First-person video gives you a scary look at a close encounter
No-one wants to end up under the wheel of a truck, but that's exactly what happens to this guy's bike (and leg). Close call.Bonus points if you can guess the bike he's on.

Harris makes that Fireblade slide
By Ben Cope on 05/08/2009 17:20:25
Great shot of Karl Harris in action from Mallory
Mallory is but a distant memory for the British Superbike circus, but leafing through some images while looking to setup a 'Khal Harris vs. Karl Harris' feature, I stumbled across this image of Karl Harris absolutely on it at Mallory exiting Devil's Elbow. Respect.

This bloke needs to ditch the car and get a bike

Belgian OAP slides his Fiat Panda into the smallest garage in the world ...like a glove. Hilarious!
Credit to this old gent for getting his miniscule car into his micro garage but we can't help thinking; wouldn't it be easier to ditch the car and get a bike?

The last word in elbow down?

Don't be trying this on your next trackday..
Dani Ribalta - fairly handy on a Supermoto.. I'd love to know the physics behind what's going on here. How that tyre keeps gripping is beyond the abilities of my pea-sized brain to calculate.

Casey Stoner: man on a mission
If you watched Stoner's faultless display on Eurosport at the weekend you would have seen the huge drifting slides he was pulling off lap after lap on the exit of turn 11. Huge slides. Man and machine in a display of perfect balance. Who said 800s

Running wide head-on, caught on camera
By Ben Cope on 20/09/2011 13:50:23
That's one of your nine lives
It's the crash you never want to have. Not that you want to have any, but running wide on a corner only to be met by a big 4x4 is high up on my list of 'biking must not dos'.This guy gets away with it and it appears he slides under the 4x4 after his
