‘Blade update
03 Mar 2009
Howdy all, I hope everyone survived the snow in February okay. As you may all know I decided to splash out a an ’08 Fireblade last year. 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 […]

Tom-Tom Version 1 and Version 2 V Garmin Zumo 550
13 Feb 2009
I am an all year round rider and I have now had three motorcycle satellite navigation systems. The first was the Tom-Tom version 1, which packed up after less than a year. The software was brilliant, the mapping was excellent. Unfortunately the build quality was rubbish, and I gave up on this.

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 […]

26 Sep 2008
I was riding to work on my old Honda Translap, headlight on, filtering around the outside of stationery traffic at less than 10mph, according to witnesses.
Exhaust Issues
13 Sep 2008
Can I make my exhaust pipes which are marked ‘not for highway use’ legal by putting baffles in them and then getting the bike re-MOT’d? Answer No, sorry, even though what you are doing is perfectly sensible, because you would have a quiet bike, the offence is riding a motorcycle on the road with cans […]
Going Dutch?
I have an ongoing claim which is being dealt with by solicitors. I’ve been left with severe pain in my lower back as a result of an accident, and it stops me working. I’ve been for my medical appointment, and the defendant’s insurers are now asking for access to my medical records, but there are […]

Dirty Droppings
13 Aug 2008
I was riding my Blade out on a warm summers evening when I came round what was a blind bend at a fairly decent speed, nothing too fast and I was well under control, when my bike shot out from underneath me. I had no real idea what had happened until I stopped rolling, touched […]

Defective Bike

I recently purchased a bike from a local dealer. About two weeks later I was coming back from a ride in the countryside when all of a sudden the electrics went and everything was pitched into darkness, as there were no street lights around.

We attended the South West Bike Show on the 21st & 22nd June 2008 at the Bath & West Showground, Shepton Mallet. Saturday was a bit quiet and the weather didn’t help by being wet. Sunday was a much better day with warmer weather and lots of visitors. It was a very friendly show and […]
