“The Fast Bikes Legal Clinic is compiled by Andrew Dalton, and his bike riding barristers and solicitors at White Dalton Motorcycle Solicitors.
They deal with personal injury claims and their sister company, Motor Defence Solicitors, deals with all the motoring offences. They know everything about bike law, Andrew is a former London motorbike courier turned barrister and solicitor, and we know he’s good.
All the White Dalton lawyers are qualified barristers, or solicitors, or both – and they all have full bike licences, too. They don’t act for insurance companies or the prosecution.
They are Britain’s most specialist law practice, and if they don’t know the answer to your question, there probably isn’t one. Don’t rely on the advice from your insurance appointed solicitor, get proper independent advice.”

A nasty surprise awaits
01 Jan 2014
I recently acquired a 1998 Triumph Daytona 955i so my 50 year old mate with a California license could ride it for a three week trip around the UK and Europe. After phoning multiple insurance companies, only one seemed to be able to do this simple task.

Community Service?
01 Jan 2013
I was zapped by some community do-gooders. As I rode passed a huddle of semi-retired wombles in dayglow jackets, one of them pointed a speed gun at me and a sign flashed up warning me I was doing 43 in a 30.

I have been involved in a long running personal injury action — liability is not in dispute. I was heading one way up a street and there was solid traffic backed up in the opposite lane. A car driver decided that he wasn’t going to wait anymore and chucked a u-turn alongside me, causing me […]

I was riding my bike along the M40 when I got caught behind some biff in a car, who was hovering at between 69 and 71 mph in the outside lane. The two inside lanes were empty, and I was part of a queue of vehicles that were stuck behind this spanner.
