By James Whitham on 15/02/2009 17:27:54
This month James becomes the brunt of a Steve Parrish ‘Joke’ as well as discovering the limitations of a 6-volt lighting system during a terrfying 40mph ride home
If I’d have thought about it for any length of time I would’ve realized it was a really bad idea. Ex bike and truck racer, and now BBC commentator Steve Parrish is a legendary practical joker, from simple classics like filling the toe end of some

Living with a 2006 Triumph Scrambler
By James Whitham on 15/06/2006 16:49:10
James Whitham knows a thing or three about bikes. So how did he get on with the Triumph Scrambler?
from The Great Escape, the one of Steve McQueen parked up next to a 'Halt' sign sat on his Triumph Tiger 100 done up to look like a German Zundapp. It's actually a publicity shot, not a still from the film, and it was taken on the day they were doing

James Whitham Column - Aug 2009

James’ socks were blown clean off by the Superstock bikes at the TT, and he’s also been impressed by the electric machines in the TTXGP. All they need now is a little noise
I’ve spent most of the month out on the Isle of Man, working flat out doing TV stuff. I’ve been having a whale of a time with Steve Parrish. He’s always good for a laugh. I could never get tiredof watching people picking up his electric-shock pens

Huddersfield to Spa on seven Yamaha FS1Es to ride priceless GP bikes the other end. What could possibly go wrong? Whitham rounds up six buddies and departs on a moped pilgrimage
Revisiting Whitham's trip to Spa on a FizzyIf you’ve been a reader of the mag for any length of time you can’t have failed to notice that as well as my love of modern bikes, I have an unhealthy interest in older ones. Particularly 1970’s two

James gets a white-knuckle lap of the Nürburgring in a Skoda Flavia at the hands of Jack Burnicle, anorak flapping in the breeze and tyres squealing all the way...
mixing it with the likes of Wayne Gardner, Michael Rutter, Leon Haslam, Jeremy McWilliams and Steve Brogan. Mark and I ended up finishing third to Gardner’s and Rutter’s team.A big part of the event for me though is the flying displays that go

First Ride: Triumph Scrambler
By James Whitham on 30/03/2006 13:54:11
No barbed wire fences to jump, so Whitham sticks to the roads on Triumph's Scrambler and gets nostalgic
would definitely have one in, with an open-faced lid and a pair of RAF Mk 8 goggles hanging off the grips just for when the mood took me. Well, let's face it, it's the closest I'm gonna get to Steve McQueen now.VerdictFor a Sunday morning bike
