This bloke needs to ditch the car and get a bike

Belgian OAP slides his Fiat Panda into the smallest garage in the world ...like a glove. Hilarious!

Credit to this old gent for getting his miniscule car into his micro garage but we can't help thinking; wouldn't it be easier to ditch the car and get a bike?

The moment Vermeulen lost me £20

The curse of Ben Cope strikes again. If you're a racer, watch out.

Chris Vermeulen didn't have the most successful first round back in World Superbikes, crashing out of both races. And I probably cursed him. The odds of Vermeulen winning a race - according to Coral - were 80/1 so I thought I'd have a punt on him. If it rained, then maybe ...  Continue reading

Tyre warmers for the daily commute

Well, they're lying in my garage and haven't seen any action recently, so...

Ducati's Streetfighter is a serious bit of kit. It's actually perfect for my daily commute, if not, slightly extravagant. It's narrow, nimble and precise. The engine's packing so much punch, you can scythe your way through the tiniest of gaps at a moment's notice.

The Pirelli Diablo III Corsa tyres are impressive ...  Continue reading

Live from the Ducati Hypermotard 1100 EVO launch

The UK contingent have touched down in Sardinia, wired on espresso and bloated from airport pizza

I'm out in Sardinia for the launch of Ducati's Hypermotard 1100 EVO. I can't wait.

I'm knackered from the transfers, been up since 5am and haven't helped myself by necking an espresso at every opportunity. Now it's come-down time!

So Ducati have updated the Hypermotard 1100, and in the meantime they've launched a ...  Continue reading

I'm on a Goodwood Revival comedown

I'd been to the Festival of Speed but hadn't quite prepared myself for the Revival spectacle

I'm on a massive comedown after a great weekend at Goodwood Revival. The Revival relives the glory days of the 50s and 60s and that's not just marketing hype, almost everyone is dressed in perios clothing, the cars are all from 1948 to 1966 and the effort that goes into setting ...  Continue reading

Cycling with headphones? You deserve to crash

If you don't look after yourself on the road, don't expect others to either

You may have made your mind up about this piece already, seeing as I'm the Ed of a motorcycling website, you'd expect my views to be totally biased towards motorcyclists and against everyone else. We minorities always stick together, right? Wrong.

I love cycling, I respect people who want to get into ...  Continue reading

SHARP ratings: who cares? These guys don't

Do you need the latest race-rep £500 lid? Not if you're from Trinidad

Who needs SHARP ratings when you've got a bucket and a builder's hard hat? Not these guys, clearly. It's good to know they've got what looks like a proper lid protecting the bike's clocks - you don't want to damage those..

I wonder how long you could ride around the streets here ...  Continue reading
