Posted

Q. I was filtering through traffic when I saw a bus indicating right and moving out of a bus stop to my left. There was a van to his right and I went for the gap in between. Because the bus was pulling out I got stuck in between the van and bus and then…

My bike’s on finance, but I’ve crashed it
Posted
by
Q. I bought a new Triumph a year and a half back, on finance. Four months ago I got wiped out by an old biddie in an Austin Allegro of all things (yes it was in poo brown) who was on the way home from a vintage rally. Luckily no one got hurt but both…

Where have all the bargains gone?
Posted
by
At a recent bike auction, I heard that dealers were having to travel further afield to buy their stock. Prices paid at the drop of the hammer seemed high too… Great, I thought – biking’s on the up again! This must be the start of what’s going to be a brilliant year for biking.…

2014 Ducati 899 Panigale review
Posted
by
£12,496 | 898cc liquid-cooled V-twin | 148bhp | 73lb-ft The 899 Panigale looks almost identical to the 1199 that began the Panigale family two years ago, but it’s distinctly different — and not just in its engine capacity. Basically the 899 has been created to be a bit more of a practical streetbike than the…

R&G heated grips review
Posted
by
Tested by: Roger Jones RRP: £39.99 Come rain or shine, I would much rather be out on a motorcycle than stuck in a car, but in the winter my hands tend to get cold quickly, so heated grips on my BMW 650 ST were a must. I took a Stanley knife to the original grips to…

Posted
by
Q. I was out riding with my other half on the back of my Bandit 1200 when I cocked up a corner, ended up in the gutter and bounced off through a hedge. Not my finest hour. I walked away with a bruised ego but my wife ended up breaking her wrist and her leg.…

I’m being charged with failing to stop
Posted
by
Q. I was on my bike, filtering through traffic on my BMW GS1200. I had my metal panniers on so it’s pretty wide. As I went past a beaten-up old Ford Escort, the driver moved to the right by about a foot, clipped my nearside pannier and nearly knocked me off. We pulled up at…
