Colin McRae loves bikes. Plain and simple. When he's not doing three figure silly speeds on tarmac, sand, gravel or even snow and ice, he can normally be found having fun on two wheels. It's reassuring for all bikers to know that one of the world

rarely get recognised. Gracie did a dance recital the other day and another one of the dads recognised me. He was like 'Oh my god, you're Colin Edwards! This is so freaky dude!' Anyways, me and the family are heading out to Jackson, Wyoming, and I

Second place is still up for grabsWith all the travelling I do, I get kinda freaked out by what time zone I'm in or what the hell I'm doing - sleeping, riding, eating, farting, etc. Things aren't helped by doing a column for TWO. No, don't worry, I like telling you all what I'm u...

They call this 'adapting your riding style'The season's over and I'm sure looking forward to the next one. We've realised that the problem I've been having is down to my riding style - all the issues during the season were with weight distribution and how I sit on the bike. The t...

Fastest in Free Practice, struggling in the raceDeadlines being what they are, I'm talking to you from Le Mans, where I've just set the fastest time in free practice with the M1 looking good. The last couple of races themselves have had their ups and downs though. So we turn up i...

Lagune Seca ... Hayden cleaned upSo we're in Las Vegas a couple of days after Laguna Seca and we're all completely wasted in a super-stretched Hummer which seats about 20 people. Me, Pete my motorhome driver, some girls from the team, Alyssia and Valentino and some of his guys ar...

Edwards ... Struggling at the Sachsenring German GPI could have done with better going into the summer break - which I hear will be almost over by the time you read this, but what the hell. At Sachsenring it just wasn't happening. We changed some things but the bike never seemed ...
