Used Product: Alpinestars S-MX R Boots

4th June 2009

Let’s talk about winter boots. Now I know we’re out of the depths of winter, and summer seems like it’s well and truly here, so you’re probably thinking, “Why the hell is he banging on about winter boots?” I guess I just wanted to shout about them, really. My longterm Alpinestar S-MX Plus boots gave…

26th November 2008

I’ve been waiting for this for a very long time – the new Arai RX7 GP. We first heard that it was in development about two years ago, and the UK importer has got very bored of me asking when it would arrive.

Used Product: Wolf Waterproof Gloves

16th November 2008

Quite frankly, the weather out there is shite and I was getting fed up of water coming in everywhere with my sports summer gloves. These £69.99 Wolf waterproof gloves featured in our ‘Stay Dry’ Products special pages in the December issue, so I half-inched them from the kit store.

11th November 2008

Here it is in a nutshell: these are the best tyres I’ve ever tested. They’re so good that in the course of a one-day race meeting, consisting of two 15-minute qualifying sessions and an 18-lap race on the Donington National circuit, I can’t honestly say that I found their limit or truly got a handle…

10th November 2008

The MotoGP series of videogames started out as an impressive franchise that degenerated into increasingly arcade style outings, without a single impressive outing on the so-called ‘next generation’ consoles of Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii.

9th November 2008

I ride everyday, rain or shine, but that doesn’t mean all my bikes have to conform to the same demands. While I have scant regard for wrapping myself up against the weather, my more delicate machines need a little bit more love.

Used Product: Cold Killers Wind Buddy Fleece

7th November 2008

The last few weeks has seen me opt for a Cold Killers Wind Buddy fleece top to go over my weather kit. I’d never used one before and was impressed with how good they actually are. This one has got the waterproofed windstopper front with a fleece back, it’s actually mega out of date and…

Used Product: Supersport Race Tyre Test Verdict

by

–

30th October 2008

What struck me more than anything having raced on all the different treaded competition hoops, is how close this class still is. The perception is that Pirelli, Metzeler, and Dunlop are way ahead, and Dunlop have to fight to be remembered in a control-tyre crazy world. The reality is that the tyre war is far…

Used Product: Metzeler Racetec Tyres

24th October 2008

There isn’t much left to say about the Racetec. It’s the benchmark and still as fast as anything and massively popular. It has a very neutral character, so fit ’em and go without worrying what side effects they may have on your bike. I used these early in the year, and although they seem to…

Used Product: Dunlop GP Racer Tyres

21st October 2008

Continuing a recent trend of Dunlop tyres with confusing names is the GP Racer. This isn’t really a race tyre, it’s a trackday hoop with the breadth of ability to dip into a club race paddock to one side or fast road use on the other. We have tested these on road bikes, and BJ…

Used Product: Michelin Power Race Tyres

by

–

18th October 2008

The Power Race has been around for nearly four years, so it’s on its last legs. Nevertheless, it packs dual compound technology that doesn’t even feature in the brand new Bridgestone BT-003. Of the three front and three rear compound options, only half are actually dual stickiness; the others are uniform. Needless to say Michelin…

Used Product: Bridgestone BT-003 Tyres

by

–

15th October 2008

The Bridgestone BT-003 is all-new for 2008, and as the name suggests is their third effort at a Supersport tyre. The pattern is new, and is the most direct link to MotoGP as, modestly, Bridgestone aren’t over-egging their first title. The centre of each tyre is more heavily grooved than you might expect; it looks…
