Mr Chopper - Billy Lane
By Warren pole on 29/10/2007 19:54:00
He's America's most notorious chopper builder and a stateside household name in his own right, his bikes go for as much as $150,000 each and he's signed more naked breasts than you've had hot dinners. Meet Billy Lane
at the roadside, much to the dismay of the passing early morning traffic, and then at the next intersection a state trooper awards us a ticket for running a stop sign.It's not a good start but at least things can surely only get better. Which they do, thankfully

By John Cantlie on 21/04/2010 16:28:46
When the call of adventure draws you somewhere you shouldn’t go, a war-torn Arab state perhaps, don’t worry. It’s never as bad as you think
of coke from roadside watermelon vendors three miles up the road for $20.Don’t use a tent if you’re not feeling comfortable about security. Local hotels are cheap and do afford you some basic safekeeping. Text a mate at home and make a plan, asking them

Vertigo - Enduro Himalaya
By John Cantlie on 06/03/2007 12:28:43
The boundaries of modern motorcycle tours have been pushed back again, as Enduro Himalaya gives you the chance to ride the most incredible mountain peaks in the world
the Himalayan foothills and serve to remind you how different it is riding a bike around here. Chaotic small towns, overturned trucks, shit-throwing monkeys and the bloated corpses of dead cows litter the roadside. And rubbish, lots of rubbish. In India

Jet and Rent: Mexico by motorcycle
By John Cantlie on 21/10/2010 16:33:13
Want to see Mexico by motorcycle. Well it's easy, really it is. We did it
is the sort of place where a mere puncture is no problem, and after flat-rimming the bike back to a roadside mechanic we watch amazed as he proceeds to cut the valve out of one old inner-tube and melt it into ours using something akin to a Breville toaster

Road Test: BMW K1200R
By Warren Pole on 27/04/2008 21:48:52
It's big, it's weird looking and it doesn't have any clothes on. Oh yes, and it's very, very fast. Are BMW about to take the naked bruiser class by storm?
to the back wheel? Not a hope. I resort to pointing at the back wheel and mumbling loudly instead.Fortunately I'm saved embarrassment by the arrival of the nice lady from BMW who's come to buy my freedom from the roadside I've been detained at for the last
