A minor mishap?
10 Sep 2026
I have been riding for the past 35 years and I am also an advanced rider and the chairman of our local group.
Aiding and Abetting
03 Sep 2026
In the eyes of the law, egging someone onto doing a dangerous act, or riding a dangerous vehicle, can be enough to get that person prosecuted too.
Thrown off a Gold Wing and into a £4000 excess
27 Aug 2026
I am currently riding a VFR 1200F. I get that it is a bit of a ‘Marmite’ bike, and not everyone likes it. However, in my opinion it still looks sharp, and Honda’s build quality is second-to-none. Another big draw for me was the service intervals. It has an 8000-mile interim service interval and as […]
We have a winner!

Congratulations to Simon Tullis from Kent, who is the latest winner of our prize bike competition.
Told off for no mirrors – Was he right?
20 Aug 2026
I have been riding bikes since God was a lad and have had all sorts from RD350s to Bandit 1200s, right up to the latest all singing, all dancing GS1300. About two years ago I ended up getting bitten by the green laning bug and bought KTM’s 890 Adventure R.
Motorcycle Dealer Forgot the Brake Bolts, Can You Sue?
13 Aug 2026
Last year I bought a Honda CRF450L. It is absolutely mint, super low mileage and also had an impeccable service history. I must admit I paid a little over the odds for it, but I think it was worth it.
I was knocked off my Bonneville. Can I claim for the crash altering my career path?
06 Aug 2026
I have been in the RAF for 10 years. About five years ago, I joined an engineering department that looks after the historic planes. I was in a ‘hands-on’ role – it’s cliché, but it was very rewarding. That was until about six months ago. I was waiting at a T-junction when a young woman […]
SUPERBIKE FACTORY | CAUGHT UP IN THE CHAOS?
03 Aug 2026
Welcome to another Legal Corner with Gav from White Dalton who dishes out some legal assistance for those Superbike Factory customers caught up in the chaos.
I rode without insurance after a rental company gave me a sham certificate. Can I defend this in court?
30 Jul 2026
I run a YouTube channel about bikes and riding. Last month I got a message through Instagram from a chap who had a very powerful sportsbike – he told me he had a rental company and said if I gave them a shout on my socials, I could rent the bike for the weekend for […]
A Lorry Reversed Over My Motorcycle in a Shop Car Park, Can I Claim?
23 Jul 2026
Some people are Honda through and through. Others love Harley. As for me, I’m a Ducati man. My love affair with Italian exotica started with a Monster, then a 748, then a 916, and then… you get the idea.
Highways – A way to fight back!
16 Jul 2026
I am sick and tired of the appalling roads. Now the weather has got better and my motorcycle is out, I feel as if all the joy has been taken from riding as I constantly try to dodge poor road surfaces. I have reported lots of defects and nothing gets done! Surely the law can […]
A Foreign Trip
09 Jul 2026
A few of us lads did a tour abroad in Spain. One of us had a spill when they hit diesel and fell off their machine. The bike was knackered and he broke a few bones. We were discussing how best to bring a claim? Any pointers?
Dealer Damage
02 Jul 2026
A few days ago, I took my Suzuki GSX-R1000 to my local dealer to have some work done. I was having a new shock fitted and the suspension set up properly for my weight, etc. I dropped the bike off, as arranged, and gave my keys to the dealer. The plan was they were having […]
A Big Shift
25 Jun 2026
Not a Q&A this month, rather, an important piece on the law changes about to hit us…
Grip Failure
18 Jun 2026
I am very lucky as I have several bikes. Some are very old (a BSA Bantam for example), and some are very new (my KTM 1290). However, the one I keep returning to is my beloved Yamaha Fazer 1000. I have had it since new and have now racked up 70,000 miles. During that time […]
Carbon Fibre Wheels
11 Jun 2026
As upgrades go, carbon wheels are right up there. But what happens if they go wrong?
I fell off because of an oil leak that occurred after an oil change
04 Jun 2026
I was about to turn 60 years old, so as a treat to myself (and why not!) I decided to buy a new bike. I must admit that on the day I picked it up, I was grinning like a Cheshire cat. Knowing I would be out on the bike a lot, I also booked […]
