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.

Badly injured while riding on Mad Sunday
18 Dec 2013
I was seriously injured on the TT course two years ago. I am not a racer, but on Mad Sunday I was riding at a speed I thought was fair enough. I have done a few trackdays and I was riding a high-performance sportsbike when some lunatic, approaching a tightish bend, shot past me as […]

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.
Mobility stupidity
30 Oct 2013
I was riding my bike down a main road near to where I live. At a junction to my left there was a stationary white van and as I came closer I could see the driver waving his arms about like a mad man. I slowed down thinking there must surely be something wrong.
Lies, damned lies and outright fraudulent claims
23 Oct 2013
Honesty is the best policy. I received one of those lovely calls telling me that as a result of my entirely non-existent road traffic accident and my even less real whiplash injury that I was entitled to £3300, and all I needed to do was sign a few pieces of paper and be seen by […]

Testing times

I am new to biking and was on my way to the test centre for my full bike test. My instructor was in front and I lost sight of him. However, as we were using radios he told me to exit off the roundabout using the second exit and accelerate up the hill.
Spotty yoof parking

A few days ago I look my Yamaha R1 to a bike dealer to have some work done. I had asked him to order in a carbon fibre mudguard and dropped the bike off as arranged. I left my bike on the dealer’s forecourt and gave him the keys.
