Brilliant day and great event.
Not just a race day but a family day out too, Jemma enjoyed herself and is a gutted that her bike wasn't working properly for her to compete in all races.
Big thanks to McIntosh, Bob & Mick, helpers, and sponsors involved in bringing the championship to Warden Law.
Cheers again

Don Churchill - July 10th 2011
We went on holiday just after the Scottish Minimoto Championship races at Warden Law so this is the first opportunity we’ve had to leave a post.
Brilliant day, Chris thoroughly enjoyed himself and was pleasantly surprised to find he was at least a little bit competitive in a strong field.
He had worried that his old bike would not be up to the job but thanks to reassurance from Bob before the event and Alan McIntosh on the day Chris took part and was pleased he did.
Chris has been a member of the Mini Bike club for a few years now and although as he has grown older and his interests have expanded, meaning we do not get to club events as often as we used to, we always enjoy the events we attend. So, many thanks to Bob, Mick, the Bikewise team and of course all the other club members. I hope the club sponsors realise what a tremendous opportunity their contributions to the club make in allowing young people to enjoy such a safe introduction to motorsport and motorcycling and I hope they will continue with their support for the club.
Mike Hoy - July 7th 2011
A massive thank you to everyone involved in bringing Round 3 of the Scottish Championship to Warden Law. We had a fantastic day and all the riders rode brilliantly.
It shouldn't be under estimated how fortunate we are to get this level of support in the region for our youngsters who want to ride and be involved in motorcycling.
Thank you
The Hoy's

I would just like to say Sunday’s event at Warden Law was one of the best days so far with the ‘BikeWise team.
My family & I all enjoyed the days racing!
Even with the rain coming down late on, but we all feel the day was a big success & hope that they decide to have another event at Warded Law again.
Stephen Alderson - July 5th 2011A big thank you to everyone involved in the arranging of Round 3 at Warden Law.
Everyone seemed to have a fantastic day and there was some great riding.
We enjoyed watching all the BikeWise members taking part in this event they did us proud.
Stephen, Michelle and James
Simon Guest - July 4th 2011
The Scottish Mini Moto Championship day at Warden Law was a great day, despite the weather. (and even though my son tried becoming superman).
Thank you to all that put the effort into arranging the event and to The Durham Agency Against Crime for their sponsorship.
It's a pity we can't have more similar events in our region.

Fantastic meeting at Warden Law on Sunday.
Many Thanks to Alan McIntosh of Polini UK for bringing Round 3 of the Scottish Mini Moto Championship south of the border to let our local riders have the opportunity to take part in the championship.
Thanks also to :
The Durham Agency Against Crime,
HM Plant Ltd,
Durham Advanced Motorcyclists
Karting North East
for supporting / helping us to provide this opportunity for our club members.Most thanks, must go to the riders (and their families), who turned out 'in force', to fill the grids and produce some fantastic racing. It was great to see you all lined up on the grids in your respective classes. - you did the BikeWise Mini Bike Club proud.We did have some brilliant results on the day, but, it would be wrong of me to name individuals as in my mind you are all 'winners'
Thanks for showing motorcycling and BikeWise Mini Bike Club at it's best.

Thank you for running this amazing club and thank you to all of you who do the photos.

Marcus Lumley - April 14th 2011
Many thanks for the warm welcome we were given by everybody at the club.
A special thanks to Bob, John and Gary, without who's help the club would not be here.
Joseph and family had the best time ever and cannot wait to come back next time.
We cannot believe how well run and safe the whole thing is run.
Also a massive thanks for the great web site, because if we had not found it we would not have found the club.
Many Thanks.
Many Thanks.
Kirsty Simpson - March 4th 2011
Our boys, Kai and Shay are looking forward to another year in the Bikewise club.
Our boys have been in the club for about three years now and are developing and growing safe riding skills in every session, thanks to all the team who make it happen.
Believe it or not I was not a big bike fan at first but, the team/family spirit and safety involved in being part of the Bikewise gang has changed my perception of motorbikes completely!!
We'll see you all on the track!!!!
Best Wishes Kirsty (Kai and Shay's mum)
Bob Brown - Dec 20th 2010
Another fantastic year for the club – membership continues to grow and tremendous commitment from our riders, their families and friends of the club. Some notable events were meeting the HM Plant Racing team at BikeWise & Croft, Dale taking to the road after completing his ACE scholarship[ (CBT), Katie racing with the Auto 66 club on her Aprilia and Kai & James competing in the Scottish Mini Moto championship with James bringing home the best Newcomers Award.
However, it has be said that every event we run is notable, for the skill of our riders and the fun we have watching them and long may it continue. Best wishes for Xmas & the New Year.

Just wanted to thank everyone at the club who organised today for OUR kids. 1st time I've been anything other than a visitor to bikewise & it was fantastic. Highlight was trying to get 10 seconds to ask John McGuiness a question only to find out my wife was talking to him for 15mins about our dog & didn't know who it was, priceless. Thanks again to all of you organisers & I look forward to being involved in the club as much as possible from here in.

The BikeWise Mini Bike Club is a brilliant example of what can be achieved through provision for young people to ride their bikes safely. This club demonstrates that people only ride motorcycles where they shouldn't, because there isn't somewhere where they should (or could)... If there was a BikeWise club in every local authority area in the UK, illegal riding would virtually disappear. Everyone involved in this project is a 'hero' and should be congratulated on creating something so successful and valuable. Other Authorities - watch and learn!

Had a lovely day when I came to see BikeWise. Can't describe how impressed I was with the dedicated team that make it all happen. The project clearly means so much to them and they love what they are doing. One look at the kids, all ages mixing together, helping each other and laughing and joking demonstrates the great sense of community amongst them. Once they get on the track one look at their faces tells you just how much they love the mini bikes. What a great way to get kids off the streets, giving them a sense of responsibility and more importantly doing something exciting (but safe!). Anyone who says kids shouldn't ride motorbikes should take a look at BikeWise Mini Bike Club! Well done everyone - keep it up, we need more schemes like this.

Hi Bikewise Mini-Moto site, Your site is very impressive but it is surpassed by your events. I have, as yet, only visited one of your Mini-Moto events and indeed that was only on Sunday last -- 31st. May '09 at your Carrville venue. To say that I was gob-smacked by the very professional organisation, by the safety - first parameters and by the sheer enthusiasm could easily be taken as an insult to those concerned BUT -- I would ask them to accept it as a plainly spoken compliment Besides other things I have a fifty year experience of motorcycling and a personal reputation for being very difficult to impress but I have no hesitation in here recording that "I WAS WELL IMPRESSED ON SUNDAY !"

The basic advantages to the motorcycling fraternity are there and are plain to see but the whole concept ticks so many, so diverse, social boxes too that I could (and will) be bringing this to the attention of others. I realise that the whole thing is now a team effort and I unreservedly applaud that reality BUT I also recognise that someone had to start it and someone has to make it happen. That person / persons, will wish to remain nameless but I must here record my admiration for them ALL in the knowledge that they will know if that particular "cap" actually fits them personally.
It is my opinion that the boundless enthusiasm and energy deployed by some key members is worthy of formal recognition.
Very Best Wishes

Great website. I especially liked watching the mini bikes with the Snow Patrol sound track! Good work fella. Bikewise is a great site with good reach. I was having a coffee at Minchella's in Shields today when some biker's were talking about it and how good it was that Durham Police have a bikers website. It prompted me to get in touch. I'm pleased to be a biker and to work with you guys on the support side. Cheers, Ollie.
