Why I ride...
By jenkins on 13/10/2006 16:38:30
The reasons that I ride a bike all year round.
rivalry. Motorbiking most certainly doesn't run in the family - I'm the first and, to date, only member of my family (extending to cousins of the second and third order) to ride anything with an engine in it, ever...not even a sixteen year old on a moped

Jamie Whitham Column - Jun 2006
By Jamie Whitham on 01/06/2006 13:46:02
Irksome Australian children's TV presenters, sweaty 70s parties, exploding tractors. Yup, it's been another action-packed month for racing legend and TWO's road tester James Whitham
as I'm concerned, if it has two wheels and an engine it's a motorbike, and if just some of these youths on mopeds are encouraged to stay on two wheels after they're 17 then it'll have benefits for us all in years to come. Bloody hell - bit thoughtful

Jamie Whitham Column - Jan 2008
By Jamie Whitham on 15/01/2008 10:35:36
James is a self-confessed anorak. If it’s got a motor, he’s into it. This month he’s been poking around an old Vulcan jet bomber. A recipe for disaster...
and before long I wasn’t satisfied with 1970’s mopeds, I needed bigger and bigger projects to satisfy my craving. Soon I was experimenting with an RD250DX and after that I moved on to a 350LC. It was when I bought a 1974 Suzuki GT750 that I finally had

Our recent moped run to the classic racing bike gathering at Spa Francochamps in Belgium (see page 86) was one of the best trips in ages. Andrea and Ruby flew out to meet me and we spent the weekend catching up with old friends and hanging out

German 250cc GP sensation Toni Mang upset the Honda applecart with a masterful display of riding
- on a cut-down moped, which he’d tuned with one of his best friends from school, Sepp Schloegl. He went on to win the 250cc world title five times and won 42 GPs, which is more than all but half-a-dozen riders have achieved. He was a very taciturn guy
