That is unfortunate, but I hope he feels better soon.

Tough weekend, keep going boys! Great to be able to come along for the ride!! 💪

Tony, I have found that very few things are now worth the hassle. Is that planned, I don't know......

At this level of racing, it just seems so complicated & stressful behind the scenes. The team are working so hard with little reward. Fingers crossed the season smooths out for the team.

It's a long season and I'm sure things will get back on course. All the best to the team.

Absolutely brilliant insight Dave! Determined young lad Franco is most definitely. Feel for him but rider safety is paramount! Matt, Dave, Pete & yourself are digging deep, constantly learning, never giving up & have a red hot go at giving Franco the weapon to do his utmost. Level headed lad. Better days coupled with strong performances will redeem the struggles. Everyone deserves that. Thanks again Dave for making this real for your supporters. Keep your chin up high & keep fighting.

Hope Franco has fully recovered. Good call not sticking him out. This weekend should be a good one. All the best. 👍

Thanks Dave.Thats so involved,appreciate the effort you go to produce this for us,and all the work from the team.Good luck at Donny

Nice video. Funny you have to watch your morning noise due to a church. When I raced in the late 80's into the 90's one of the tracks I raced at "Shannonville motorsports park" in Ontario Canada had a church right beside the track. So we couldn't start our GP bike until 11 am but the vintage class bikes, Norton's triumphs etc with megaphone exhaust could be run, revving the snot out of them with no complaints. I guess God doesn't like 2 strokes 🤣

The most valuable experience is always the toughest to get, keep going strong.

A brilliant and honest insight into the trials and tribulations of competing in top level racing. Good luck for Donington 💪

These videos are great - shows just how hard it all is - will be shouting at the telly for you at the next meeting

THANK GOD FOR THAT. Good old British humour. Great series of videos. Fingers crossed for a better result next time around.

About the late start yeah that was funny

Nothing worth having is ever easy, bad luck is like waiting for the number 10 bus, none arrive then several turn up at the same time. All the best for Donnington.

All this hard work you boys are putting in will most defiantly reward success!!

Hi Dave……hope the luck improves, you guys need a bit of it after recent rounds….all the best to Franco going forward…👍👌🇮🇲

All these niggles that your team are having to deal with, it’s really good of you to share as most of us don’t get to see or even hear what’s going on in the background. Really interesting Dave and thanks to you and all the team and better luck next round ..

Another stunning video Dave well done and Franco will come good we all know that x

Interesting setup with needle rollers and thrust washer for the headstock, never knew that. Great find on the shifter, keep chipping 🔨the cream always rises 💪

Hi Dave love the channel I learn some thing with every video have a great season good luck 🤞

.love it its so honest

Excellent motorbike fun! Even if it was full of mini disasters. Shame and hoping for better for you all next time out. Love the sense of excitement and thrill for those supporting the rider that comes over in the video. Round of applause for all those that graft to make the whole thing work.👏 Bit of lack of biscuits though; might that be the root of all the troubles...?

Guys wishing you well. Onwards to the next one. Keep the hard work as will definitely pay off.

Good weekend. Your getting there guys, hopefully Franco recovers quickly. And really well done fin, great riding.

Incredibly good honest footage. Spills thrills and humour. ❤️

Love this series! Good luck at Donington. We’ll be there cheering you on 👍

Honda, absolute demon bike, i should know i had one, everything that could go wrong did go wrong. Now engines just keep blowing up. I sponsored tyres for SMT last year at the TT and they had loads of issues with the HRC ECU, just kept on giving up at 2k a pop. Sports getting to technical and deffo to pricey, hence why the arse is falling out of superbike sales. Good luck going forward Dave 🙏🙏🙏

Honda had lots of breakdowns at recent NW200, with their stock bike.....

Great vid Dave. Even with the issues it's great to see the team all pull together for Franco. Hopefully next time out you guy's will have better luck. At least Franco was starting to feel better on the bike. Thanks for the effort you put in to show us what it all entails. Best of luck to the team going forward.

15:55 Smoothest pun ever 😂

Top job Wavey, good decision....see you and the Team at Donny

Look forward to your debriefs, very insightful. Lets hope Donnington comes with the step up you guys all deserve.

Great video again. Also nice to see Jaimie van Sikkelerus on the grid.

Brilliant series. Amazing to see the amount of electronics in play on these bikes. I guess it's made the sport a lot more expensive to compete in. In some ways it seems self defeating for the sport as a long term prospect.

Really enjoying these videos documenting the team’s BSB journey. The electronic stuff is fascinating. Tough luck following Franco’s crash but correct decision to not race. Looking forward to seeing you in person later in the season. 👍

I wasn't really into bsb before these videos but your channel has really got me into it. They are changing my weekends!

