It’s a silly notion that inanimate objects can have a bearing and influence over one’s life, or indeed bestow it with love or fear or mediocrity. These things enter our lives as blank storyless books, empty pages waiting to be filled. Experiences you share together inscribing that […]

]]> 20985 Oulton Park + Post-service Spankings https://44teeth.com/baron-von-grumble-arrested/ Thu, 13 Aug 2015 10:42:06 +0000 https://area1.crowdifyserver.com/44-teeth/baron-von-grumble-arrested/ Bad news I’m afraid: Baron von Grumble was arrested by the carbon fibre police yesterday. The special force – who has strong links to government officials and MI6 – cited several horrendous clashes of carbon weave (particularly the conflicting directions) and a complete disregard for trackday fashion. Carbon wheels, carbon frame guards, carbon subframe, carbon […]

]]> 20638 Video: Fireblade Fettling https://44teeth.com/video-fireblade-fettling/ Thu, 06 Aug 2015 17:12:46 +0000 https://area1.crowdifyserver.com/44-teeth/video-fireblade-fettling/ After a lax servicing period and several track dates looming, we decided to treat BvG’s Fireblade to some much-needed refurbishment at JHS Racing. Brake pads needed changing (as you can see from the video), the oil needed dropping (it resembled Hulk’s jizz) and, in general, the whole bike required some titivation. And as good as […]

]]> 20624 Video: Aprilia RS125 v KTM RC125 https://44teeth.com/video-aprilia-rs125-v-ktm-rc125/ Tue, 19 May 2015 18:39:30 +0000 https://area1.crowdifyserver.com/44-teeth/video-aprilia-rs125-v-ktm-rc125/ This 125cc skirmish was, without doubt, one of the most entertaining motorcycle-based days we’ve both encountered. Hopefully you’ve perused the prose, now it’s time for video format. A trip to Cheddar Gorge and the Mendip TT roads highlighted just how rapid the Aprilia RS125 was – but also how much distress it caused during everyday […]

It’s, well, Welsh. For us urban dwellers, more used to blindly ambling the metropolitan streets, buried in a bigger than big iPhone 6, preaching sensationalism to the world about just how good their mochafrappacino was that morning… Wales is not top of their Google Calendar agendas. With the potted scars of industrial decrepidation and […]

Summer is knocking at the back door and the dreams of touring Europe, days out with your homosapien lovers, fantastical and outrageous ideas that this is the year to buy a special bike and daydreams of 400-mile wheelies whilst […]

You either love it or hate it, and patience is a vital prerequisite – something I still haven’t grasped. So […]

I have a philosophy about this when thinking back over the years to the various vehicles I’ve owned or used – or that have been part of my life. Every one that I’ve struggled to acquire has been a pain in the […]

We took BvG’s KTM 1290 Super Duke R to JHS Racing for a power run and this was the result. For a bog-stock motor and Akrapovic can, the numbers are impressive… We’ve seen anything from 150bhp to 155bhp, and know […]
