A few days ago this thread appeared http://www.therevcounter.com/uk-moto...-learners.html. I thought I might buy this book for someone looking to learn to ride a bike, and having not long returned from a riding break I though I'd look at it myself, and I said I'd give my thoughts when I had read it. So here they are. These are my own personal opinions of the book, ...

The Ride to work

Published on 01-08-11 21:25

With a little wiggle, I push the earplug marked L into my left ear then repeat with the right one. Carefully I route the white cable down through my tea shirt and catch hold of the plug as it dangles below. Plugging it into the streamlined base of the I-Pod Nano, its time for an important choice: which album to pick for the 20mile commute! This is serious. A bad decision could spoil not only the next ...

Yellow visors

by
Bobzilla
Published on 01-08-11 21:24

Some of you will already have discovered the benefits of a yellow visor in dark conditions. However, I have been riding 10 years, and it was only recently that I discovered it, in the form of a Yellow Pinlock insert. It was quite a grey overcast day, but the conditions appeared to be sunny with the yellow tint given off by this insert. It made everything much clearer. I cannot recommend these enough. ...

Pazzo Racing Levers

Published on 28-07-11 11:05

The Homunculus is a distorted model of the human form based on how much of our brains’ sensory and motor cortex each body part demands. Clearly our brains have assigned a disproportionate amount of perception and motor control to those most useful of appendages, the hands. Which brings us neatly to the most vital controls we require for a motorcycle; brake, clutch and throttle. ...

Triumph Tiger 800 XC Review

Well after years of BMW ownership I've decided to try something different.

I had already ridden the BMW R1200 and 800 GS's and whilst I like them I felt that as I tend to travel solo, the 12 was a bit big for me to drop in the middle of nowhere and be able to pick back up again.. and the 800 I just didn't like the look of.

Along came the new Tiger and ...

Having ridden bikes for around fifty years I had developed a healthy contempt for the "Fair Weather Biker" and for the annual crop of accidents which always seem to happen over the first sunny week-ends of the year. This year, however, was different - encroaching age, stiff joints and a spell of really heavy snow conditions all conspired to turn me into a pampered car driver. The bike was ...

My first venture into BM ownership after many many years of slating the breed and I have to admit to being hooked
for a large Motorbike it rides really well and hides/carries it's bulk extremely well.
Good on fuel, good on tyres, and comfortable to boot, plenty good enough for a full tank of over 350 miles between stops.
Theres a plethora of bolt on goodies to buy for them so if ...

I've got a sense of deja lu. Is there a glitch in the matrix again?

Or is it the universe getting in a knot because someone wheelied a shaftie?

The highway code says stopping distance from 60 mph is 73m/240feet.

How long will that be in seconds till you come to a halt?

Yes but there are plenty of shanked bolts on motorcycles, a spindle is an extreme example. Just pointing out that torquing down fixings is a very important
