Thanks for all the kind words.

I have received lots of great 5-star reviews of the Inside Line book on Trustpilot. Each and every one is heartwarming. However, this one was posted this week and I thought I’d share it. I find it incredibly rewarding that someone has taken the time to write such nice things about my work.

When I wrote The Inside Line I really tried my hardest to make it the very best motocross book that I possibly could. When a reader posts such a complimentary review it’s nice to know that my efforts were all worthwhile.

Hey Rob, I still haven’t received that £100 in my PayPal account you promised me for writing that review Laughing

All jokes aside, I bought the book when it first came out, the pictures & the stories are incredible, especially the charter about Namur. Highly recommend everyone buying this book.

This is the factory Kawasaki KX500SR that I raced in the 1986 500cc world championship. It’s recently been restored by a collector and he has sent me a bunch of photos. It's so nice to see this bike again after 36 years! I’ll post up some more pictures in due course.

It was awesome to have the opportunity to race a full factory 500. However, it had its issues. The clutch would get hot when the gate dropped, expand the plates and engage itself of its own accord on the start. Plus the cool works triple clamps bent in the smallest of crashes.

If you you want to know what it was really like to race a works bike in the 500cc world motocross championship, it’s all detailed (with no punches pulled!) in my book, ‘The Inside Line: Racing the 500cc World Motocross Championship’.

Morning Vital people.

Just to say that next weekend I’ll be over in the US at the Motocross Revival at Glen Helen on Sunday 15th. If you’ve fancied a copy of the Inside Line book but never got around to ordering then here’s your chance to buy a signed copy without the costs of international shipping.

There’s also a chance that I may even be doing a couple of laps. They are planning to have a selection of epic 1980’s factory bikes, including Bailey’s RC500. They are also hoping to get the Kawasaki KX500SR and if that comes through I’ve been asked to ride that in the demonstration. That’d be great so fingers crossed.

Come say hello anyway.

Rob

An addition to most Moto Libraries, as well as Robs book, should be Bryan Wades "A Wild Ride".

Rob describes him as one of his Mentors. What a Mentor he would have been!

Bryan raced over, I think, 3 decades. I'm sure I read reports with him racing in the 60s, 70s, and 80s.

A real 'Journey Man' Racer that was at the front end for an amazingly long time.

I finally was able to get 'A Wild Ride' recently, and it looks to be quite the read - it's up shortly on my reading list. I go somewhat ape with Book Buying after New Years, spending Thousands on books, (heck, The Motion Pro published Honda Flat Track book ended up costing just on $493.00 AUD, with over $90 freight charges for quick delivery) each year. I was not able to get a Hardcover version of Bryans book, which is a bummer - soft covers are a bit delicate in my Bear Paws.

Just a heads-up for any American friends… 

If you’ve been thinking about buying a copy of ‘The Inside Line book’, and are going to Glen Helen this coming weekend for the World Vets race, I’ll be there myself.  So, PM me if you’d like me to take a copy for you.  Then you can get your own personally signed and dedicated book without having to pay for shipping!
