The BBC has a new article on some features that could soon be coming to motorbikes – to make them much more safe than they are now. Recently, the likes of ABS have been fitted to motorbikes, which certainly makes stopping a more controlled affair, but the technology being looked at using Saferider systems is […]
Just which is faster, a Ferrari 458 Italia or a Ducati 1198 S? Obviously the car is much easier to handle than the sheer raw power to weight of the bike, but will the Ferrari be able to match the Ducati in the corners? Watch the Motortrend video to find out. I’d recommend it in […]
The MCI is saying ‘Get On’ during National Motorcycle Week 2010 which runs from 18-24 July 2010. If you’ve never experienced two wheels in any form, this is the ideal opportunity to do so. Those wanting to try a bike or scooter can participate in the event by enjoying a FREE one-hour taster session with […]
In March, I had the pleasure of attending the MCN Scottish Motorcycle Show. Let’s get the scoring/review out of the way first of all – I can heartily recommend the show if you have an interest in bikes, although there wasn’t too much going on in terms of live events outside.

She asked him specifically about the issue of motorcycle testing, which has been fundamentally […]

Just the other week, I wrote a post about vulnerable road users and the importance of awareness on the road. You can read it here. Tonight, after a particularly long and gruelling day at work, I decided to whip off the all-weather cover and get the bike going for a few miles’ jaunt. All was […]
Whilst this is first and foremost a car blog, I thought I’d share with you all the sad news that Buell motorbikes will be no more as Harley Davidson are focussing their efforts elsewhere.
