After much anticipation, the news was sent out via Manx Radio that Tuesday evening practice would indeed go ahead. The fog was thick all day and flights in and out of the Isle of Man were cancelled, so the team had their doubts when packing the van.

It was a close thing, with the first session out on the start line but being held until they had confirmation from the helicopter that it could operate. It’s not so much the rain or mist on the Island, but whether the rescue helicopter can take off from the mainland and reach the Island to be ready for any incident up on the Mountain.

.

The fog lifted just in time so that the session was sent off two minutes after schedule, but all teams were left holding their breath as that all important siren was only sounded at the last minute.

The team feel they are getting closer to having the Triumph handle but still have a way to go. We managed two laps on both bikes, Royce coming in and jumping off the Triumph and straight onto the Ducati. Being such a monster of a bike to manhandle around the track, it obviously took its toll on Royce’s body.

.

After arriving back to Rowe Racing HQ, he had this to say, “With a couple of changes made to the Triumph, riding the beast around wasn’t as rough and harsh and was a bit easier of the bumps in the fast sections. I had a slight problem with hand grips and gloves, so arm-pump set in for the last half of the second lap which affected times.

“The Ducati felt really nice and I can’t wait to get back out there and start stringing my corners together to clock a better lap. An ice bath this evening wasn’t the most fun I’ve had but all for the cause!”

Royce posted a 115mph lap on the Triumph, which has him 2nd in qualifying in the Junior and 3rd in the Senior so far.

.

He managed a 108mph lap on the Ducati which sees him 5th in the standings.

There were a number of slippery sections on the course so conditions were not ideal, but the weather should improve tomorrow before deteriorating again later in the week.

Given the Classic TT is run in conjunction with the Manx GP, you tend to bump into a few legends of the sport who are there enjoying a historic ride. One such legend, and probably the world’s fastest road racer currently, is Michael Dunlop. He is in town competing in the Classic and like every race he tackles, taking it rather seriously. It was a buzz for Royce to set off on the Triumph at the start alongside him.

Practice was called off Monday evening with steady rain all afternoon. It was a bit of a downer as the bikes had been prepared and loaded in the vans but all we could do was walk around the pits and catch up with people. It’s always a little bit frustrating dealing with intermittent weather on the Island, but having experienced the thick fog on the mountain in the past, it just has to be done for safety’s sake.

PIC: With not much else to do, the team retreated to the O’Kells Tent

.

While walking the pits, Royce caught up with fellow Aussie and TT legend Cam Donald. Cam is competing in the Classic TT, which is run in conjunction with the Manx GP. They both had a good chat and Royce was eager to take on-board any tips from the highly experienced racer.

PIC: Cam Donald will pilot an original 1950 works Norton, the only one in the world, in the Classic TT

In the meantime, we hope the weather improves today (Tuesday) so we can continue work on the Triumph.

Just having the one session on Saturday so far, Royce had this to say about his return to the Isle of Man, “Getting back on the track after such a long period away from road racing was a bit daunting – it felt great to blow out the cobwebs! We have a few things on the Triumph to work on as we were flying blind when setting up the bike for local track use, let alone the Isle of Man course. I have high hopes for the Trumpy and also the Duke.”

We caught up with a mate of ours in the pits, ‘Stockers’, (Colin Stockdale from Whitby Yorkshire, a Classic 500 Honda rider), who has looked out for us over the last few years. He stocked up the pit fridge with some supplies from South Australia to make us feel at home. We think this idea of a ‘pit fridge’ should definitely be adopted for meetings back home.

PIC: We just need Coopers to sponsor our ‘Green Machine’ and the fridge will be forever full!

As mentioned in the last post, all teams signed in before first practice Saturday. It’s all done by officials on computers, checking FIM International Licence, Start Permission and other paperwork. It’s a very well organised and streamlined process.

PIC: Royce signing on for the Manx GP

.

Before the first practice, we were lucky enough to have a visit from photographer Tracey Killey. She runs a Facebook site called Tracey’s Pictures and is out on track every session getting fantastic snaps of all the riders. She’s a great friend of the team and if you’re on The Facebook, have a look at her spectacular work. The shots she got of Royce and the two race bikes at our Ballacain Cottage accommodation came out great!

