The Editor sets out on his adventure across Lesotho with the celebs of the Get On Africa team
It's not every day you get to bomb around a field that was set aside for The Pope but that's exactly what we've done this morning; the first proper day of our Get On Africa adventure.
We started the morning at the Riders for Health workshop where the mechanics took us through ... Continue reading

1 owner, under 1,000 miles in 24 years
I spotted this GSX-R1100 G on motorcycle sales website www.classic-motorbikes.com
Having covered just 895 miles form new and with only 1 owner, it is 100% original and in timewarp condition. The price? Just over £10,000. Lovely, if you've got that sort of cash to throw around.

If Kawasaki's traction control worked like my GoPro, I'd be in hospital right now..
I've been playing around with video cameras in the office here for a good year with varying degress of success.
The GoPro we use is great - when it's behaving. But I've had too many sessions where it doesn't like the SD card I fed it, the batteries die as you're leaving ... Continue reading
A year ago it would have looked totally weird for a Ducati. Now the Diavel's out, it's less so..
Only a select number of people know how long Ducati have been working on the Diavel. Let's guess 3 years.
Funny then, that I came across this interesting Ducati custom on t'interweb yesterday. Created by Moto Frisoli Racing a Ducati Dealer in South Africa, they claimed it's the fruit of three and ... Continue reading
Yum..
Really this sort of thing is Forsyth's thing. Although I'm probably wrong saying that and the old man will berate me for posting pictures of a Ducati with a bastardised engine. That it may be, but it's a serious bit of handywork...
Housed in a Ducati 900 chassis, it features a custom-built ... Continue reading

The actual race footage is edited by Soares from the Standard ... Continue reading
It get the message home...
I came across this advert on my travels. It's from Portugal and it's quite good. Get the message home without being too blatant. Now, who can name the bike? Continue reading
Losail's easy. If you know it like the back of your hand..
When I go to a new track I don't really have a set way of trying to learn it, do you?
Some people study YouTube clips, others dig out the PlayStation. I usually stick to a couple of gears for the first couple of sessions and work on my braking points, taking ... Continue reading
Interesting artwork shows how the Tiger 800 was born
It's a fairly common practice for manufacturers to retrospectively draw 'concept sketches' of their models, but never the less, these concept sketches of the Tiger 800 are interesting.
You can also see the clay models of the original bike and the chassis being developed for the original test mule. Do you prefer ... Continue reading
I wondered what would happen to those welded pillion footpegs in a spill...
I've just come back to the hotel after our first day riding the Tiger 800 with the other Brit journos. One of the journos (who shall remain nameless, but alas, it wasn't me) crashed at low speed.
Pictured here is his bike. There's light damage to the bar end, brake lever, mirror ... Continue reading
