By John Hogan on 05/11/2007 14:09:12
Britain's most popular form of bikesport has just got one more fan. We put Hogan on trial. Verdict? Guilty (of being rubbish)
Potential: If I hum the theme tune to Kickstart while riding it'll be okay Reality: Outta my way Lampkin... Or I'll knock you off as I crash. Again What I learned: Throttle control, balance and slow speed controlI always thoughtI had reasonable throttle control until I went trial...

Debate: Do we put too much pressure on British racers?
By Visordown on 01/07/2008 13:33:09
Given Toseland’s recent disaster at the British MotoGP, is it the case that as a nation, we expect too much, too soon out of our budding GP riders? Do British fans put too much pressure on them by expecting them to perform?
I think Toseland puts too much pressure on himself to perform for the British race fans. However, on the other hand, he’s paid to get results, he obviously wants to win, so we should expect to see him win and one day win the Championship.T509Speedy

By Luke Ponsford on 29/12/2006 14:29:26
There is no 'i' in 'team', but there are four in 'freeloading, indolent bike journalist'. Ponsford joins the Rizla Suzuki BSB squad for the 2006 championship's last hurrah

By Jon Urry on 14/03/2008 10:12:10
Back in 2005, Niall and Jon explored inside Aprilia and Ducati's factories before taking the RSV-R and 999 on a trip along the legendary Futa Pass.
