By John Cantlie on 01/12/2010 14:47:03
15 years ago when VHS ruled the world, a team of renegade dirt racers were inventing impossible new tricks that changed biking forever. They rode hard, crashed like hell and got it all down on film. They were the Crusty Demons of Dirt…
couldn’t believe my eyes, 60 minutes of jaw-dropping riding action shot in exotic locations and set to a blasting dirt-rock soundtrack. I was road test editor on SuperBike magazine at the time and thought I was pretty shit-hot on a bike

By Harriet Ridley, Alex Hearn, Tim Dickson on 23/02/2008 15:05:39

TWO head to France to test out the Honda CBR1000RR, Kawasaki ZX-10R, Suzuki GSX-R1000 K5 and Yamaha YZF-R1.

Andy Hogan and John Stevens share a 2009 Kawasaki ZX-6R for a year. Here's their review
with one for more than a couple of weeks. I’m looking forward to seeing if they are as hard to live with as I have always presumed they are.Initial riding impressions are impressive. It feels so smooth for a 600 and it’s got midrange too, making it feel

your next dinner date at McDonald's.Which is a problem, because my own status as a wine connoisseur is roughly similar to that of the local tramp swigging a bottle of screw top on a park bench. Beyond the basics I am, frankly, lost. Drinking wine

No peace for the wicked: Just a week after Mugello, MotoGP hits Barcelona. We can only hope for a race as good as last year.

5,000 miles in Scandinavia by Lois Fast-Lane

By Warren Pole, Colin Goodwin, Adam Harvey, Martin Heath on 22/04/2008 22:24:08
Four men, four bikes, one quest - to bring home the firstbottle of Beaujolais Nouveau 2004 to British shores. The question isn't 'Why?', it's 'Why not?' Allez!
