Motorcycle Training Accident – Don’t Drop It
10 May 2010
I fancied getting my motorcycle licence and paid £420 to a local motorcycle school for direct access. I spent one day in the compound with cones etc, and returned on another day for continuation training.
Dangerous overtaking – Cat and Mouse
I was riding with a mate, both of us were on hyper sports bikes, and we gained on a Nissan Skyline.
Motorcycle accident liability – Mate’s fate?
I was riding in a 60mph zone with two mates, probably doing a bit over 60, when an old git pulls out of a side road. I hit the front of the car and have been left with damage to some foot ligaments, which makes walking pretty painful, although my doctors say it will get […]
Ambulance Motorcycle Club Crash card
06 May 2010
If you’re injured and are unable to talk coherently because of concussion how does the ambulance crew find out who you are?
CCM Sledgehammer Winner!
23 Apr 2010
Dave Stanford from Kent collected the CCM Sledgehammer from our offices today. He says this is the first bike he has owned from new, all his other bikes have been second hand and needed some form of restoration to get them running again.
Mud on road caused motorbike accident
I was riding along, minding my own business on my KTM 640, down roads that I know pretty well, and when I came round a bend, looking through the bend for my exit, I hit a slick of cow shit. I wasn’t braking, but I was cranked over, and both wheels just completely lost it.
Ace Café Southend Shakedown
06 Apr 2010
We were at a very busy Ace Café Southend Shakedown on Bank Holiday Monday. We had plenty of visitors to our stand to see one of the new prize bikes, the CCM R35 Flat Tracker as well as to collect prize draw cards.

Whitstable Easter Egg Run
29 Mar 2010
Chef and I loaded our bikes up – actually, I loaded up the R1200 GS boxes and Chef carried our contribution of Easter Eggs in his back pack, and off we set for the coast. We had been invited by the Toy Run Organisers to come back at Easter, give away freebies (this years was […]
New Rukka Armadillo Kit Review
25 Mar 2010
Today is the first day my new Rukka Kit got its first outing in the hacking down rain, and the boys from Finland know how to make a decent motorcycle suit. Mine is the midrange Armadillo but the prices are pretty top end. Anyway, here is what I reckon.
CCM FT35s Won
18 Mar 2010
Our latest prize bike winner, Chris Axtell, collected his CCM from the White Dalton offices on the 18th March 2010.
Wheelie Bad
05 Mar 2010
I have just been written up by the police for dangerous driving. I executed a deliberate wheelie in a 40mph stretch of dual carriageway for about 60 – 70 metres. Unfortunately I didn’t notice the police patrol car in a garage forecourt behind a transit van. What should I expect?
Passenger Problems
01 Feb 2010
I was riding my bike in Central London, in an area where taxis stop in a rank in the middle of the road. Traffic was heavy, and I was slowly filtering. I’m a regular commuter and ride into London most days. A black cab passenger door swung open from the opposite side to the driver, […]
It Wasn’t Me!
29 Dec 2009
I have just received a summons for speeding on my Triumph Speed Triple in London. Apparently I was stopped by a constable in uniform, who gave me a producer, and reported me for speeding. The problem I have is that this never happened. I have a Speed Triple, I do live in a London suburb, […]
Whitstable Toy Run 2009
08 Dec 2009
Sunday morning brought torrential rain and oodles of surface water, so I was rather glad that Andrew had made the call to drive to Whitstable (despite the absence of the White Dalton bus (white whale!)) rather than my having to learn to water ski on my motorbike! The weather stayed fairly miserable for most of […]
International Motorcycle & Scooter Show – 27th Nov to 6th December
15 Oct 2009
We won’t be at the Birmingham NEC International Motorcycle & Scooter Show this year, which is a pity and unexpected consequence of two major manufacturers pulling out.
