Bargain jet washer from Halfords
By Ben Cope on 03/05/2011 15:25:49
If only I'd bought it sooner... or later?
This Halfords jet washer has been one of the best things I've picked up all year, I wish I bought it much earlier than I did. Or should that be much later? Let me explain:Tight is my middle name and every time I walked into Halfords I told myself I'd buy one, but instead I opted ...

Tested: W2 4 Dirt Adventure Boots
By Andy Stevens on 30/01/2012 12:32:56
Fancy a bit of brown Suede? We do!
How waterproof are these boots? Well at the end of a days off-roading the best way to get them clean is with the jetwash and the inner stays dry, that’s how waterproof. They are sturdy too, the internal injection moulded plastic protectors line

Jay Leno - Interview
By Visordown on 26/07/2010 12:31:44
Likeable US talkshow legend Jay Leno talks jet-bikes, swapping out carbs on a Vincent Black Shadow and getting speeding tickets on a steam-powered car…
away, which is hilarious! You click it into 2nd gear – it only has two gears – and it pulls 60-150mph way harder than from 0-60mph. It does have a tendency to melt car sideskirts in traffic from the jetwash, which can be a little irksome. And expensive

Used Review: Honda CBR1100XX Super Blackbird
By Bertie Simmonds on 05/04/2008 22:11:44
Ten years ago the Super Blackbird was celebrated as the fastest and most powerful thing on two wheels. Now, it's 'just' a very fast, big, sports tourer with an enviable reputation for quality.
throw at it and still come up bright as a new pin with just a jet-wash and rub-down. Impressive. One thing, owners of the later 'matt black' finish machines report that the matt soon becomes satin or even quite glossy after it's been cleaned a few times

Living with a 2008 Honda Pan European
By John Cantlie on 16/11/2008 10:09:35
Naughty Johnny Cantlie pinches a Pan Euro from Honda for a quick review
- proper job. It’s been doused in lashings of salt during the worst that winter has thrown at us, but a jet-wash every two weeks has stopped there being any major ill-effects. Bit of corrosion on the ABS teeth on the front spindle, and that’s it. In parts

Living with a 2001 Honda GL1800 Goldwing
By John Can lie on 26/05/2002 12:51:05
Raah! Johnny Cantlie and his Goldwing
the hands and feet get blustered by the wind, so you need a good set of Gore-Tex boots and gloves to keep them properly covered up. There's a delicious black coating of salt over every surface that has to be removed via jetwash at least once a week if it

Living with a 2008 Suzuki RM-Z250
By John Cantlie on 16/05/2008 10:14:14
John Cantlie reviews the RM-Z250 and reckons he has a pathetically mis-aligned mindset. We'd agree.
50kg to the overall weight. People were dropping like flies, so tired they were unable to pick their bikes up, and it took Rob a full day to jetwash his KTM clean. But not me. I took one look at the place and elected not to ride, knowing what

John Cantlie Does Africa
By John Cuntlie on 29/10/2007 21:07:47
A ride off-road through the un-tamed bush of South Africa? Tough going but a real thrill, and in November 2006 you can do the same - and all for charidee, mate
the riders. As we hobbled and struggled with the jet-wash back at Mike's ranch, Simon and myself looked like casualties of war. Only Jules, curse him, remained utterly virginal with neither himself nor his bike hitting the ground once. What an adventure. Ten
