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 […]

Paternal Pillion Palaver
14 Aug 2025

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.

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.
Subrogated Claim
17 Jul 2025

MoT Crash Chaos
12 Jun 2025
I am not a fan of our Lycra-clad cousins on two wheels Last summer I had taken my old Pan European (I know it’s not the sexiest bike in the world, but it is bloomin’ reliable!) for a pre-booked MoT.
Cigar-Rigmarole
05 Jun 2025
I was aiming to blast up the motorway for two hours, then turn left and get lost in Wales for the day, and then head home for tea and biscuits.
