New game: police bike dominoes
By Ben Cope on 14/08/2009 11:16:14
If you're going to play dominoes, probably best you don't do it with police bikes
I'm not sure what to say about this. Five police bikes on their side, in what looks like a hundred-grand game of dominoes. But whoever did it could have at least connected all the bikes up, clearly they need a bit more practice.

Fake motorcycle police. Why?
By Ben Cope on 17/01/2012 16:03:51
Dressing up like the plod. To achieve what exactly?
People who like to pretend they're police baffle me and annoy me in equal measure.I took this picture the other day at Cobham, about to join the A3 heading to Guildford. I guessed that the guy on the left had just bought his rather fetching BMW off

Blunder-prone cops have done it again. North Wales Police incorrectly issued £18,000 of speeding tickets to road users travelling at over 30mph – in a 40mph zone. It’s the same force who used a picture of a rider’s severed head in a safety

The next time you go on an organised rideout
By Ben Cope on 12/01/2012 10:15:06
...will it be as organised as this?

Victory + BMW x Cones = Amazing

Slow speed control? These guys have it by the bucket load..
This video was sent into us by Jon Urry and it shows two guys with outstanding slow-speed control. Want to know if a Victory will go around corners? Well, maybe not over 90mph but at walking pace, the answer is a most definite yes..

Least cool bikes of the Milan show

Polish can make a bad bike glisten but it can't make it cool
I love two wheels but even I have to draw the line somewhere. This custom might be someone's cup of tea but try as I might, I can't see where you'd get an ounce of fun from riding it. Maybe a decent paint job might make it less offensive. Good luck encountering any speed bumps..J...
