Howzat
31 Jul 2014
I was riding with my IAM group past a sports club where the local team was playing cricket. Apparently ‘Big Tony’ nailed the ball for six, and unfortunately hit me square in the face of my open-faced lid. Unsurprisingly I wobbled off course and hit the back of a parked car.
Hire bike trouble
24 Jul 2014
I think I’ve got myself in serious trouble. I got knocked off my old Bandit 600 several months ago. It’s worth about £1400 and I only use it when it rains as I don’t want to dirty up my Triumph.
Illegal speed van
03 Jul 2014
I was out with some mates for a blast up the coast near where I live on my new MT-09. I went for an overtake, and in all honesty I was doing about 45mph in 30mph when I spotted a speed camera van parked up in a well dodgy position on the side of the […]
Fish & Chip oil slick
26 Jun 2014
I have a weird situation… My mate lives out in the sticks in a little housing estate. I swung round to see him on my XJR1300 and as I turned into his close my front-end slipped away and I tumbled off. I hit the deck and fractured my elbow. Upon getting up I saw the […]
High speed tyre
05 Jun 2014
I had a new tyre fitted to my GSXR1000 by a small garage local to me. About a month later I took my bike to my main dealer for a service after I got back from Germany. While in Germany I had ridden around the Nurburgring at speeds of up to 180mph.
Uninsured third party
29 May 2014
Have I got problems? I was riding my CBR600RR down a residential road when a car reversed straight out of a drive in front of me. I had no chance of braking and ‘T-boned’ his rear passenger door.
Hastings May Day Run – 5/5/2014
08 May 2014
We were at Hastings on Monday for the May Day Run, super sunny and super busy with fantastic people. What a cracking show. We talked to THOUSANDS of bikers and gave each one a neck-warmer and prize draw card. Such a good reception and the seaside town did itself proud by getting every bike parked. […]

Off-road with no tax?
10 Apr 2014
I have just bought a DRZ400 with road tyres It hasn’t got an MoT or Tax, but instead of spending money on this I’m thinking of spending it on some knobblies and going ‘off-road’ for some giggles There are loads of local woods, parks and farmland, so I figured as long as I stick to […]
Dodgy eBay buyer
03 Apr 2014
I put my old Yamaha Fazer 1000 up on eBay, and had a chap visit for a look before placing a bid. I let him have a spin around the block, but he clipped an old lady on a zebra crossing. The police were involved, and he’s getting done for careless driving. That’s fair enough […]
Muppet Solicitor
13 Mar 2014
Do I have to stick with my insurer panel appointed solicitor? He is a muppet. Some ‘spoon’ banged into the rear of my bike at a junction.
Road tentacles
06 Mar 2014
I was riding on my old CB750k2, and there were some of those rubber tubes across the road that measure the traffic, attached to a metal box chained to a lamppost.
Foreign Driver Accidents
19 Feb 2014
In my opinion, in recent years there has been a noticeable increase on British roads of foreign cars. I would be grateful if you could give some advice in case I have an accident with a foreign driver. In the event of any kind of accident involving a motorcycle and a foreign vehicle driven on […]
Dog Vs Bike
12 Feb 2014
I was riding along my local high street when a chihuahua dog (yes, the really small type) called Twinkle jumped out of her owner’s handbag and ran straight out in front of me, causing me to swerve, crash into a massive pile of rubbish outside the local kebab shop and fall off. Not my coolest […]
Not wheelie very good
06 Nov 2013
I have just got back into biking (I used to have a Triumph Tiger 500 back in the 1970s – good times) and bought a new Yamaha Rl on which to head out on rides with my mates. I had only had it for a few weeks when I had an incident.
