I ride a standard BMW S1000RR as my ‘on track’ coaching bike with the electronic DDC suspension. Lots of people ask about my settings for riding such a standard bike on track. page.ringpin.com/no1bloke @BMWMotorrad @RatMally #bikelife #motorcycle #motorbike #coach #track

Airflow. Talk to me. Slipstream. Turbulence. Aerodynamics. Dirty air. Buffeting. Innovation. Blue sky thinking. Motorcycle design. Forget wings. Think progress. Introducing the @WhiteMCltd WMC Mono RR #motorcycle #bikelife #evolution #motorbike #motorsport #innovation #design

I think the future of aerodynamics isn’t just cutting through air, it’s rethinking the bike itself ⚡🏍️ WMC Mono RR @WhiteMCltd air flows straight through the bike. Less resistance. More imagination. Could this be the future of performance? 👀 #motorcycle #design #whitemcltd

Illustration of what happens when @GBRacingEU British-made crash protection used worldwide by riders actually does what it’s supposed to. More than pays for itself should you ever need it, savings in a crash easily outweigh the fitting cost. Invaluable kit. Thanks @AcklamsBeta

Just get yourself the best equipment, then you’ll have confidence that it’s going to do the job; fitting @GBRacingEU spindle protectors. Thanks @AcklamsBeta for the use of the workshop. @BMWMotorrad #tracklife #bikelife #motorcycle #s1000rr #bmw #gbracingeu #protection #quality

After qualifying on pole and winning the first race, everything was looking fantastic. I lined up for the next race full of confidence, ready to continue the weekend’s strong form; but motorcycle racing can change that in an instant 😏 #bikelife @araihelmetjapan @HeldBikeGear

How wet is too wet? 🌧️🏍️ | supermono motorcycle qualifying in the rain - scary, but fun! "Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain." @HeldBikeGear #bikelife #lifeontrack #poleposition #motorcycle @WIZRACING #motor @araihelmetjapan

Anglesey Supermono we almost got on track for practice, but a sidecar issue in the previous practice has resulted in circuit contamination, not good in the rain 😳 @HeldBikeGear @WIZRACING @RatMally #competition #bikelife #racing #supermono #araieu
