@SuffolkGazette Maybe write about the myth that Norfolk is flat next? I’ll take you on a bike ride and show you if you like.

Is there any truth behind the Norfolk inbreed cliché?

@matoxley Just watched this. Great footage of a time not yet forgotten. Could easily be the same surface on most track now I reckon!

And here's a longer docco of the Oulton Transatlantic round in 1977 - watch how King Kenny destroys everyone... until his bike stops. I love these old clips because they're racing social history too - check out the paddock scene at the start! youtube.com/watch?v=tpCEyL…

@Kenny_Pryde Sir, I give you @Enduro21 which has always been digital and free for over 20 years now. Specialist publications work.

@Jonpe23 Imagine. But who'd buy it? To quote US singer Gillian Welch (from 2001 no less): "Everything is free now, That's what they say, Everything I ever done, Gonna give it away..." She knew.

That’s nuts. Reigning champions turning at Rnd1 not ready and aiming at a top 10.

@Kenny_Pryde I mean we could start one. Let’s call it SuperBike or something like that. 🤔

@Jonpe23 I want to know WTF - or, in fact WT *actual* F is going on behind the scenes in WSBK these days. Can you point me at a 'magazine' or account generating that kind of content? (Seriously!)

@WestNorfolkBC Can you turn some attention to the footpath at the end of Queen Elizabeth Ave, heading to the bottom gate at Springwood High? It’s appalling what 1000s (kids and QEH workers) who use that path have to walk through at this time of year.

BEFORE and AFTER photos of the transformation our Public Open Spaces operatives have achieved! The spruce-up focussed on an overgrown section of a walking and cycling route in response to concerns from the community. Well done team! 👏 Read more: bit.ly/4aTAtmI

I thought it was a joke but this really did happen today…

@VinnysCorner1 2025 2011 @OfficialBSB final lap at Brands Hatch? 2025 @SpeedwayGB final? I mean, those two didn’t even need the 3mins. 🤔

Has there ever been a greater 3 minutes in the history of sports??

@matoxley Try Speedway Oxley!

Have rediscovered downhill skiing. If you miss your #MotoGP fix, there’s nothing closer to motorcycle racing than downhill

I turned my computer on at 6am this morning. It’s 22:14 and I just turned it off. No-one cares, I’m sure I’m talking to myself, but Dakar 2026 (plus a bonus SuperEnduro Rnd3) written, images sourced, rider quotes gathered and at least a beer at the end. Over and out. #Dakar2026

And so it begins for #Dakar2026

@autocar It would have been really useful to have some more stats/facts in that test report. Like average speed for example.

Kia PV5 cracks 431 miles with a full payload to take a Guinness World Record - with our man behind the wheel! buff.ly/G92ieRG

I think more amazing that there is a one female and one brown person on the team. Hats off to each. Fantastic for them and the sport. ✊🏼

@R_Replacement No team Poland in Poland ain’t helping.

Is this the most embarrassing crowd for a World Championship event of all time?

@R_Replacement Wait, did a KL rider top score for the old Witches?!? I mean it wasn’t much but ha! Up The Stars. 🌟

Solid night with paid 10 for the Tigers against the Witches tonight. Steady swallowed his pride, Guesty pretended he didn't know me, and Bomber was rubbish. Lovely stuff... An absolute honour to help Ronnie Pickering clinch the REAL Premiership title for his side 🙏🏻

@SpeedwayShamble Maybe the could have a race. On a decent track. To decide who’s fastest? I mean, call me old fashioned.

What a pathetic moment to confirm a world champion. The graphic eventually comes up and he’s interviewed minutes later with it still being said that it needs to be confirmed. Jesus Christ.

@bikesontnt Question for Scotty tonight: what changes do riders make to the bikes in those conditions? Softer engine setting, suspension and different gearing or do they adjust their riding more? #IPSBEL

The captains are locked in as Ipswich Witches attempt to close the distance on Bellevue Aces in the second leg of this semi-final 🔒 #IPSBEL | #BritishSpeedway Live on TNT Sports and Discovery+

@matoxley It begs the question, or rather asks it louder: why didn’t they build a V4 4T sooner? Given their experience in the 80s.

People who say Yamaha are the last manufacturer to run a V4 in MotoGP are wrong. In fact Yamaha were the first, way back in 1982 😎motorsportmagazine.com/articles/motor…

@prodnose @Via Actually, now I look again, Rick Astley and Michael Portillo. Could be a good double act for a new series: Together Forever - the world’s longest train journeys

@prodnose @Via I thought it was Rick Astley I must admit…

Wow. Never realised Max Bygraves mum was a Mrs Doubtfire Garry Shandling. (pic @via woodg31)
