The GSX-R Factor
By Bertie Simmonds on 26/05/2010 12:03:29
GSX-R. No other machine has had the impact on motorcycling in the last 30 years than those four letters have. But what has made the GSX-R so great?
the sexiest capacity of sportsbike.And to top it all off it gave us a multitude of bizarre and confusing acronyms such as SRAD, SACS, SCAI, SCEM, SOL-AIR, DAIS, DIAS, PDF, DOP, NEAS, MR-ALBOX and TSCC (Do you know them all? Answers on the last page).But only

Readers Rides: Lap of Sussex
By Andy Gray on 30/10/2006 17:18:12
Andy Gray works as an IT consultant in central London and commutes on a Buell X1 Lightning. This is his favourite summer run to escape the rat race and take in the delights of the south coast
must) I make Brighton my lunch stop. Brighton has just about everything for every taste, from the bizarre to the downright odd. The pier is a giggle and fish and chips on the front is a must - as is some cake.On the A283, homeward bound, the scenery

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)
.The school supplies trials boots, helmets and, most importantly, Scorpa 125 four-stroke trials bikes - 68kg of the most bizarre form of motorbike I have ever ridden. You start off doing some manoeuvring exercises on the flat to get a feel for the controls

The calculating German
By Don Morley on 26/05/2010 15:57:43
German 250cc GP sensation Toni Mang upset the Honda applecart with a masterful display of riding
Anton (Toni) Mang was, bizarrely enough, a child film star when he was a nipper. He then became a German and European downhill skiing champion and all this before he took up motorcycle racing. He started, like a lot of others did in those days

Over the Hill - Red Marley Hill Climb
By John Hogan on 02/12/2010 16:22:49
They might be old but the bikes and riders at the Red Marley freak hill climb are still in their prime
interesting bikes to check out I didn't really know where to start. The names on the petrol-tanks were bizarre: Walwin, Cheney Jawa, Luckhurst Jap, Tribsa. All of these were new to me and it felt great to not know everything about every bike like I'd expect

Indian Takeaway - Enduro India
By John Cantlie on 29/06/2005 12:46:44
If you need a break from the drudgery of working life, if you want to ride a bike in a place where traffic laws are non-existent and you can do pretty much whatever you want, well, you need to go to India
wearing a bizarre mix of motocross body-armour, cheap open-face helmets, cargo pants, knee pads and Hawaiian shirts. It's like the extras in Magnum: PI stumbled onto the set of Death Race 2000 and decided to stay. Even at this hour of the morning

Living with a 2001 Aprilia Caponord
By Giles Butcher on 26/02/2002 12:05:19
Giles Butcher, who? Talks about owning an Aprilia Caponord
structure is up to it.I'm less optimistic about using my soft luggage on the Capo as there is a frustrating lack of bungee hooks - I suspect Aprilia would like me to purchase their own brand of luggage. Also bizarre is the light switch which has dip and main

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...
-planted into the next dune and began to question what I was doing. The whole thing felt bizarre, like being a spectator with a really close-up view of what was going on. I crashed and laughed my way round a few corners until I was faced with the mother of all dunes, so
