Snowjob

...the secret is in the lean

Is the current weather causing your commute a bit of problem? Sounds like a job for the Snowjob.

Pictured here using a Kawasaki, the Snowjob conversion system turns your motorcycle into a jumping, wheelieing snowcycle in less than four hours. Derek Hine designed the Snowjob back in '73, but it looks like it could be ...  Continue reading

18 of us are killed or seriously injured each day

An open letter to the IAM

I've just read a press release from the IAM and it leaves me with mixed opinions. What is it really saying?

The press releases says that: "1,690 motorcyclists were killed or seriously injured in July to September 2011. This means 18 motorcyclists were killed or seriously injured every day between July to ...  Continue reading

Enjoy some carbon fibre MotoGP test bikes

Stealth black MotoGP prototypes

One of the best things about pre-season testing, apart from the building hype for the upcoming season, are the MotoGP machines looking downright mean in plain carbon fibre and without the corporate colours of their sponsors.

Here are a selection of some of the bikes from the last three days of MotoGP ...  Continue reading

This. Is. Commitment.

Sepang testing style check

It may only be the first test session of 2012 but from the times it is clear that everyone is still chasing Casey Stoner.

This corner in particular is infamous for capturing riders sliding the rear, as demonstrated by Valentino Rossi, but on his quest for record-breaking laptimes Stoner has carved it ...  Continue reading

Pit Biking; good clean fun for all the family

The Mackenzie family is hooked

If you haven’t tried Pit Biking yet, you’re missing out on some incredible fun, and it won’t break the bank. The majority of pit bikes are of Chinese origin and I guess, are best described as modern day monkey bikes. Yes Chinese, and I’ve witnessed them being thrashed round all day long ...  Continue reading

Remember Microprose's GP500?

The ultimate GP500 setup.

Remember GP500? Still to this day the best motorcycle racing sim, I reckon. If you're on a budget, you can grab a copy for your PC and relive the old days. There's a fairly large community of fans who've grafted updated bikes into the game so you can wobble around on ...  Continue reading

Foggy Rep 916SPS number 001 for sale

..with a ridiculous asking price

There's no denying this 916SPS Foggy Rep is gorgeous, but is it £42,000 gorgeous?

Ok, so this is number 001, with Foggy himself having number 002 but I'm still not sure what makes this worth £42,000.

I struggle when it comes to the prices of some old classics - just how do you ...  Continue reading

Tested: W2 4 Dirt Adventure Boots

Fancy a bit of brown Suede? We do!

How waterproof are these boots? well at the end of a days off-roading the best way to get them clean is with the jetwash, that’s how waterproof. They are sturdy too, the internal injection moulded plastic protectors line the whole leg and ankle section. Whilst being suportive they are not as restrictive ...  Continue reading

Tested: Held Adventure rucksack

Ripstop construction with a 22 ltr capacity but is it durable?

This is the new Held Adventure rucksack. The first two weeks of its life were spent as a beach bag during a two week holiday in Cuba. The 22litre capacity was more than big enough for beach towels, packed lunches and a bucket and spade - I’m still finding sand now!

Throughout ...  Continue reading
