Teenage Kicks
By Warren Pole on 01/04/2005 12:11:08
Grubby oiks on the rob, or the very future of motorcycling? Wozza hunts out the kids on scooters to find out
and I had him. Er, now what? A garbled explanation of what I was doing only confused matters, while my waving gestures once we were on the move again didn't seem to help either but, somehow, we ended up at the roadside and I had a chance to explain what

Ducati's Hypermotard goes toe-to-toe with KTM and Buell through the vicious twists and turns of a Championship hill-climb event in Wiltshire

Road Test: BMW K1200R
By Warren Pole on 27/04/2008 21:48:52
It's big, it's weird looking and it doesn't have any clothes on. Oh yes, and it's very, very fast. Are BMW about to take the naked bruiser class by storm?
. In Spanish. Bugger. I could book a hotel room, ask for a receipt and almost certainly ask for directions to the station, but explain that BM's power figure is measured at the crank and although probably correct it'll be a lot lower by the time it gets

Speeding: Roadside and courtroom manners
By Warren Pole on 11/08/2010 15:45:49
Not that you'll ever need this lot of course, but just in case here's how to make the best of a bad situation. After more tugs than I can count and nine court appearances here's what I've learned
.If you could be facing a ban, an employer's letter explaining how you need your licence for your job (if you do) and how you'll lose that job if you lose said licence doesn't hurt either.After this all you can do is sit back and wait for four strangers

Think Fast
By Warren Pole on 24/06/2009 17:11:32
Lighter and faster with every passing year, modern superbikes rock, but getting the best out of them without ending up in the undergrowth needs some serious skill. Here are the basics
in an undignified manner because no matter how fast their bike can propel them between corners, there's a limit to how quickly their abilities can actually get around said curve. The way to avoid this problem is to give yourself time. I'll let Mark explain. "Too
