There will be a lot of races on this weekend, grab a copy of tmx, sold at most news agents and petrol stations etc, there will be a new issue tomorrow, Thursday, it will have 90% of the MX on in the uk this weekend listed in the back.

As for buying a bike, take a chance on eBay etc but be careful.... Look for the obvious, frame/engine number ground off (prob stolen). Chain hanging on the floor and rusted bolts (done a beach race or two).
Four strokes that won't start in 3/4 kicks (ready for an expensive service/rebuild).
You might be better at a dealer, your copy of tmx will point you in the right direction of most of the bigger ones.

I love Dorset and try and head down there whenever possible. Stunning countryside and some great snorkelling/diving locations. I'm stuck in East Anglia (Norfolk).

Some of the boys pretty bloody quick as well Bradley smith is the fastest Redding and Camier right up there Davies really smooth but really quick on supermoto McPhee lowes brothers, laverty brothers and Haslam all go well
It's good fun .the fastest of the Moto Gp boys would be Marquez and jack Miller , Miller is a quick as the MXGP boys and fuck can he whip

yes i ride with Scott Redding , Bradley Smith , Jack Miller , Laverty and Marc Marquez has been there a few times while we were there .

Jack Miller could ride MXGP he is very quick , Marquez and Smith can run with top Spanish MX riders

here is a pic i took of Jack Miller at Sant Celoni , there was a group of us riding together at bel puige when he broke his leg , Jack Miller , Scott Redding , Leon Camier , Chaz Davies , Micheal Laverty , John McPhee { moto 3 } Freddy Lindgren { world speedway } i think that was it :-}}

I'm from southampton, a good place for beginners thats close to you would be rogershill raceway (bere regis). As someone mentioned pick up a TMX they advertise in there when they are open as its not every weekend but there will be a mobile number you can call.
