How to race motocross
By John Cantlie on 19/02/2009 12:13:13
It’s the cheapest and most exciting form of two-wheeled motorsport with a growing ‘veterans’ crowd of over 35 year-olds racing. Fancy something new? Here’s how to get started.
’s a huge pool of old gits (‘veterans’ is the official term) racing motocross this year right across the country, and it’s the most fun you can have with a mate on a motorcycle. I’m racing a Suzuki RM-Z250 all year with the Portsmouth and Southern

There are some 12,000 American military personnel stationed in the UK. Every year, they remember their fallen comrades by taking to the streets on their Hogs. This year, we tagged along for the ride
’ve had a few fatalities here on the bases, unfortunately. The last one was 2008, a guy had just had his bike delivered from the States but he hadn’t done the mandatory familiarity course. It’s compulsory, an official order, and you’re not supposed to ride

Class of '80
By Simon Bowen on 07/09/2009 17:22:25
It’s early 1980 and the threat of the four-stroke invasion hangs heavy in the air. Yamaha and Suzuki have been slugging it out for two years in what may be the final fling for the air-cooled strokers
officially a fat-arsed cow. The ace card in Suzuki’s pack is plain for all to see, a dry weight figure of just 128kg – enough to impress even the fabulously undernourished Twiggy on a bad day. That’s a full 20kg lighter than the RD and put into perspective

American Muscle - Yamaha V-Max
By Jon Urry on 09/09/2009 17:39:26

World In Motion
By Harriet Ridley, Alex Hearn, Tim Dickson on 23/02/2008 15:05:39
Travel by car and you're watching a movie. Travel by bike and you're in the movie. Which is reason enough in our book to hit the road for a touring holiday. The question is, how do you want to do it?
in 400 daysMy friends and I used to tour round Europe on motorcycles. But one day we decided to do something more radical. It was 1993 and Russia had just opened up officially, so we thought it'd be fantastic to ride across it. But we had a few more beers
