Exhausting Procedure
01 Jan 2026
I mainly use my Tracer 9 GT for commuting to work and ride the same route every day, part of which involves a fast, sweeping A-road. It’s always my favourite part of my ride – up until a couple of days ago when I got flipped off whilst going around a gentle left-hander.
Moped Mayhem
25 Dec 2025
I recently purchased a brand-new moped from a dealer that has since gone into liquidation (it was a limited company), and I only managed around 300 miles before it broke down.
No Tyre Excuse
18 Dec 2025
I bought a second-hand Suzuki GSX1400 off Facebook last winter. It was a non-runner, but I have been tinkering with bikes all my life and after a couple of weekends in the shed, it was up and running.
Bollard Bother
11 Dec 2025
About six months ago, me and my clan had a holiday booked. As I fancied using the bike, my wife took the kids in the car to my parents during the day. The plan was that I would finish work, hop on the bike and go and meet them all later that evening.
Courier Corner Cutting
04 Dec 2025
Originally, I started off as a motorbike courier delivering parcels, but as the years have gone on, the world has changed, and the power of the internet and email basically killed off the bulk of that work.
Rear End Rights
27 Nov 2025
I have commuted into Manchester every day for the last three years on my Kawasaki Versys 650. I have had loads of bikes over the years, some bigger, some smaller, but this bike has been phenomenal.
Bike Accident? Know Your Costs
23 Oct 2025
A couple of weeks ago, I was out riding my CRF300L to some local green lanes, but I managed to miss my turn from a tarmac road onto a byway. As such, I decided to do a quick U-turn. Unfortunately, I completely misjudged things and turned in front of a car, which hit me. I […]
Lost Letter, Found Trouble
16 Oct 2025
I have had my Triumph 1200 Explorer for two years now and I love it. Tina (yes, I named my bike) has taken me everywhere from as far south as Morocco and as far east as Slovenia. Now, I need to stress that I’m the only one who rides Tina. I’ve lived in the same […]
Paternal Pillion Palaver
14 Aug 2025
Who should be helping my son? I had him on the back of my Fireblade as a pillion. We were heading down a narrow country lane last autumn when we had a head-on with a tractor on a bend. I can’t remember what happened and neither can my son.
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.
First Ride Breakdown
31 Jul 2025
My teenage daughter started college this year and has been catching two buses and walking the last mile to get there.
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.
The Truth About Collision Investigation – Part 2
22 Jul 2025
So we return to The Truth About Collision Investigation. In Part 2 we focus on one case and show how reports and “interpretations” from the police left our client facing jail time if found guilty.
Subrogated Claim
17 Jul 2025
As a perk of my job, I get health insurance. Two years ago I got knocked off my SV1000 and shattered my elbow, and liability was admitted straight away, and we are now at the stage where we are trying to settle my claim.
Iced Bump
10 Jul 2025
I live out in the sticks and have never owned a car so I ride motorcycles to get to work whether it’s sunny, raining or snowing.
Test Ride Insurance
03 Jul 2025
It’s been a pretty poo year for my family after we lost my Dad. Thereafter, my husband and I split up and are just finalising the divorce.
Rainbow Warrior
26 Jun 2025
Whilst summer is now a distant memory, me and the Mrs are not against a bit of winter riding, even in the rain (and sometimes the snow!) despite it being wet, me and my wife were making a trip to a nearby stately home to see the Christmas lights.
