First come first served between @matoxley and @denkmit as to whom I send this first issue to. It’s full of informative stories and some lovely images. Don’t delay you two, you know you want it 😁

Watching MotoGP in a Canarian Irish bar (just for you @denkmit) with @birtymotogp’s commentary through the phone and drinking a cold beer. Does it get much better? 😊

Kevin Keegan was my hero as a kid, the 1st player that made me want his replica boots, I still have the box, but boots & tiny footballing talent I had have long gone, but not my respect for the only player to have captained & managed England on a permanent basis. RIP King Kev

I was fortunate to spend 3 days @DoningtonParkUK for the @WorldSBK It was a great weekend, but I must send praise to @mhillofficial He does an amazing job with the paddock show & to witness him commentating on @TomBoothAmos’s victories with Tom’s mum watching was very special

I’m in Egypt where my Dad served in WW2. He broke his leg & would tell tales of speeding around the streets as a pillion on a motorbike, his leg in a cast sticking off the side. So a book about bikes & the lead up to 1939 by @matoxley seems an apt metaphor to encapsulate all that

Thanks for Friday night lads, it was great.

Looks like Sam and Alex have got some part-time work coming up 😆

Last sunset and final moon of 2025. I won’t be sad to see it go. Here’s to a happy, healthy and successful 2026. 😊

Adios @CircuitValencia

On the day a Brazilian becomes Moto2 World Champion

The lonely walk back for @PeccoBagnaia

It’s always special to see a new world champion in his one-off race suit

Look who’s here, and no I’m not in there 🤣🤣🤣 great to see the @Michelin_Sport Man at Valencia

It’s a chrome look for @alexmarquez73 at Valencia, but who did it better?

Feels like home, smells like happiness 😊

It’s good to be back in the paddock 😊

Good to see the EES is working well at Valencia 😆

If I sent Christmas cards, these would be on my list to post. Great designs and a fantastic cause. 😊

Nothing says farewell to a dearly, departed, loved one than a floral tribute of a highly caffeinated fizzy drink 😆
