Southern Comfort - Sussex Touring
By Luke Ponsford on 04/11/2010 16:03:52
The mighty V-Rod takes a day off for a leisurely jaunt around Sussex - the ideal place for bendy roads, tasty scenery and oddly-named ale
in the countryside. In fact, the biggest dangers you're likely to encounter are those posed by the countless numbers of tweed-wearing octogenarians trickling blindly out of junctions and the frequent flashing interruptions of ambulances rushing their fellow

Is motorcycle racing too dangerous?
By Visordown on 29/11/2007 13:18:15
After the recent tragic death in BSB, are we complacent about track safety in the UK or do we just have to accept that these accidents are part of bike racing
It is a sad fact of racing that some accidents prove to be fatal. It's one of those things we have to accept. Possibly the tragic accident at Mallory wouldn't have happened had there been more run off in that area, but there can't be anymore run

By Warren Pole on 02/12/2010 15:58:08
Mettet's end-of-season all-star supermoto knees-up is a must-see event. Wozza went one step further and entered the thing. Did he win? Did he hell

By James Whitham on 15/10/2006 10:48:28

In Search of the Gotland Ring
By John Cantlie on 20/10/2010 12:41:19
Sweden. Home to Volvos and Saabs, Viggens and Vikings, preposterously expensive beer and – quite frankly – the most beautiful women on earth. ll in all, possibly the last place on earth that you’d expect anyone to build a brand new racetrack in Europe
We did a feature called ‘the Secret Circuits of Europe’. There at the top of the list was a place called the Gotland Ring. It looked fascinating. Built on the island of Gotland 50 miles east of the Swedish mainland in the frigid Baltic sea

600 Evolution 1985 - 2003
By Stuart Barker on 04/07/2003 09:08:16
The Rise and Rise of the 600
Sometimes, less really is more. Take 600cc supersports bikes for example. Your mate down the pub may rant on about the fact that his R1 or his GSX-R1000 enjoys 400ccs more than your middleweight machine but does that mean he has any more fun than
