Manx GP 2011

Manx Raiders

All new and last minute news! After last years success at the Post Classic Superbike Junior Race at the 2011 Manx Grand Prix I decided to let Cargo have another go this year. Hopefully we can crack the 135mph barrier maybe, but more likely we can get Cargo his first replica which would be really nice. I'm also going to race the bike myself at the pre TT classic races at Billown. That way I will have finished all the road races on the Island apart from the big one. However I don't want to use the bike up so I managed to pick up a spare RGV which is a little bit special so that will be the main bike for short circuits.

Recently the Manx Government came up with propsals to change the format of the MGP, which frankly are badly thought out and lacking in vision. There is now an online petition asking for the Government to reconsider the proposals and come up with something more agreeable to the participants if you agree then sign the petition HERE.

The Team

I'm Mark, I build and ride the bikes. My wife Jackie is general pit monkey and newly promoted team photographer. Cargo is stand in rider for ridiculous concepts and testing barmat theories.

The bikes

Read all about my original RGV (Regina is her official name, not my idea) in the blog. There is also a photo album of the RGV build, and Jackie has done a fantastic job of photo journalist so there is a picture record of the fortnight here. I also now have a second possibly faster RGV which we have nicknamed Rasputin, this years tales of daring and stupidity are on this page.
