Thursday January 31, 2008 Blog: Jay Claims It's Not Lipstick
I went over to the farm owned by Al's new landlord, James, to ride the motocross practice track last weekend. The weather was gorgeous, the track was in a good state, and I had a spanking Kawasaki KX250F to play on. Unfortunately, I was a bit rubbish.
I...
Blog: Moby Says, ‘Blow Me!’
I've spent a fair bit of time trawling around the interweb for cool things to do to/with my Ducati 900SS - but today saw me find the most extraordinary. I found a chap in Australia called Wayne Patterson, who's actually an official Ducati dealer.

Wednesday January 30, 2008 Blog: Tak’s Leaving Skidmarks
My longtermer Xmoto is a distant memory, my pride and joy Tornado’s safely tucked up awaiting a new oil filter and oil change, and I don’t even know what I’m riding on the fleet this year, let alone when it’s arriving.
So the trusty office scoot is my...

Staff Bikes: Steve's BMW G 650 Xmoto, February 2008
It’s coming around to that time of year again, when we start saying goodbye to the longterm fleet as the manufacturers ask for their rides back, one by one. And this year, the Xmoto’s up first.
Parting company with my longterm steed will hit me less hard...

Sunday January 27, 2008 Blog: Moby On Project Bikes
It's really easy to get a little blinkered by new metal if you're as privileged as the FB team is. We get to ride all the latest and greatest bikes, and it wouldn't be hard to slip into the mindset that newer is always better, and that 'cheap' equals...
Friday January 25, 2008 News: See The First UK Ducati Desmosedici

Staff Bikes: Andy S' Ducati Multistrada 1100S, February 2008
The new Ducati has 500 miles under its belt already since arriving last month. All of them have been done in shite weather, so much of the enjoyment has been taken away. The first 300 miles were mostly on motorways, where the Multistrada impressed me.
The...
Blog: Moby Reckons Standard Sucks
We ride bikes in standard form all the time, it's how you buy them from the dealer, and so it's how we test them. But the bikes we do the most mileage on, and live with, are usually standard for about as long as it take the postman to reach FB Towers on the...

Staff Bikes: BJ's Triumph Speed Triple, February 2008
I had intended to tell you a lot more about the Tune Boy fuel programming option we’re going to use to get the bike mapped to its latest Zard exhaust this month. But due to one reason or another, I’m putting it off until next month now, so many apologies,...