.

After the long wait all year, it was finally time to hit the start line on Saturday evening for first practice. There unfortunately was an hour and a quarter delay as cars had been left on the road after road closure and they had to get recovery vehicles to remove them when the owners couldn’t be found. One was at the Bungalow and the recovery vehicle got stuck, so a recovery vehicle had to be sent to recover the recovery vehicle.

PIC: Royce about to set off for the first time this year

.

This shortened practice so we only got one lap on the Triumph and two on the Ducati.

 

Practice nearly didn’t start at all as they were short 200 marshalls. A call went out over Manx Radio for help and enough people volunteered including the two Debs from Rowe Racing who were stationed at Ballagarey!

PIC: The two Debs volunteered to marshall during Saturday’s practice

.

The first lap on the Triumph highlighted the lost testing time we had in Australia. The bike was quick – 170mph on our telemetry. The problem is in the handling as Royce is struggling to control it at high speed over the bumpy circuit.

PIC: Royce on board the Triumph during Junior/Senior practice (Credit: Tracey’s Pictures)

.

Even so, on first lap out from a standing start he recorded a 112mph lap. We’ll be working hard to try to improve the handling.

 

The Ducati ran well but traffic was a factor in keeping the times down, with a best lap of 108mph.

.

Sunday was a rest day, with the team heading out for a traditional English roast dinner (lunch). The hope is to be back on track today (Monday) for evening practice but the weather forecast is not favourable. All classes have practice scheduled for each night this week, giving us an opportunity to fine tune both bikes for next week’s races.

 

With Deb Lock now on the Island, snapper Tracey Killey on track and the team’s own roving reporter/tech guru Debbie Rowe on the ground, we’ll have plenty of great pictures to share in the coming weeks.

 

The team spent most of yesterday at a dyno, being helped by ‘Slick’, who works alongside TT Sidecar legend Dave Molyneux. Slick was Carl Fogarty’s mechanic back in the day, so it’s good to know we’re working alongside some extremely experienced individuals. The dyno-tuning went well and the team were able to put some final touches on the bikes which weren’t made in time before crating up.

PIC: Royce Rowe with TT sidecar legend Dave Molyneux at our dyno-tuning session

.

Their workshop is just past Ramsey, a well-known town on the Island. It’s situated on an old World War Two airfield, which is just one of the many World War heritage sites across the IOM. Both Dave and Slick were very friendly and helpful, and the team truly appreciate their assistance. It can be difficult finding your way in a foreign land, but the locals have been nothing but fantastic each year.

 

The team didn’t have much time for anything else, apart from driving all the way to the other end of the Island to see our friend Andy at Ballasalla to get oil. Once again, Andy is just another example of a local who has been super helpful over the years and is part of the reason our team runs like a well-oiled machine… pardon the pun.

Today is sign on day, so the team will busily be attending rider’s briefings and having the bikes/riding gear checked over. Being such a serious race, machines are scrutineered before every session.

PIC: Our top rider enjoying some down time at Ballacain Cottages

.

Practice starts tomorrow (Saturday) but the weather forecast isn’t good, so we may not be able to start. As we have found over the past two years, the inclement weather is impossible to judge and we just have to roll with the punches.

 

Practice will continue in the evenings for the following week, then a final practice session is held on the Monday of race week. The Junior, which Royce will contest onboard the Triumph, is on Wednesday, August 30, at 10.15am IOM time.

 

The Super Twins race has been revamped for this year and will now be incorporated in the Lightweight race. This really opens the floodgates to potential winners, so the first few sessions will be very intriguing. The Lightweight will also take place on Wednesday, but after the Junior at 1.15pm IOM time.

 

The crescendo of the Manx GP, the famous Senior race, will be run on Friday, September 1, at 10.15am IOM time. The Isle of Man runs nine hours behind Eastern Standard Time (EST). So, the Senior will be run at a prime time of 7.15pm EST.

