Cheers Kev, now get back to those pipes!
Hang in there Dave and team and keep up the hard work. It's going to pay off soon!
Excellent documentary of racing “right now”. Thank you 👍
I really look forward to these videos. Such an unlucky weekend. Could easily have been three finishes in the points. Got to take the positives though, good pace, on the grid between two factory Honda's for the first race and when you consider how stacked with talent the field is twelfth is a cracking finish.
Well done guys, lots of interesting stuff to see. My jaw dropped at the end when the bike failed ☹️. Defo some good races to come this year and I cant wait to see you guys have a win 🏍💨🏍💨🏍💨
Ha ha, I love it, "we'll make sure you've not nicked anything and job sorted" I love how Franco is really developing and coming along in the full BSB, I think he had the potential to go on to win the superstock championship and I was bit taken aback when he went full into BSB but having watched him hone his craft he is really coming along, great stuff, onwards and upwards.
Keep your heads up. The luck will change
Thanks for the time and effort put into making these vids. 👍👍👍
Fast rider, fast bike and a great team, no-one said it would be easy, keep chipping away
Brilliant to hear so much detail. Thank you
Chin up guys you’ve got this. There was some improvements so onwards and upwards. All the best for the next round 👍
Another excellent vlog, thanks Dave. The epic team effort and Franco's obvious talent will pay off. You've got me interested in BSB again after a long lay-off 👍

Top 10's & podiums are coming, for sure. Keep er lit..!
It will come just keep doing what you’re doing 👍
Well done good times are coming guys just got to belive.
Thank you Dave for another mail biter! It’s sucks but anything great takes time. You guys are doing great keep it up you guys will be on the big trophy box in no time! Hope all is well with you Cheers from sunny, hot, and windy California!
Evening Dave……tough weekend, the boy was going so damn well…..roll on Knockhill, hope to say hi at TT…👍👌🇮🇲
Great video Dave, top tens and more are coming, I’ll be at snetterton and brands hoping to see more points.
Great stuff Dave and team, keep going forward and plugging on, it WILL come n time . Scotland next
THANK YOU. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK 🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲
Brilliant coverage. Racing is definitely character building. I have every confidence you'll get there. Better luck for the rest of the season.
Excellent video. Too bad about the mechanicals 😮💨 but it was nice to see Franco starting to move up 😉
These vlogs are priceless. Thank you. Was really pleased for you all after the first race results and the obvious potential. Just made the Sunday stuff all the more gutting. Still. Head down, bum up, the potential is so obviously there for some top tens and more. Expect to be trackside at Knockhill and would love to see that. Plus, looking forward to your TT content as that was how I first came across your channel.
Have a pint still great work keep her lit
Soon the stars should aline. Postmortem vid would be nice for the more mechanically minded, even if it's just a quick talk through. Franco seems upbeat, even with the set backs. He can see things improving and not stuck in a rut. Have fun at TT. 👍
Another great vid Dave , keep them coming 👍
Another great video.
Thank you for bringing us this. Amazing job.
Cool.
Massive respect Dave. My first bsb race from Australia. Can’t believe the level of professionalism at BSB. But why do you guys keep having minor failures? Such a tough season

For the first time this season a relatively smooth and trouble free practice & qualifying. Good points in race one, roll on Sunday and then....what has the team done to deserve such s### luck? Serious promise though. Enjoy TT those that are going. We'll see you at Knockhill, hopefully with sunshine and good luck for a change. Just remember you are top guys in a crackin team. 👍🤞
Unlucky for Franco, he really did look unhappy when it broke

Can't fault him for being frustrated, shows how much it means
I am beginning to think that these motorbikes are getting a bit complicated. Keep up the good work, prizes will surely follow.

They certainly are. Anything non standard just adds complexity
He seems pretty mature. great lad.
Such a shame about the issues on Sunday after such a good day on Saturday.
These videos are great - Its not easy is it - but if it was easy there wouldn’t be any point to it
Good effort by Franco, someone should take him to get a decent haircut to celebrate
I need to come up with something else i think. Cracking insight yet again.
Hey Dave how does it feel to be famous now,I saw you on Motorcycle News?!?

@@obsession_engineering Dave, the crappy little Bugatti circuit they use for bikes at Le Mans is pretty much the same length as Oulton International ( as its called these days ) . Once upon a time bikes ran on the real circuit at Le Mans as still used by the cars but that stopped after Sid Mizen from the IOM died on the Mulsanne Straight in 1966
Keep plugging away its got to get bettet. Thanks for taking me along
All those decades I wasted not realising that I just needed to raise the C of G to make my bikse turn quicker (7.03 - I'm listening carefully and still learning)! Oh! hang on a min! I'm confused! A full tank of fuel never helped. I dropped it in the bend and it didn't want to stand back up again! I've obviously done something wrong appart from failing to notice the nail that had reduced my rear tire pressure down to 5 P.S.I.

Could be more to do with track width, run off and spectator space. I reckon Le Mans is a bit of a different circuit, closer to Silverstone, though as Karting tracks go, Oulton had nothing on Whilton Mill!

I do think so! I’ve heard other riders with experience of gp circuits say the same thing. Monsters like Le Mans or Misano swallow superbikes and make some UK circuits, where you won’t hit top gear, feel like car parks.

Le Mans Bugatti, not even the full circuit, but the Mickey Mouse circuit (according to Graham Hill in 1967) around the car parks and has got even worse, if that was possible, in the intervening 57 years . Oulton not great with all of the chicanes but still a proper circuit for proper riders.
North west content soon?
