By Bertie Simmonds on 11/11/2010 11:36:45
It's a rule of thumb in racing that you have to beat your team-mate. And to beat him, you must employ every method at your disposal. Delve into the world of when the team-mate system goes wrong
up even more. By 2000 I was getting to feel so pleased for Neil Hodgson's success at GSE it was what made me realise I had to quit. You can't like your team-mate too much!"Former BSB champ Hislop is an enigma. He was one of the greatest talents

By Ben Cope on 18/04/2013 20:47:00
We test Pirelli's new touring tyre on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier and at the Nardo test track. Can a pure touring tyre really deal with an R1 on track?
offers 30% more mileage than the Angel ST. Based on some sums on the back of a beermat and depending on your riding, you're looking at anything between 5,000 and 8,000 miles.Essentially it's an Angel ST with better wear and wet weather characteristics

Six riders attempt to crack the illusive 200mph barrier at Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground
and rides a BMW R1150LT. Underneath this sensible demeanour, however, lurks the mind of a former speed freak. When he was 23 he owned a ZZR1100, and he "used to ride for no other reason than to ride fast," he admits. "Now the bike is more an extension of my