The local radio station will be broadcasting the races, so tune in to http://www.manxradio.com/on-air/manx-radio-tt/ if you’d like to listen live. For live timing, a website will be activated soon, so keep an eye out on here for more details as this will show practice and race times.

 

Before the festival begins, you have a chance to read up on the competition. Road Racing News, the UK’s premier road racing website, has compiled a preview on the three races the team will be featuring in (click the links below). Royce made the cover photo for the Junior/Senior write-up, providing a nice buzz in the Rowe Racing Team garage.

The Rowe Racing Team has landed in the Isle of Man after enduring the now annual long-haul flight. After great results in the 2016 Manx GP, Royce and co are attempting to really make their mark on the International Road Racing scene.

The Official Manx GP website has already underlined Royce as a serious competitor for both the Junior and Senior races this year in the festival pre-amble, not to mention the Supertwins class the team thrive in back home.

PIC: The three bikes ready to be tucked in

.

Preparations began months ago with the team working together in order to get the bikes and gear packed into steal crates on time. Although being a very stressful exercise, all five managed to land safely in the Isle of Man.

PIC: Everything but the kitchen sink!

.

With the race bikes somewhere over the Indian Ocean, there wasn’t much for the team to do in the gap between licking the stamps and flying out themselves. Not ones to rest on their laurels though, a final run before the Isle of Man was undertaken last weekend at a cold, windy and deserted Mallala on the BJR Ducati 1000.

PIC: The only pit stop the team take their time getting through

.

 

After an uneventful flight, apart from the usual visit to the Guinness Bar in Dublin Airport, the team landed and began the less stressful task of unpacking. After last year’s incident of struggling to replace parts after a crash, the team packed everything but the kitchen sink.

PIC: With torrential rain forecast, Royce had an open track for the day – and miraculously no rain!

.

Some fared better than others in the game that is international travel, with Team Principal Les left waiting at the baggage collection for a suitcase that never showed. Three days in the same clothes wasn’t ideal, so luckily a local op-shop in Onchan provided a solution. The lost suitcase finally arrived this afternoon and the substitute t-shirt was promptly thrown into the fire. The team laptop was also inside the case. On return, Royce was relieved to get back into watching on-board footage of the track, analysing RPM mapping and nightly cat videos to help him fall asleep.

PIC: Our pre-race fire ceremony to appease the road Gods – Les’ t-shirt being the sacrifice

.

The team is now settled into Ballacain – the cottages we have used each year in the county of Onchan. Now, the team can get to work on preparing the bikes for our first outing this Saturday. All the bikes will be taken to a local dyno tomorrow in an attempt to tune them in a bit better as time ran out to do so at home. The dyno is used by TT legend Dave Molyneux, so we have no doubts the results will be top class.

PIC: It’s like Christmas morning on the Isle

.

While things are quiet, Royce has taken the opportunity to get out on the public roads aboard his ex-supersport Suzuki. Being such a tough track to memorise, any chance riders get to follow the course is valuable.

 PIC: The Rowe Racing entourage for 2017

.

Keep an eye out in the coming days for further updates on preparation developments and a ‘How-To’ guide on the best ways to keep track of the racing.

The Rowe Racing team has been pushing hard over the past few months to ensure both the Ducati and Triumph race bikes are prepared for their long-haul trip over to the Isle of Man.

 PIC: Patience became a virtue for the Rowe Racing pit crew

.

Crating takes place in under a fortnight, so it has been a mad rush to ensure the bikes are run in and are mechanically prepared to take on the mountain course.

PIC: Royce cleans his line at Mac Park between sessions… this will be a bit harder at the Isle of Man

.

The team has taken two trips to Phillip Island over the last couple of months, but bad weather hindered our development.

PIC: Brian and Royce aided by our special tool, Don Kershaw

.

We had some technical problems with the Triumph and found that living in a small and remote market like Australia brings with it its own challenges.

 

There have been some very late nights in the garage to get everything sorted in time and we’re grateful to our team’s meditation guru, Mark Boag, for getting us through.

PIC: Poor weather seemed to follow us from track to track

.

