Does jet washing your bike do more harm than good?
I’ve started using the local jet wash to keep the Ninja clean and in order. It’s a fast and easy way to keep the winter dirt at bay but I wonder if prolonged use could cause more harm than good?
My Dad always said “don’t ever jet wash your engine boy, you’ll ... Continue reading

Britain’s extreme weather strikes again!
For the second time this year ive got up in the morning, gone to leave for work and found this sitting in my garden.

Read how this little wire can change your biking life forever!
We’ve all been there, trying to wrap up warm before heading out on the bike in the freezing cold. Last winter I was wearing a thermal under suit, Jeans, three t-shirts and then a winter jacket and trousers over the top. This winter looks to be just as cold as last ... Continue reading

Getting mucky on the big Beemer
The news that the Met Office officially lied about it being a 'barbeque summer' should hardly comes as news, but it hurts nonetheless. Bastards. The Adventure and I have been celebrating by getting up to our axles in mud and snot.
There's some great off-roading near my gaff, so of an evening ... Continue reading
Do you own Kawasaki's sport-touring GTR? Have you tried Dunlop's excellent Roadsmart tyre on your bike? Let me know
After another three months and 6000 miles on the big Kawasaki the GTR’s second pair of Bridgestones is finished. As usual the front’s fine but the A1’s dual-carriageway monotony has squared off the rear. Road cambers and white lines now send the bike all over the place while the steering’s become ...
