Cold Play - Foreign track days
By Harriet Ridley on 20/10/2007 17:26:54
Winter? What winter? Harriet packs up her bike and riding kit and heads for the sunshine
of Buds. I was ready to face the new season back in Blighty.Except my appetite for foreign adventures had become insatiable. By early March Blighty's skies were still grey. Very grey. And 100% Bikes were advertising a fly-ride four-day session in Spain

Where Are They Now? Giancarlo Falappa
By Harriet Ridley on 22/10/2007 21:03:24
Massive stand-up wheelies and wild motocross style? Falappa's the man
to their events, I drive there. They pay my expenses as I'd need a boatload of money to live like this off my own back. I've been to Switzerland, Norway, Finland, England, Germany, Spain, Portugal... Once I was in Oslo and the Ducati Owners Club in Greece invited

Harriet's track day R6
as standard, the power delivery is full of flatspots and snatches like the nasty scum who stole my bike.I have, however, sorted a lack of grip by fitting Metzeler's Sportec M1 (£230, 0845 6094949). I tried them at Germany's Nürburgring AND Spain's former F1

Living with a 2005 Honda CBR600RR
By Harriet Ridley on 15/06/2005 15:07:15
Harriet who? Exactly. Well she wrote this review of a Honda CBR600RR
invincible, and I'm not sure my licence would survive the road... So next stop is a three-day track day at Spain's Guadix with Track Sense. I've been on their trips before so I know their organisation is spot-on. I'll let you know how the CBR gets on

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?
or Spain, you can still go touring on your sportsbike. It could be a weekend in the Lake District on your VFR400 or a Sanders-esque lap of the world by R1. Or anything in between.Okay, so touring by sportsbike has its downsides. You don't get armchair