Since sorting our mechanical woes, the team has taken part in a test day at Mount Gambier, where the weather was again a problem, and one at Mallala where the weather fined up.

 

The end result is that both the Ducati and Triumph are sorted and ready for crating in a week and a half.

.

The job of securing the two motorcycles, a multitude of spares, tools and racing gear into the crates is a taxing job. The team would like to thank everyone who has lent a hand in the preparation stages.

 

Keep an eye on the blog in the coming weeks as things begin to ramp up in the countdown to Manx GP ’17.

The Phoenix MCC Rider Development Lottery was held at the Velocette Clubrooms over the weekend.

Pic: Both race bikes were on display for the night

.

Kicking off in the late afternoon, the crowd slowly arrived to an excited Rowe Racing team. Both the Isle of Man motorcycles were out on display for fans to check out and ask questions of the team principals.

The Velocette Club did a fantastic job of running the bar, which got a work out, and kindly gave us use of their BBQ, which was sizzling away all evening.

Pic: Many people enjoyed the presentation on the Isle of Man given by Royce

.

Royce wowed the crowd with a fantastic presentation about his assault on the Isle of Man, educating punters on the race and country in general. After a few party games to help donations tick over, it was time for the big draw!

Pic: The sliding dollar game drew a crowd!

.

With our adjudicator on hand, Royce drew out the lucky winners. We can safely say all winners were absolutely stoked with their prizes! (1st prize – B Tucker, 2nd – A Malatesta, 3rd – J Kah and 4th – C Cheeseman).

Pic: The lucky winner with her prizes – better get practicing!

.

Rowe Racing Team would like to thank every single person who bought a ticket in the raffle. Whether it was one or 21, it shows great support for our goal to reach the Manx GP and we now consider you part of the team.

 

It was straight back to business after the enjoyable night for the team who set off to Phillip Island for a test day on the Monday. Utilising the public holiday Tuesday, the 1800km round trip was almost for nothing as typically dreadful Melbourne weather greeted the team on the Island.

Pic: Once the weather fined up, some progress was made (Credit: SD Pics)

.

The first few sessions were abandoned due to torrential rain, but the team still made the most of the easing conditions throughout the afternoon.

 

The team managed to get some testing done, but were limited due to a slow drying track. Although restricted, signs were definitely positive for the team. We now look forward to another Phillip Island test in coming weeks with hopefully kinder weather!

The traditional Easter race meeting at Mount Gambier’s Mac Park has been a successful hunting ground for the Rowe Racing team over the years, none more so than the long weekend just past.

.

Run flawlessly by the Mount Gambier MCC, it was a real pleasure to ride at one of the best tracks in Australia with the whole event running seamlessly. Not only that, the weather was an absolute treat, providing riders every chance to better their lap times.

 

The meeting included a round of the BEARS (British, European and American Racing Series) national championship, and it was great to catch up with our friends from Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria.

Pic: The Ducati was on song all weekend (Credit: Pierre Cazes)

.

Riding both the Ducati and Triumph meant we had a busy weekend. Royce opted to enter four classes; the Super Twin class and BEARS Formula 3 for the Ducati, and Supersport and BEARS Formula 2 for the Triumph.

 

This meant numerous back to back races on different bikes – a problem the team has become accustomed to. As usual, it was a matter of Royce coming into the pits, jumping off one bike and onto the other, telling him which race he was about to contest, and letting him do his thing.

 

The two bikes and rider performed well beyond our expectations.

 

With four classes, contesting four races in each, Royce had 16 starts for 16 wins. This was easily the most races he’d ever competed in over one weekend and showed why the physical endurance aspect of Royce’s riding is such a strong attribute.

Pic: Royce is loving the new beast (Credit: Pierre Cazes)

.

Adding to the success of the weekend was PB’s on both bikes and three new lap records. Two records came on the Ducati in the Super Twin class and BEARS Formula 3 respectively, and one new record in the BEARS Formula 2 aboard the Triumph.

