The best race circuit in the world
I’ve been lucky enough to ride and race at quite a few race circuits in the UK and abroad, and because of that, I quite often get asked which my favourite one is. Now if I’m being totally honest, my favourite place to ride a motorcycle in the whole... Read more
The noise cameras are coming for you…
They’ve got cameras to catch you speeding, running red lights and borrowing bus lanes… and now, they’re getting noise cameras to prosecute you for having a noisy bike (or car).

You’ve got Suzuki leading the Teams Championship, Ducati leading the Manufacturers Championship and now, after the latest round in Argentina, an Aprilia rider leading the Riders Championship. That rider is Aleix Espargaro. He was one of three Spaniards... Read more
Should new drivers be made to ride a moped for six months?
According to Brake, the road safety charity, one in five drivers crash within a year of passing their test. They also say that over 1,500 young drivers are seriously injured, or worse, on UK roads every year. So what can be done about it? Well it’s difficult to argue... Read more
Why motorcyclists make excellent drivers
Not every motorcyclist is an excellent driver. Some of us are rubbish, but I’d say the majority of us are really good at it. Let’s face it, we motorbike boys and girls are good at most things, but in particular, we’re good at driving. But what makes us so... Read more
Classic Motorcycles | I finally get it.
