Sunday May 11, 2008 Blog: Jay's RSV R Gets Loud, Gets Gripped
A longtermer never feels like it's mine until I've fitted loud cans and race grips. Even though it's more likely to be yours one day then actually my own (you can win it, see mag for details), the Aprilia now feels right, thanks to these Laser cans and...
Staff Bikes: Andy S' R6, Issue 209
The R6 is going to be a great bike. I can feel it already and it’s a dead cert with the plans I’ve got for it.

Friday May 09, 2008 Staff Bikes: Jay's Street Triple, Issue 209
The Street Triple has only received one significant modification this issue, but it paid dividends and made the bike a lot more enjoyable. First, the mods that didn’t quite happen in time.
A pair of Micron cans arrived, and they look damn good. The twin...

The mileage continues to pile on to the Multi’, and it’s bearing its considerable load (me) rather well. BJ has thrown a few miles at it this month too, and it’s now munched its way through 3,000 of them in the last eight weeks.

Tuesday May 06, 2008 Used Product: Moto46 rearsets
Most rearsets, especially when fitted to road bikes, are fashion accessories. Not these. The Moto46 rearsets are pure function. They aren't adjustable, they aren't pretty, and they aren't light.
Hang on a minute though, because the plus points are...
