Friday May 30, 2008 Staff Bikes: Tak's Victory Hammer S

Tuesday May 27, 2008 Staff Bikes: Andy S' Suzuki GSX-R600 K3 Track Bike, Issue 209
No, your eye’s aren’t deceiving you, that is indeed my new used tank on my back. I know, I was shocked too when it turned up, finally. What a ballache it was getting hold of it. I’ve never been pissed about by a company so much in my life. Still it’s here and...
Monday May 26, 2008 News: Don't Wine About It
Drinking and riding are not the happiest of bedfellows, but maybe that isn’t the association Ducati are trying to make.

Sunday May 25, 2008 Staff Bikes: Giles' Kawasaki ZX-7R, Issue 209
With the bike now looking vastly improved, it was time to replace the knackered rear suspension with a Nitron Race+ shock. Hand-built to order in the UK, the engineering that’s gone into it is incredible. It’s all-alloy construction makes it light, and being...

Wednesday May 21, 2008 Staff Bikes: Moby's Ducati 900SS, Issue 209
I’ve been without my project 900SS for the past month, while it gets the VIP treatment in Winchester at Moto Rapido. I’m missing it too. I probably wouldn’t even have ridden it due to a general lack of time this month, but I love seeing it sitting in my garage...

Tuesday May 20, 2008 Used Product: Stomp Grip
Stomp Grip is a textured, tacky rubber pad that sticks to the side of your tank. It's shaped to fit individual bikes, and the idea is that it lets you connect with the bike better. In particular, it's for 'hooking onto the tank' in the way that the California...
