First Ride: 2002 Buell XB9R Firebolt
By Bertie Simmonds on 29/03/2008 16:37:24
Look, children, here he comes. It's Tweedle Dee in the blue and silver Kushitani leathers on his dinky Fisher Price 'My First Ideal Sportsbike.'
he uses his big shiny boots to go down two gears before pitching into turn one. "Ooooh, Bertie, please be careful," squeak the Buell technicians, worried the Firebolt may get squashed under 18-stones of ginger beer and potted meat sandwiches

First Ride: 2002 Triumph Speed Four
By Bertie Simmonds on 29/03/2008 19:11:57
Picture the scene if you will. It's 2006, we're in the middle of a recession and another Government still ignores the benefits of motorcycles to the detriment of UK road users everywhere.
like the new Speed Four could be our saviours. Fun, on road, furious on track, but without the associated and inflated costs.In all honesty, initially I thought the Speed Four looked like something Ainsley Harriot had made on Ready Steady Cook

By Bertie Simmonds on 14/09/2010 10:16:47
The new 2003 Multistrada. It's a practical, useful alternative to a sportsbike, but it can tour, commute and still cut it in the twisties as it was born on the mountain roads

First Ride: Buell XB9S
By Bertie Simmonds on 13/09/2010 11:49:56
Buell's naked, promises big kicks from its punchy motor but with a wheelbase smaller than a gnat's wheelbarrow, sharp handling too
