I crashed after my brake stuck on. What can I do?
05 Mar 2026
I have recently bought an old Suzuki GSX-R1100 having wanted one since I was a child. I love a classic sportsbike, and while the engine is solid and dependable, the bike was owned by someone who had suffered sudden hearing loss and had resultant balance problems. The knock-on from that was he dropped it on […]

I live in the Peak District, and I’ve seriously got into green lane riding over the past few years. I’m now working my way through the Trans Euro Trail (TET) which has been fantastic and, like a lot of riders, instead of having a dedicated SatNav I use my smartphone mounted on the handlebars. I […]

Who’s A Solicitor?

I was riding home on my Kove 800X when a van pulled out from a minor road to my left, directly in front of me. I had no chance of stopping and t-boned him, losing 3 teeth, fracturing my spine and pelvis and breaking 3 ribs. Christmas isn’t looking too good but I’m still here […]

I am firmly of the view that the MAMIL is the biggest threat to us bikers. As you will be aware, this is an acronym for the “Middle-Aged Man In Lycra” who ride bicycles. They are the scourge of the earth round our parts riding three abreast and wreaking havoc. Anyway, a few weeks ago, […]

I crashed on a bag of plaster left in the road. Can I claim against anyone?
29 Jan 2026
I was riding on a damp and drizzly autumn day last year. There was still some light, and as I went around a bend in a line of traffic moving at about 40mph on a moderately sharp bend (the traffic is calmed from 60mph to 40mph for this bend) my bike shot out from underneath […]

My frame’s failed out of warranty. What can I do?
22 Jan 2026
I bought a bike, brand new, from a franchised dealer. Crash bungs were fitted by them but oddly I cannot find an invoice for these. Shortly after the warranty expired, the frame started to crack – and obviously the bike is unrideable.

My bike was knocked over in a parking bay by a car driver. The driver left contact details on my bike and with the supermarket, which also captured the whole thing on CCTV, so no major problems. But I seem to have entered a nightmare world. I phoned my insurer, and the call was answered […]

A car wash dropped my bike and my insurer won’t pay. I’m at my wit’s end
08 Jan 2026
I took my 2022 Husqvarna Norden 901 to my local ‘cash-only’ car wash after a bit of mud plugging. I’ve been going there for years and the lads know not to jet wash linkages and bearings on filthy bikes. The lad who always likes cleaning my bike zoned in on me, we had a chat, […]
