Mike's Endurance - Honda TT Legends

The spare bike in full livery but without an endurance tank.

Welcome to the new part of the website. Unfortunately Phase One Endurance has been unable to secure funding to continue running at the front in the FIM Endurance World Championship and so has agreed to an offer from Honda to join forces, combining their expertise and funding with Phase One expertise and direct experience of Endurance, to form the basis of what is hoped will develop into a World Championship winning team - HONDA TT LEGENDS!.

Is that a nice paint job - or is that a NICE PAINT JOB!

This site is about an insiders perspective from a technical viewpoint so if you want to find out more about the series, tracks, riders, results etc please go to www.fim-live.com. If you want to find out what it's like to dive straight in at the deep end and do something completely different then the Phase One part of Mike's Endurance may be more helpful, if you want to read a blog telling what it is like to be in the pit for one of the top teams in a World Championship throughout its opening season then please read on and explore the site. Be careful though - you may be tempted to give it a go yourself and end up spending lots of money. I accept no responsibility if that happens!

Honda TT Legends at the Darley Moor pre-season pitstop practice test. The season is now finished and we finished 7th in the Endurance World Championship with 2 DNFs and 3 5th places. 5th or bust! The team is now finalising the rider line up for 2012 and making improvements to the motorcycles.

DISCLAIMER
This is not an official website of anybody and the content does not reflect the views or policies of the MoD, the RAF, BAE Systems, Honda, Elf, or even Phase One, just me. Racing motorcycles can be dangerous but they do not form any part of the UK military deterrent or the Defence Industrial Strategy. Everything in here is my copyright unless otherwise stated or it's something about someone in the team that they don't like in which case it was done by an Ex-SAS bloke I know who will be back from body-guarding in Kabul next week and happy to discuss it in the alley behind the Prizefighters Arms in Bristol Docks. All manufacturers logos and trademarks are acknowledged, particularly the ones that show a bit of decent design skill. I'm rather partial to the Fedex one myself (with the arrow hidden in it) but they don't sponsor anyone as far as I know so pretend I didn't mention them. Forget they exist and do not under any circumstances try to find the arrow. The site is censored and welcomes censorship requests from anyone who's paying money that helps make the whole experience possible. I would censor all the bits where something I made broke, but I can't afford it! Roy is never really unhappy, it's just something wrong with my Sony camera that makes him look that way. It also makes Lionel look a little overweight and that's not my fault either. I accept no responsibility for financial liability incurred by anyone who thinks this looks so good he wants to have a go. All reference to the male gender (he, his, him, etc) shall be taken to mean he/she, his/hers, him/her, etc, as appropriate, except where it clearly refers to an image of a transvestite or transsexual in which case you can take it to mean anything you like. The previous sentence should not be taken as an indication that there might or might not be any such people involved in WEC or that anyone would care if there were. All images of scantily clad persons are on the site are there purely to inform what it was like and you won't see anything that wasn't on show in broad public daylight. This is entirely the fault of the site fan who described the site as the only true historical record of what it's really like to be in the WEC. I did not go to bed with them, buy them a drink, slip them a business card or even look lustfully at their chests or wink. Any suggestion that anyone or any company has paid me anything or given me any goods in exchange for preferential coverage on the site is a scurrilous lie. Unfortunately. Please get in contact if you would like to rectify this problem!
