Dealer’s duty
05 Nov 2026
My dealer’s delivery driver knocked my bike over. Who should claim against him, and must I tell my insurer?

Changes to the law means you could have your bike seized without any warning.
Cracked frame claim
22 Oct 2026
My bike’s frame has cracked, I believe due to the poor surface in a pub car park. Can I claim?
Filtering fallout
15 Oct 2026
A car driver opened his door while I was filtering and took me out. How can I prove it wasn’t my fault?

Over the years my biking life has changed from the ‘power ranger’ look of leathers so tight that you can see my meat and two veg, to the full-on Charlie and Ewan look, complete with the ‘adventure’ boots to ride to Starbucks . You get the idea.

Filtering Fallout
17 Sep 2026
I was riding on a motorway and filtered between lanes two and three. I am pretty certain that the driver in lane three moved to his right so I could filter through. Once I got past him, I sped up from around 65mph to around 70/75mph, as I wanted to make sure I was well […]

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 […]

Told off for no mirrors – Was he right?

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?

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 […]
