We asked you to name the things that shame biking. You weren't backward in coming forward
316, you adventurer you!Rim TapeYou can’t help it if your bike comes with rim tape as standard but if you’re one of those people who decides every last bit of their bike has to be the same colour as the paintwork and you actually buy rim tape and spend

Discuss: Can girls be fast competent riders
By Visordown on 21/10/2009 12:19:00
Can girls be fast, competent riders, or do they lack the basic skills to ride quick and safe? This hot potato copped us a load of flak, so join in!
. And if the bike is not small enough, it can instill nervousness.Taff107Women can ride like idiots, they can ride well, or they can be somewhere in the middle. Look at your 200mph Feature - won by a woman. Blokes probably have more of an issue with ego and showing

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
too sensible variety that Honda made prior to the RRY. Then I spotted a 2001 Suzuki GSX-R750 in Alstare colours. I used to race one of these and it was fantastic. But the condition wasn't top notch and there were too many owners' modifications

Don't Look Back in Anger
By Bertie Simmonds on 14/08/2001 15:53:42
Four people who have had family members killed in racing, but have dealt with their loss and carried on in the sport that they love
put in little touches that mum and dad would have loved. Lee had a suit in the colours of the team, and I wanted to go wearing my team gear of team-shirt and trousers. Then I realised what mum would have said, about looking professional. So I wore a

The Ramp
By John Cantlie on 22/10/2010 16:19:05
Surely there's never been a more insane idea than freestyle motocross
my doing. Alex and myself have done any number of off-road features in the past for various bike mags - it's something we've both always loved - but this is different. Freestyle motocross. Nac-nacs. Heel Clickers. Candy Bars. Confused? Don't be - all

Living with a 2001 Kawasaki ZX-12R
By Mark Shippey on 26/05/2002 13:45:45
Too tall Mark goes for equally leggy ZX-12R. Match made in heaven?
seize the moment before she walks out of your life for good. What began as a one-night stand was moving towards marriage and kids - I wanted to paint her in WSB colours and try out a Laser WSB system.Still pissed at the crap tank range after 9 months

Riding Enduro Africa
By John Cantlie on 29/11/2005 16:09:55
2500 kilometres, 10days, 5blokes, 5bikes, 1 ginormous continent...and a broken foot
Christ my body hurts. My left foot is broken in two places, swollen horribly and coloured black and green from bruising. My left thumb has been wrenched so far back that it's barely mobile, and I have a bloody wound on my throat the size of a walnut

Living with a 2001 Kawasaki ZX-6R
By Gus Scott on 26/04/2002 11:45:59
Gus Scott the man, the legend, a ladies man and a very tight northerner indeed. And he was very fast on a motorcycle
, along with the colour matched seat hump which keeps pillions off so I can use the bike the way nature intended. Next I'm going to make some alterations and have some fun on a trackday and see if it really does need anything else done to it.First I've got

Class of '80
By Simon Bowen on 07/09/2009 17:22:25
It’s early 1980 and the threat of the four-stroke invasion hangs heavy in the air. Yamaha and Suzuki have been slugging it out for two years in what may be the final fling for the air-cooled strokers
Ronald Reagan was getting ready to move his old film posters into the White House, only days before he was driven stark raving mad by a multi-coloured puzzle. The Rubix Cube became the stocking filler of the decade and hit the stores in the same year

World In Motion
By Harriet Ridley, Alex Hearn, Tim Dickson on 23/02/2008 15:05:39
Travel by car and you're watching a movie. Travel by bike and you're in the movie. Which is reason enough in our book to hit the road for a touring holiday. The question is, how do you want to do it?
: you can be looking at the thick end of £1200 or more.There is a cheaper option that will adapt to pretty much any bike. The Garmin Quest is a small, waterproof GPS unit with a full colour display, street level mapping of the UK and parts of Europe
