I would seriously loved to have seen Weather Report back in the day. Reading about him, I didn't realise that despite a prodigious talent, he died in such tragic circumstances, living on the streets, substance abuse, mental problems and so on. He fell into a coma after getting beaten up in Florida i...

Agreed - not the best spot for Plod to step out with his mighty speed pistol giving first rider very little time to break plus our hero behind who was lucky not to have poleaxed the PC or worse if he'd gone rightside and potentially into opposing traffic. First rider did seem to be traveling a tad q...

Phil Read test rode one back in the day and apparently loved it. A very rare beast indeed. Taken from designer Malcolm Newell's notes about the ...

I like, to quote the police bike cop I did a day's session with a few years back, to 'make progress' and as I was following the bloke, this really did mean exceeding the limit but not excessively. Mostly on A roads with a bit of motorway in Somerset and was a total blast. It genuinely improved my ri...
