Some very interesting news has just come in regarding the future of Italjet: 16/01/04 UPDATE: First Gallery update of the year and Dragster Gallery Collection 34 is now on-line. In it you will find a cool selection of custom Drags; Tom Speirs' "Knight Rider" soon to be featured in T&G, Daz Blackburn's excellent custom Drag bearing the St. George's cross (paintjob by THAT clown, Mr. Alan Turner). My second Dragster entitled 'FREAK' is featured in this Gallery, paintjob once again by the seemingly ubiquitous Alan Turner. My original Fluoro Orange Dragster is also featured in this Gallery. Anyway, check out the pics. 15/01/04 :
The latest issue (24) of Twist & Go hits the shops today. Alan Turner's 'Delirium' adorns the cover. Content in this issue:
'Custom Scoot Info Special' (written by yours truly) which is hopefully a step in the right direction for those of us who like nothing better than
tuning and customising our machines. In the rest of the mag you'll find: 12/01/04 :
Well, the National Motorcycle Show at the Manchester G-MEX ended yesterday. A successful weekend for Rich Haywood, his first professional
show, the man's a star! I think his 'Jackass' style stuntin' went down really well with the crowd. Can't wait to see the pics, so keep a look out
for my 'Extreme Scootering Part 3' in T&G If you came to the show you will
have also seen my Dragster on display along with Paul Melici's 'Equinox' Runner at the Straightliners / X-Race stand. It was nice for me
to put a few names to faces too. The photo shoot for Loaded magazine
took place yesterday at London's Ace Cafe, by all accounts it went really well, free bar too! A big thanks to everyone who made it to the Ace,
for this, can't wait to see Loaded when it comes out! 05/01/04 :
First of all, I wish you all a HAPPY NEW YEAR! 2003 was quite a good year as far as the development of the auto scene goes despite the
fact that the production of the two-stroke Dragster as we know it has now ceased along with Italjet going down the pan...
In spite of all this though, the Dragster scene has grown stronger and long may it continue... The future's bright, the future's plastic! Anyway, another year and a fresh start. 2004 kicks off with the National Motorcycle Show at the Manchester G-MEX which is lo' and behold,
this weekend! Friday 9th Jan. the show begins. Scooter stunt-meister Rich Haywood will be at the show performing a few tricks in front
of the crowds on Sat. 10th Jan and Sunday 11th. Meanwhile, in the main hall will be an X-Race exhibition space for you to peruse
which will feature the current three fastest scooters in the country
(as per 2003 X-Race results). Regardless of all this X-Race goodness, the show promises to be a good 'un with all of the usual on offer; bikes, laydeez,
clothing, accessories etc. So get yourselves to Manchester this weekend if you haven't got owt else better to do. More X-Race news... Having recently heard back from
Shakespeare County Raceway I've been given the go ahead for holding future
X-Race rounds at this venue which is good news for many of you in the south. However, the dates for X-Race Championship rounds for 2004
have already been set and cannot really be changed since the press releases have now been sent out. However, I am currently considering an
additional non-championship date at Avon Park as follows: |
