Now put it down, you look like a tit. If you’ve been, you’ll probably have a decent idea of what it’s all about and a rough idea of the rules governing the different classes that race over there.

Especially if you’ve got a penchant for crashing; I’ve been known to go through several helmets and almost as many leather suits in a single year.

Some have been really good, others not so. But even the best ones haven’t had the range that most would consider necessary for a proper motorcyclist. An electrically powered road bike, ridden properly, isn’t going to give you much more than an hour of fun; before you’ve […]

But sometimes it’s difficult to know exactly what you can take away after testing a new bike other than ‘yeah, I quite liked that’. […]

Buying bikes tends to involve dealing with people you don’t know, and have got no real reason to trust, so there are a lot of things that could go wrong. Things that could end up costing […]

But whether they’re as calamitous as mine or not, it pays dividends to prepare for the worst. I haven’t always done that, and when I haven’t, I’ve usually regretted it. So here are a few essential items of kit that […]

The expectation is that it should cut CO2 emissions by 700,000 tonnes. At the same time though, it has the potential […]

And then he told me that it wasn’t any ordinary Hayabusa, it was a Hayabusa with a TTS Performance supercharger on it. It was […]

In fact I’m probably more excited about it than I’ve been about anything in quite a while. And so are all my mates (both of them), who simply refuse to talk about anything else at the moment.
