John McLain rides out to Assen...

Last week 11 riders braved the trip to the Netherlands for the British Superbike round, at the TT Circuit in Assen. One of them was our very own John McLain from Phoenix Honda Grangemouth.

The weather was fine, although it could have been better, but it allowed us to endure the long ride through the UK to Hull safely. Then onto rotterdam to catch the overnight ferry. 

With hundreds of bikes on the boat, John was the only one to get breathalised as they were leaving! It goes without saying that he passed...

After leaving the ferry at Rotterdam, the rest of the journey was quick and straight, led by John and Graham from Honda UK. As usual, the hospitality was fantastic with great food and another amazing tour around the garage.

With the night closing in, it was time for a BBQ at 'Camp Yippy' with lots of refreshments and the new chef doing a great job with the pink BBQ... 

The race itself was edge of the seat stuff... The team are really looking forward to the final round down at Brands Hatch on 18th october.

There will be camping and a BBQ with some truly fantastic people, unfortunately for time for the last time this year.

Win a VIP weekend in Belgium for the Motocross des Nations

To celebrate the launch of the CRF250L, we’re giving you and a partner the chance to win a VIP weekend in Belgium.

Fly out and arrive just in time for a meal in the luxury surroundings of your stunning 4* hotel, where you’ll spend two nights relaxing in style. You’ll also enjoy an unforgettable VIP package, watching the thrilling Motocross des Nations at the famous Lommel circuit.

The Motocross des Nations is an annual team motocross race, where riders representing their country meet at what is billed as the "Olympics of Motocross". The event has been staged since 1947, where the team of Bill Nicholson, Fred Rist and Bob Ray, representing Great Britain, took home the Chamberlain Trophy for the first time.

The event as it stands today is an amalgamation of three separate events, the original Motocross des Nations, raced with 500cc motorcycles, the Trophée des Nations, raced with 250cc motorcycles, and the Coupe des Nations, for 125cc motorcycles. Before 1984, the three events were held in different locations on different weekends, whereafter they were combined into a single event with one rider per class.

You MUST be aged 18 years or older, and hold a valid licence to ride a CRF250L to enter into the competition.

Phoenix rise to the challenge...

It's 08.30 on a damp Tuesday morning and here I am standing in the lush surroundings of Glenbervie golf course ready to make the Phoenix rise once again!

It is that time of year when the rotary club have their annual charity golf event that we have won before and are determined to do so again.

Fuelled by a bacon butty and coffee, we are ready for the challenge!

Then “BOOM” the rain stops, the shotgun fires and the sparks fly off the first tee...

Here we go!

Right from the off the team gelled and we knew we were going to mount a serious challenge each of us holding our own and then to our amazement Robert Gillespie scores a one at the par three, we are on a roll! Then captain fantastic (ME) got an eagle on a par four!!! We are now flying and know we are in with a right good chance of taking the trophy.

The round ends we tally up our scores and have all played a monumental part in the event.

The awards ceremony begins and in traditional style 3rd place is announced and it isn’t us, 2nd place is announced and again no Phoenix. We are anxiously awaiting to find out who is victorious.

Then the words “in first place and this years champions are.... Team Phoenix Honda” is announced to a rapturous applause by the other 17 participating teams.

Champions again so roll on next year! (No pressure for the future triple winners)

Ride out and Treasure Hunt...

Last Sunday morning at Phoenix Honda Grangemouth we set off for a ride out with a twist. Our route was based on an exciting treasure hunt, with prizes and clues hiding at every location.

We set off from our Grangemouth showroom and headed up to Creiff, Loch Earn and finished off in Callander.

On return to the show room we tucked into some much needed hot food and drinks, where the first lucky 20 bikers booked in for the event received their complimentary neck warmer, mug and lanyard courtesy of Phoenix Motorcycles.

Phoenix Honda Bikes road trip to Oulton Park

Saturday 16th July Oulton Park British Super Bike Championship Round 7.

John McLain of Phoenix Honda Grangemouth took 20 customers down to Oulton Park and here is what he had to say about it.

Oulton park is situated in Cheshire and is one of the more spectacular circuits of the series, at 06.00, 20 riders set of from phoenix Honda motorcycles here at grangemouth for the 240 mile ride closely followed by the van... or so we thought, torrential rain stopped 7 even getting to the meet up points but fortunately 13 made it although 10 turned up in cars!,

The ride down for Anne and robin fox and myself was to say the least wet, however on reaching the circuit and entering Hondas hospitality suit makes it all worth while, we had lunch with Keith amor, Shane shaky burn, Ryuichi Kiyonari, and the legend that is John McGuiness, after lunch it was a tour of the garage to see the bikes being prepped and onto the pit walk all vip courtesy of Honda and hosted by Fiona Cole who did a fantastic job of keeping us in check and certainly new her stuff !

Then once all done its over to the campsite for a BBQ and refreshment, and the camp party began... Up at 7.00 for more bacon butties and lots of tea and coffee, camp packed and on to the circuit for the days racing, even in the rain it is an awesome circuit with lots of action, the ride home again the heavens opened and did not let up until almost home.

All in all a fantastic weekend, even torrential rain failed to dampen the spirits of the 13 of us that made it.
