Hogan's Heroes: Track Virgin
By John Hogan on 31/10/2007 14:44:31
Mission 4: Pop track cherry
(lift your arse, move across the seat then place it back down rather than sliding across). Track sessions run in 20-minute blocks which may not sound like much, but when you consider that over the time I was there I racked up around 320 miles on track

The White Helmets motorcycle display team
By John Hogan on 22/10/2010 11:37:08
The White Helmets display team have been entertaining kids at military tattoos for over 90 years. But in this day of psycho freestylers aren’t they just relics, a total anachronism?
Streethawk, doing skids on my BMX and seeing how fast my new trainers made me run. A typical family day out back then was the Rhine Army Summer Show, a Military Tattoo for forces families living in Germany. Every year we would traipse round the stands

KTM Supermoto Versus 250cc SuperKart
By John Hogan on 17/11/2010 12:30:17
Two wheels versus four wheels challenge. only with a difference. In the orange corner a rampant KTM Supermoto. And in the red corner is a vicious little 250cc superkart. the location was Lydd, the weather terrible, who would win in a five lap race
. After three warm up laps Ady very nearly put his bike back on the truck, “I am not risking my own personal safety for a race against a go-kart,” he hissed. “There is absolutely no grip out there whatsoever.” I pretended I couldn’t hear him, told him he

Riding the Weston Beach Race
By John Hogan on 06/01/2007 10:51:36
The Weston Beach Race is gnarly. Always cold and wet, it's three miles of knee-deep sand and 1000 dirt bike loons. For three hours. Hogan the Innocent thought he stood a chance...
, with the top men apparently allowed to go whenever they felt like it. I sat on the Yamaha's tail light, just like I'd seen people do in photos, and pinned it. Look! I'm a beach racer!The first corner was still busy when I got there so I hung back and watched

By John Hogan on 12/02/2009 20:33:30
Following on from a feature in this month's TWO. Check out this video of BMW's Anti-Slip Control
another 10BHP and 9.6lb-ft of torque with it. BMW have done a cracking job of integrating great features from other bikes in the BMW range into this new machine. The quirky quick shifter I first experienced on the HP2 Sport has found its way onto

Which era was the best?
By John Hogan on 29/11/2010 09:20:57
Everyone reckons their generation of biking was the best. From the 1960s when rockers ruled to the 1990s when Exups and Blades did battle on the roads, we ask the bikers who were there about the Golden Age
– than any degradation of quality of life, but in some respects things really were better back then. You never hear it more than within motorcycling; every generation reckons their time was the best and that things ain’t what they used to be. So we

Hogan's Heroes: Trials Riding
By John Hogan on 05/11/2007 14:09:12
Britain's most popular form of bikesport has just got one more fan. We put Hogan on trial. Verdict? Guilty (of being rubbish)
in the back of the garage all winter suddenly start to ache and pump. Pretty soon you will find yourself ascending and descending slopes that you would struggle to get up on foot. In between bottles of water and fags I realised that my balance was actually

the correct posture required (stood up, straight legs, arms slightly bent and looking up all the time). You definitely need some level of stamina as the position you have to hold to get things right will be alien to most, and muscles that have been in the back

A Different League - Valentino Rossi
By John Hogan on 14/04/2010 14:15:56
Through exclusive interviews with the people who know and race against him, we get inside the mind of the greatest motorcycle racer the world has ever seen
the Overlook hotel from The Shining. And it is right here, just after midnight, that Rossi reconciled himself to one of the most monumental decisions in the history of MotoGP: the reigning world champion was turning his back on Honda and their dream machine
