By Niall Mackenzie on 29/03/2008 14:40:18
There are certain things you remember in life. Where you were when Kennedy was shot (I was on the potty), your first sexual experience (no comment) or when you rode your first Blade.

would save all my dirty ear plugs then wash them in a sock. His reply to that was, ‘that’s because you are and and always will be, tight’. Fair comment.

Five minutes with Neil Hodgson
By Niall Mackenzie on 14/12/2011 20:36:36
Burnley's world champ has a new hobby - working.
Commentating on Eurosport, demo riding at bike shows, instructing on track days and being the Ducati 848 Challenge ambassador are just a few of the jobs that keep Neil Hodgson amused these days. Last week I tripped over the 2003 World Superbike

Fast cars, Clarkson, tea breaks and trackdays

Bike racing's going one-make mad, and that's a good thing. Meanwhile, headmaster Mackenzie intends to rule the class of 2007 with a rod of iron. No talking at the back
with yours truly commentating on how you look like the new Haga. I have a personal interest in the Virgin R6 Cup as I've agreed to take the pressure off Rob Mac and look after these youngsters for 2007. I'll be around on every test and race weekend to help

Ex-Grandprix legend turned super-fast roadtester Niall Mackenziecalls in a very expensive favour while hoping there’s no poetic justice
Burns I know.I can’t comment on the women and whisky, although I suspect he may have had his moments in an earlier life, but I do know this modern day Burns is as obsessed with bikes as the one from the past was with words.A hard-grafting, successful

Road Test: Suzuki GSX-R1000K5
By Niall Mackenzie on 24/04/2008 21:05:24
Probably lighter, certainly faster, but is it any better? Definitely. Niall Mackenzie rides the new GSX-R1000 at Eastern Creek.
, the first thing that catches your eye is the chunky silencer. There have been a lot of comments about this and, while it isn't at the top of my list of favourite exhausts, I've got to say anything is better than the standard aluminium dustbin that bikes
