“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.”

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

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.
