Injury Claims For (E)U
13 Nov 2025
I joined the TRF 10 years ago, and it has opened up a whole new world for me. With friends, I have ridden gravel and other unmade roads from the surprisingly warm Finnish Arctic in June to the unsurprising heat of the Moroccan Sahara in March. I’ve discovered bits of my homeland I never knew […]
Be Prepared
This is not a legal Q&A but a legal lesson about biking abroad. Earlier this year I was away touring with my good friend Mr Gomez (aka Gogo Gomez) and some other pals. Some of you will know Gogo from being on track with his R1 and his legendary dreadlocks. We were touring Switzerland, Italy, […]
Slippery Subject
06 Nov 2025
I recently purchased a Kawasaki ZX-6R brand-new. It was running nicely before its first service; I haven’t ragged it yet. When it got to 500-odd miles, I booked it in with my local garage for an oil and filter change.
A Contract on Track?
30 Oct 2025
I was at a Ducati track day and signed up to ride one of its new V4Ss. I had to sign a disclaimer which basically said if I bin the bike, I must pay for the repairs.
Bike Accident? Know Your Costs
23 Oct 2025
A couple of weeks ago, I was out riding my CRF300L to some local green lanes, but I managed to miss my turn from a tarmac road onto a byway. As such, I decided to do a quick U-turn. Unfortunately, I completely misjudged things and turned in front of a car, which hit me. I […]
Lost Letter, Found Trouble
16 Oct 2025
I have had my Triumph 1200 Explorer for two years now and I love it. Tina (yes, I named my bike) has taken me everywhere from as far south as Morocco and as far east as Slovenia. Now, I need to stress that I’m the only one who rides Tina. I’ve lived in the same […]
I bought knock-off gloves and they fell apart in a crash – can I sue?
09 Oct 2025
I bought myself a pair of motorcycle gloves from a well-known internet sales site. They cost about £8 and were heavily branded as well-respected primarily adventure/off-road brand Klim.
Am I breaking the law riding across the pavement to park in my garden?
02 Oct 2025
I live on a modern estate but where I live, we have a problem with bike thieves. I set off to work at about 8.15am and return about 6.00pm. I ride my bike from a little car park where we are supposed to park our cars in designated bays – which, in fairness, most people […]
Am I Legally Safe To Ride As A Leader?
25 Sep 2025
For years I have been leading TRF rides with other experienced riders who know the lanes in my area. However, one of the regular ride leaders has withdrawn as he fears he has liability if things go wrong and his concerns have put the wind up a few of the other regular ride leaders. Am […]
Reverse Camouflage
18 Sep 2025
We trail riders wear a variety of riding kit. Some of us blend into the countryside in finest ex MoD waterproofs, others are starbright in MX kit and, of course, all points in between.
Points Don’t Make Prizes
11 Sep 2025
I got caught speeding while out on my GSX-R1000. I went past the Old Bill at 47mph, in a 30mph limit.
Naughtier Than Speeding?

Are you obliged to identify yourself if you’re caught speeding by a camera van?
Special Metal

What happens if your limited-edition pride and joy takes an undeserved battering?
A Fag End
21 Aug 2025
Dropping litter is bad enough. Flicking a fag at someone’s face is off the chart.
Paternal Pillion Palaver
14 Aug 2025
Who should be helping my son? I had him on the back of my Fireblade as a pillion. We were heading down a narrow country lane last autumn when we had a head-on with a tractor on a bend. I can’t remember what happened and neither can my son.
No Conspiracy
07 Aug 2025
I believe there is a conspiracy against me by all those involved. Around three years back, I broke my leg after some absolute imbecile in a van pulled out of a junction and straight into the side of me whilst I was riding my Ducati Multistrada.
First Ride Breakdown
31 Jul 2025
My teenage daughter started college this year and has been catching two buses and walking the last mile to get there.
Time of the Sign
24 Jul 2025
I am part of a local vintage Japanese motorbike group that meets at the same pub on a Thursday evening through the winter months for a chinwag, and we do a Sunday morning ride out in the summer. They always laugh at me because, whatever the weather, I always turn up on my trusty CB900.