 

Some of the best racing all weekend was witnessed in the combined F1/F2 races, which saw Royce on the 675 Triumph dicing with Ducati 1198’s, 999’s and an MV Augusta. With the crowd cheering, Royce managed to slice his way through the field on the nimble Triumph, beating the much bigger bikes.

 

The decision to swap manufacturers was a tough one, but after countless late nights modifying the Triumph, Royce’s times have now dropped below his previous set on the Suzuki. Not only is he settling in on the new bike well, the Ducati times were faster than previously set too, so all signs are positive leading up to the Manx GP.

 

Royce said, “I always enjoy the Easter cup. It’s great to see the BEARS members. This particular year couldn’t have gone better. After wins in every race we topped the weekend off with a few lap records, I was pretty chuffed to say the least!

“The Ducati was on song and felt great, allowing me to push hard. As for the Triumph, after every ride I’m feeling more and more comfortable on the torquey beast and I can’t wait for a day at Phillip Island next week to see what it’s really capable of!”

Pic: En route to another victory! (Credit: Pierre Cazes)

.

Team engineer, Brian Rosser of BJR Racing, believes there is even more to be extracted from the Ducati two-valve twin, and we have two ride days scheduled at Phillip Island on ANZAC Day and Mother’s Day in the next five weeks to test these developments.

 

On the Manx GP front, our entries have been accepted for the Lightweight, Junior and Senior Manx Grand Prix events, so preparations are proceeding at an alarming rate. We thought we had plenty of time, but we will be crating up in about 10 weeks from now, so things are going to be hectic.

 

What seemed like plenty of time has now flown by, leaving the team about 10 weeks until the bikes are locked in their crates – so things are going to be hectic!

 

Hopefully everybody has bought up plenty of raffle tickets as the Phoenix MCC Rider Development Lottery is set to be drawn this Saturday, 22 April, at 5pm. The day will begin at 3pm with the Manx GP motorcycles on display at the Velocette MCC Clubrooms, 74 Drayton Street, Bowden. You’d be mad to miss it!

Rowe Racing attended the first round of the South Australian Road Race Championships at the weekend in hot conditions. With a solid break over summer, rider Royce Rowe was keen to get back into race-mode on his home track, Mallala.

PIC: Royce got the chance to test a 959 Ducati Panigale over the summer break

.

Having come off a dominant 2016, the team entered the Super Twin Championship once again. Participating on the 696 Ducati, Royce took all three race wins.

PIC: Getting to grips with the new machinery

.

Heading into 2017, the team have considered some big changes in machinery. To begin with, in February the team tested a 959 Panigale which was generously lent to us by Ciaren Carruthers. He was happy for us to test and evaluate the bike which Royce found very impressive.

PIC: The team were kept busy making changes all weekend

.

The team has also been toying with the idea of swapping to Triumph for this year’s Supersport and Manx Grand Prix assault. It was a difficult choice as Royce has been riding a 600 Suzuki for the last five years and they have been superb bikes, always reliable and they have provided us with a number of SA Supersport Championships – not to mention 6th in last year’s Senior Manx GP.

Once certain, the team committed to buying a stunning Triumph Daytona from Anthony Villella in Cairns, North Queensland. He had it beautifully prepared and the only work we had to do was set up the suspension for Royce’s weight and riding style.

PIC: Royce spannering the new Triumph with workshop apprentice Moddey (Manx for dog)

.

The team decided to enter the new Triumph in the Supersport class over the weekend. It was Royce’s first outing on the bike. This saw constant changes over the weekend with variations to springs, compression, rebound settings, fork heights and so on. Royce had to get familiar with the bike for the first time and assess a different suspension set-up for every practice session, qualifying session and race. With all that in mind, he adapted amazingly well and from three races secured the three wins. Not only that, Royce got to within 0.2 seconds of his personal best lap time set on the Suzuki.

PIC: Royce taking the lead during one of the weekend’s Supersport races

.

The team has now decided to switch from Suzuki to Triumph for the Manx Grand Prix. We will be keeping the Suzuki at the moment as a spare bike until we have the Triumph sorted.