Early days. Keep moving forward.

Great level of maturity from the young man and good that you guys support him like you do. Eagerly await the next instalment. Hope Franko is back to full health. Love the banter and style of these videos. Thanks.

Keep going Dave an lads us lads at Pirelli are behind ya , specially gavin an Kev the plumber 👍👍👍

THANK YOU. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK

great video

“I’ve brought Dan a present … and by a present I mean More Work..” I was rolling in the floor 😂

Another tricky weekend Dave, however, it’s all coming together nicely. Franco is obviously a little sore but he’s a fighter and it will only make him more determined I’m sure. Great team spirit, keep focused guy’s, the rewards will definitely come!!

Great video log! keep up the good work! Very fun to follow your progression...And...for the love of baby Jesus: just set up the bike and forget about it ha ha, with all thoose changes it must be like riding a new bike for each session :-)

Love the info. Working through the issues pragmatically is always rewarding. Shame about the crash, but nice to see health came first. 👏

Thank you Dave for another great episode my hat is off to all you for sticking with it it’s a pain in the a$$ but with a new bike unfortunately things happen. I would have already pulled out the SP 2 and try to qualify on that lol but I know it wouldn’t happen or maybe a nice 84 NS500 still looking for one here in the states but that’s a dream of mine. Hope all is well and keep up the hard work and I’m with you no need to put Franco on the bike if he’s not feeling it cuz that can be disastrous. Cheers from sunny and hot California!

Franco would go well on an Sp2... But I'm not letting him ride mine 😂

Dave when you have chatter out of the front end of the bike. Just stick 20/50 Duckhams motor oil in each leg job done.😀

Great video yet again.

thanks for the vid , and you should be the backup rider , come on man a race bike ready to go . Franco will heal he's young they heal fast . Cheers

Big carrot leadership during adversity from the Team Owner. 👍👍 Full geek more please. Steering head Mmmmm..🤔What's Bridewell running?

Another great video

Thank you for the content

Great to be able to see what actually goes on behind the scenes. Love it. Thanks Dave.

Seems like the more complicated the bikes get the more that goes wrong..

The hard work WILL pay off. Great job Dave, on both the video and the bike.

Impressive to get an interview with canelo 🎉

What a weekend. Came back a bit crispy. Only went for the Sunday. Went to Derby on Saturday. Little one is going to Uni there so thought I'll check it out. Then only a short ride Sunday. Seen Saturdays race now. Done well. Was doing well in race 2. Guessing it was hitting or clipping someone/thing avoiding Vic's down, seeing that he was a few bikes ahead. Was the engine blow in race 3 a knock on from that? Have to wait for next weeks vid. Got some extra telly time tho, sure the tank cover took it well. lol . Take care.

I must be psychic, after all that chaos during set up/warm up/quali etc i thought a crash was on the cards,. good work by all the team, but sometimes its not meant to be,. chins up,.cheers,...

Dave you need to run a sweepstake on how long that footpeg will last ..the money raised will help fund repairs to rest of the bike ..

first of all i hope franco is ok second the pathway class has i think three entries not very encourageing why when you were winning in superstock would you go bsb to ride round at the rear of the field it cant be good for a rider to be at the tailend all weekend on a bike getting tweaked as you call it all the time josh owens has gone to superstock and doing well i think franco would win that class if entered just my opinion dave love the videos keep em coming

Do ever you just think, “Let’s go CB500 racing instead” ? One setting and you’re off for the season! 😂

Come on guys talent outweighing the bike, give the lad a chance 😢 another disastrous weekend for the poor lad

I’ve always wondered what has the biggest impact on the race the rider or the software. Is there much difference between the race winning bike and the bike that finishes last

@obsession_engineering

There's so many small details that all add up to a big difference between the bike that's first or last, but saying that, the rider can still make a lot of difference too

😂😂Cripes so many problems - because to much fiddling , flapping about and tinkering can’t believe lucky the kid comes over a a little shit because he not going get anywhere with this circus act 😂😂

I am calling it now Franco gets fired or hurt before race weekend 5 - crashes at 120 MPH and says he isn't bothered which is total bullshit. Get a rider that can finish a race and a practice - also I would leave the bike setup stable changing all the shit and expecting someone to over come all these minor changes seems to be loss if the rider can't finish the race. Having a stable bike that is easier to ride should be the goal, how can we make the bike easier to ride? All this minor bullshit humans are not computers all gear shifting blah blah blah.

Many of the best and fastest riders were used to crashing in their early races. What's important is that they have the raw speed and courage on which to build results as they gain experience.

I love this channel, the best BSB podcast bar none and deserves way more views and likes. Give it some dudes.
