Thanks for watching, and your kind words

All the very best for 2024 please keep us all informed with BSB

Dave, what an awesome resume! . . Really looking forward to this coming season, and of course your videos! . I have a feeling it’s going to be a big one for the boy and the whole team. Franco always looked more comfortable with you guy’s behind him. . Keep up the great work!

16k raised. Bloody good effort Dave. Look forward to 2024 see how franco gets on.

Love the SP1 Mine is all angry at me in the shed. It doesn't understand Winter and Snowy Roads! Ps. Great Vids Mate!

Hi Dave……many thanks for the wonderful videos you have brought us in 2023, it’s been varied , informative and full of humour, your TT achievements is one not to be sniffed at…..and Franco is going to be one to watch again in BSB in 2024….Thankyou 👍👌🇮🇲

Great content, and well done for all your achievements personally at the TT, and with the team in bsb. The Deauville run deserves much praise and for such a good cause too. All the best in 24 Dave!

Thank you Dave for sharing your biking life. The amount of different topics you cover is amazing! How you fit it all in just amazes me! You bring so much pleasure to so many people. Looking forward to more next year. Oh! And if a random bloke comes up to you at a bsb round and insists on shaking your hand, that will be me. 😊

Happy New Year Dave, thanks for all the great vlogs. Looking forward to following the team in BSB in 24, I want to wish all of you a safe and successful season.

Ordered one of your bobble hats, came super quick and top quality with the added bonus of 2 free sticker which made my day. Some very interesting geeky figures there 👍🏻 Hope the team and yourself have a fantastic 2024.

Dave, best wishes for 2024.

Thank you for the videos this year, Dave. I follow the TT as well, and the last two years have been emotional to be sure. I hope Bonneville goes well. I had the chance to see Burt Munro's Indian at the museum in Sturgis, SD, and as a self wrenching motorcycle guy, very thrilling to see the bike Burt handbuilt. Here's to a great 2024!

Hi Dave. Congratulations on a superb 2023 and thank you for sharing so much of it with us on your channel. Very best of luck for 2024👍

Bravo Dave, respect from the west coast of US.

It's great to hear you'll be taking it easy over the next 12 months! 😄 Anyhoo, here's to you having an exciting season ahead; and I'm very much looking forward to joining you again for the ride. Best wishes Dave - and thanks for sharing your expertise with us on the outside. Happy 2024! 👍

Fantastic inside look into all things motorbikes, from TT to BSB to bike maintenance and awesome to see Franco develop. 158 mph on open road on the IOM !! Serious pilot mate. 👍🏻

Great year for u and Franco and everyone on the team. Can’t wait to see 2024.

Nice vid Dave, hopefully we still get to see you at NG every now and then.

Another great video, looking forward to lots more; it takes a lot of time putting them together but believe me, it's appreciated and enables those who can't get to as many meetings as one would wish to keep updated with what is happeening. However, TT is already booked so, see you there and have a bucket ready for a bit more cash.

Happy New Year to you also Dave, and thanks for all the entertaining and educational videos in 2023. Here's to 2024. Colin (Novarally on the PB Forum)

Nice to see Franco in BSB but I would of loved to see if he would of won the superstock title.

Thanks for the Vlogs. Great viewing. Looking forward to your BSB story. Franco is one to watch

Excellent New Year to all 🍰🍻

All the best for 2024

Thanks Dave. Top notch, bobble hat is also AWESOME.

Best wishes Dave !!!

Thank you Dave for all the news and pleasure you have given us this year. Really looking forward to 2024 and more exciting and informative videos from you here on KZread. Nothing beats “motorbike fun” and it really is when you and you crew are around. You guys are the best and I wish you all good luck for next season. Happy New Year to you all 🤞it’s your best ever

Hats off to you Dave you have accomplished so much since your debut in 2007 at the TT than anyone would hope too. Good luck with the team this year in BSB and all of your projects can’t wait to see you start on the SP1 I myself bought a 2002 SP2 in November and have been working on it.

Thanks for all the content Dave. Been a great year for updates on KZread. All the best for 2024 and if you need a rider for the TT, I'll happily do it. Im sure i could lap at 30mph 😂😂😂😂 When that SP1 is finished, and if you decide to sell it. Please let me know

Happy New Year Dave.Thanks for all the content this year .I appreciate all the effort and time you put Into doing this for us all.

And the same to you David and all the very best to what do you get up to in 24

Happy new year 👍

A good review of a great year for you personally & the team. Only sad point was the vid you did from the TT, when you emotionally told us your riding there was over. I felt gutted for you because it’s obvious how much it means to you, but it takes a brave & clear thinking person to make the decision you did. On a brighter note the racing side has been phenomenal. If Franco keeps on improving, with luck getting a ride to equal his potential, he could become a successful top racer, fingers crossed. Looking forward to the racing & workshop stuff that you will do this year. Cheers.

Get them pipes fixed

Your videos are always very informative and straight forward, makes a refreshing change. I went to my first TT (courtesy of she who should be obeyed) at the age of 60. This year will be my 11th and looking forward to race week. Not taking the bike this year, as the journeys up and back in 23 were horrendous (thanks M6 roadworks), and the old bones are begining to object. Look forward to the 2024 season, especially Olivers Mount, where I will be providing immoral support to my nephew (Joey Lambden #3) and hoping he does not have another engine blow out (another costly story).

0:40 ahhh so in the cold light of day that actually is you finished racing the TT. Always better to follow your gut. I said hi in the paddock at the end of the fortnight and i heard you retired but thought it was mechanical or injury and didn’t realise why. I felt a bit stupid saying to you i thought you had a good TT but you were doing well up to that point. Also i just rewatched TT3D recently and noticed a familiar face towards the end 😄 Love the channel mate, love the SP1, keep up the good work ✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼 happy new year

Lovely round up of the year! So much motorbike fun you have shared with us this year, thank you. And I am really looking forward to next year's content. Will miss following your TT exploits but sounds like we will get a good deal of interesting content anyway. Still promising myself that Rapid course next year but first I have to plan and cost my "just do it!" trip in the USA you told me to do.😉 Happy New Year to you and yours.

Thanks for a great year Wavey, it’s been brilliant following your channel. When you said you were a bit of a geek and you were gonna give us some TT facts and figures, I thought “Oh goody, he’s going to tell us how many tyres he used, how many brake pads he used, and how many litres of fuel he used at the TT.” But I guess you aren’t THAT much of a geek. So I’ll apologise, for me being, THAT much of a geek!! Maybe in another video? 😂 I imagine it will be quite satisfying for you to sit there and list all the consumables for the TT, then add it all up and tell us how much it cost. While it dawns on you, the amount of fun you could have had if you spent that money on hookers and blow instead. Then come back to reality by saying, “Nah, the TT is miles better!” 😊

Happy New Year Dave. Thanks for all the videos this past year, they are so enjoyable. Here's to a successful 2024 at the BSB and for a probably more stressful TT not doing the riding than when you were! Talking TT, I was wondering if you know (of course you do!) what your theoretical best ever time would be with your best ever splits from every timed lap you ever did?
