Grubby oiks on the rob, or the very future of motorcycling? Wozza hunts out the kids on scooters to find out
, helmets balanced on top of their heads. They're the ones who think protective clothing means an extra hooded top. They are, in short, a menace to society in general and, more specifically, all that is good in motorcycling. Or are they? How many have you

Former TWO magazine editor, Bertie Simmonds, talks about his experience of owning a Honda CBR929RR Fireblade
