Onboard Honda's baby sportsbike chasing velocity max...
The Cope Law states that: the capacity of the bike you're riding is inversely proportional to your chances of a crash.Never was it more true than on the launch of Honda's CBR125R and CBR250R where a handful of UK journos were riding elbow to elbow

Victory + BMW x Cones = Amazing
By Ben Cope on 21/02/2011 15:40:55
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..

S1000RR vs. Goodwood
By Ben Cope on 20/03/2010 09:39:00
On Thursday, I did something I've always wanted to do since I was a little nipper.
And before you say it, no it's not "Start and finish a journey on two wheels without falling off."I rode up Goodwood's hill. And I did it on BMW's mighty S1000RR.Ok, so it wasn't infront of thousands of on-lookers and it wasn't at any great speed

This dude's got control...

He's giving this course a proper go on his ZZR-1400. Rather him than me? I'd get dizzy after 3 u-turns and then drop it..
This is what they do in Japan for kicks. Funny bunch. It's pretty impressive though. Especially considering he's doing it on a ZZR-1400..

It's a 30 you bunch of b@stards!

Man paints sign. Council get angry.
When Tim Backhouse painted this massive 30mph sign on the side of his house, I thought he'd done a great job.Pissed off with speeding lorries and other vehicles, he contacted Devon County Council to ask them to put traffic calming measures, signs

RC45 envy. Pure and simple.
By Ben Cope on 19/07/2011 17:48:35
A couple of modern tweaks to this Honda classic
I spotted this RC45 in the garages at the Spa Bikers' Days Classic. I couldn't find the owner so I'm afraid I don't know anything about it, other than what you can see here.It's been nudged into this century with Ohlins superbike forks and Brembo monobloc brakes and an Ohlins rea...
