall Mackenzie this month, James jumps back on some extremely quick racebikes in Spain and gives himself a bit of a scare...
on the return journey. This time I got to do three 20 minute track sessions aboard three front-running bikes from this years WSS championship. Fabien Foret's Gil motorsport Kawasaki, Robin Harms' Stiggy Honda, and the series-leading Hanspree Honda of Sofuoglu

It was a case of see no Evil, hear no Evil in Southern France, but for our James Whitham Evil took its revenge only days later
IT'S NOT BEEN A GOOD MONTH for us at TWO. First up Evil Jim (Bowen) had a fairly lucky escape in the 1000s test in the south of France when he slithered off the ZX-10R. We were doing some photos on a stretch of mountain road above Montpellier

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
to have gone along to. One such event was an 'over-forties and twin shock' motocross meeting in Lancashire. Foggy and all his mates entered the over-forties race, and Stalker (Chris Walker) had a run out in the twin shock race on his mint 1979 KX250

Yorkshire’s premier amateur light aircraft pilot enjoys a day out (in Yorkshire) with some professional sportsmen, then gets punched on the nose by his own aeroplane
of breakthroughs last season after which Jonathan pushed at the front most races and looks to start 2010 the same way. Another man with a distinct shot at the title in my opinion is Leon Haslam. After a year working minor miracles on a very private Honda run

GPs are going to lose two-strokes and Foggy celebrates his 36th (40th!) birthday
now are just amazing. I'm a motorbike person but the new scoots are brilliant. But the weather is usually the problem in this country.On a different subject, I can't believe that people are even questioning whether or not Superbikes have to go 1,000cc
