**** Latest News ****
July 2002 - I just got my first cheque for £11.41 from Amazon!! Yippee!

"But I'm an American" you say, I don't want to buy stuff in English pounds! Well OK then, buy from Amazon.com and pay in dollars! I will soon have a proper link up here with all the books I recommend below. However, in the meantine, click on the Amazon .com link and do a book search.

	'Suzuki Two-Strokes' by Roy Bacon. Osprey Publishers. This is a really handy, and very interesting book containing the story of early Suzuki's (1952 - 1979). There are lots of facts, details and pictures right from the postwar period, right up until the end of the T and GT model bikes. Motorcross, Road Racing and the rotary engined RE5 are all covered. A superb book - I answer loads of Email questions using this book! A 'must buy' for all Suzuki fans.
	Tuning for Speed by Phil Irving. This book first appeared in 1948 and since then has been the bible for anyone, amateur or profesional, seriously interested in boosting engine efficiency. The fifth edition came out in 1969, followed by this, the sixth edition (1987). Nearly all the bikes featured are British bikes, but there is a section on tuning two-stokes. Not fully relevant if you are only interested in T20s, but a fantastic and fascinating read, of interest to all bike owners. A 'must buy' for all you 'petrol-heads' out there.
	A Twist of the Wrist II by Keith Code. So you think you know how to ride a bike? I did until I read this book. Keith Code has raced bikes for years, from local races right up to GP level, and now runs the California Superbike School. You can ride safer AND faster using tips in this book. e.g. You go too fast into a bend and are leaning over as much as you dare when the curve tightens up a little more. What do you do? If you're not sure and think that this situation could happen to you - get buying!!!

	'Suzuki service repair manual - 125-500cc twins 1964-1974'. Clymer publications. This is a really good Clymer manual packed full of useful information. It is out of print but it is well worth searching around for. (mail me - I now stock these...)
	'Suzuki 250 & 350 twins 1966-1978'. Haynes Publishing. ISBN 0 85696 506 5. Service information for T20's is given although the bike stripped down for the pictures is a T250. It was out of print, although Haynes are republishing many 'classic' manuals. (mail me - I now stock these...)
	'The Vintage Motorcyclists Workshop' by Radco. Haynes Publishing. ISBN 0-85429-472-4. Although, as the title suggests, this book is aimed at Vintage bikes, the information it provides can come in very useful. If you think restoration work is a long thankless task, read this for inspiration!

What a great way to have a days's racing - at a SOC Track Day event. I thrashed my Ducati 916 round Rockingham race circuit, cornering faster than I ever have before.

You don't need a Suzuki or a Sports bike, just a desire for fun. The events are run by an ex London Despatch rider

Join the Classic Racing Motorcycle Club if you want to race your old bike. C.R.M.C race meetings are great fun so go along and watch the action.

If you want your T20 racer to last a season, an Ian Ambler 4-Bearing crankshaft conversion is a must! As he says about his work, "I think my best achievement was 3 of my cranks in the first 5 one year at the Manx" - Not bad!

A really good site for your racing goodies (eg levers, clip-ons, racing hubs, mudguards, tools - you name it) is Disco Volante Moto. An odd name, but a great place - plus 10% discount to all us race guys!

For your Racing Carburettors, spares, cables, manifolds, jetting, whatever, check out Allens Performance. They supply everthing you need, and give advice on jetting.... A great place.

This is an excellent site. M3 Racing take the sport seriously! Bikes, spares, info - the lot! Check it out.

See what a T20 racer can look like and order you building supplies at the same time!

For great photographs of your races or other sporting events try the services of Sport-Pics. I had a look at the excellent pictures on their website and saw a lovely picture of myself at Lydden. Very nice!