Development will continue between now and the next race meeting at Mount Gambier over Easter. That will include a round of the national BEARS meeting. We will be in the Isle of Man for round two of the South Australian Championships, so unfortunately won’t be able to defend our 2016 titles this year.

As a reminder to our fans, tickets are still on sale for the Rider Development Lottery. There are some great prizes up for grabs, so get in quick!

 

Struggling for Christmas gift ideas? How about a one-of-a-kind trials motorcycle built by South Australian motorcycle stalwart Kelvin Franks? Or a framed poster of David Johnson, the fastest Aussie around the TT circuit? Or even a Suzuki Race Team jacket? Well, all these could be yours by entering the Phoenix MCC Rider Development Lottery!

PIC: The Phoenix MCC Rider Development Lottery is now open!

.

The proceeds of this lottery will aid current Phoenix MCC member Royce Rowe’s racing at home and across the globe. The Phoenix MCC aims to ultimately help Royce compete in his third Manx GP at the Isle of Man in 2017.

Tickets cost $5 and can be bought online at pmc-lottery.com or by emailing pmc.ticket@gmail.com. Hard copy tickets are also available at two of our favourite motorcycling stores – Kessner Motorcycles (320 North East Road, Klemzig, SA) and GC Motorcycles (122 Main North Road, Prospect, SA). Or just keep an eye out for the team at race meetings as we will have book on hand ready for purchases.

The top prize is an absolute pearler – an observed trials motorcycle designed and built by Kelvin Franks in the mid-80s. The Franks name became synonymous in motocross circles during the 70s and 80s. Kelvin left his hometown of Adelaide to race motocross in Europe and the UK throughout the 60s, before settling in California where he built machines called ‘Roos’ for top riders including Tommy Croft, Danny La Porte, Marty Smith and Mike Bell.

The bike sports a chrome-moly frame, alloy swing-arm and exhaust, billet made wheels and a 350cc Rotax motor. It was never used in competition, but was tested a few times. This one-of-a-kind piece of Australian motorcycling history would make a fantastic talking piece as it is quite literally unique.

PIC: GC Motorcycles has been kind enough to sell tickets at their Main North Road workshop

.

There’s plenty of time to buy tickets if the holidays have you strapped for cash. The prizes won’t be drawn until April 2017, giving us plenty of time to raise as much money for the cause. Beginning with a motorcycle display from 3pm, Saturday, 22^nd of April, 2017, the draw will take place at the Velocette MCC clubrooms, 74 Drayton Street, Bowden, SA. Food and bar facilities will be on offer as the lucky winners are drawn at 5pm.

In other Rowe Racing news, the team went to the start of the Adelaide Toy Run at Victoria Park on Sunday. We set up a stand at the start line to display the Championship winning Suzuki 600 and one of the Manx Ducatis. It was a great publicity event for the team, generating plenty of interest in our racing exploits. It’s estimated there were about 6000 bikes with riders and pillions, so approximately 10,000 people in attendance including a large number of general public viewing the event.

.

The team will be testing again this Sunday, which is the last opportunity before Christmas. The main focus will be to sort the problem of wheel-spin on the Ducati 1000, which we didn’t have time to address at the last race meeting. Some suspension work might move the wheel-spin problem to a wheel-stand problem, so there will be plenty of adjustments made.

PIC: Our new tyre-warmers have been a hit at race meetings! Riders can contact us if they would like to organise a set – they are made by an Italian company and work a treat!

.

Racing in SA starts again in earnest early next year. There will be plenty of testing along the way and trips to race meetings interstate. We hope to get to Phillip Island a few times, as that is a good high-speed track which allows development for the Isle of Man. The team is looking forward to the new world class track being built at Tailem Bend in South Australia – it unfortunately won’t be operational until late next year, but it will be optimal to have a 200km return drive to an international circuit rather than the 2000km return drive to Phillip Island.

The Rowe Racing team would like to thank all its supporters and sponsors who have made 2016 a fantastic year. We’ve made waves locally and internationally on the road racing scene and we couldn’t be prouder as a team. Keep an eye out in 2017 as we plan to go even bigger!
