TT Centenary: 100 years on the gas
By Jonathan Bentman on 13/05/2007 11:46:17
The TT is more than just a hairy, scary motorcycle race. It's a celebration of biking, an island-bound two-wheeled world where nothing else matters but motorcycling
That a motorcycle can circulate a racetrack at an average speed of 130mph would be quite shocking even in the fast moving world of MotoGP. That the circuit in question is instead a collection of public roads bounded by walls, schools, cottages

Three And A Half Grand Secondhand Steel
By Jon Urry on 14/10/2007 15:22:12
With the unlikely premise of £3500 fast burning holes in their pockets, four TWO teamsters are buying second-hand steel. It's head v hearts all the way
, no question as to the condition and certainly no nagging doubts over whether it's been crashed. Not so with second-hand. There's something very primal about buying a second-hand bike that engages the hunter-gatherer in us. Buy well and you'll be the envy

Road Test: Beaujolais Or Bust
By Warren Pole, Colin Goodwin, Adam Harvey, Martin Heath on 22/04/2008 22:24:08
Four men, four bikes, one quest - to bring home the firstbottle of Beaujolais Nouveau 2004 to British shores. The question isn't 'Why?', it's 'Why not?' Allez!
to secure a superior machine. So when Harvey foolishly left the Trumpet key on his desk as we chatted I palmed it fast, swapping it for the Duke item. Job done.Dastardly you may say, but as this was to be a Wacky Races styled event, and as I was Dick
