Aerostich Roadcrafter
02 May 2009
It is a pity you can only buy these suits in the US or import them as a personal import because for a commuter or someone who has to wear a suit they are brilliant. My Roadcrafter is plain black, and is pretty waterproof but won’t withstand a biblical deluge. However even in monsoon like conditions […]

Taking The Ureic?

As a mature rider, I keep in touch with club sites and what bikers have to say. I noted a problem of unprovoked front wheel slides at modest speeds on gentle bends kept coming up on the Fazer owners’ club forum.
Parents guide to kitting out a teenager on a scooter or learner bike
24 Mar 2009
If you are a parent who is reading this because your son or daughter is getting a scooter or their first small motorbike and you are terrified, read on. You know your own kid, but rather than make a confrontation of it, maybe controlling the risks is a better plan.
Number Plate
23 Mar 2009
I have a one line number plate on my bike but the letters are of the required height and dimensions. I have still been stopped and told that I will be prosecuted for it. Is this right?
Motorcycle Training Matters
21 Mar 2009
Ok I got the short straw I get to drive the HUGE White Dalton bus across to a show in Dunstable instead of riding my bike BOO!!! The upside is the show promises to be good and it is local to home.

Corrosion!

Everthing was going swimmingly for the first 150 miles or so but then the tyres suddenly seemed to go off, especially when going into a right-hander, which resulted […]

Knee Down Action
13 Dec 2008
I was riding my bike along a quiet Country road, when a smooth fast right-hander just begged me to gun round it. I cracked my R6 nicely open, got myself into a good position, then dug my knee in. I managed to hit the cats-eyes with my knee, but that didn’t unsettle me, I was […]
Grating in the Road
13 Oct 2008
Recently I was out on a ride in an area I do not know very well. I was riding carefully around a few bends, and all of a sudden I was thrown from my bike because of a metal grating across the road that was loose and rocking on its axis. I have since checked […]
