  • MTC Exhausts – Price Correction

    MTC Exhausts – Price Correction

    Although close to perfection here at Fast Bikes, we’re only human. On page 36 of the March issue, in the Products section, we featured MTC’s new Tri-Oval Carbon can and gave you an incorrect price of £145. This beautifully fabricated ‘zorst actually starts at £180 which is still an unbelievable bargain. Sorry and thank you.

    Used Product: Wolf Waterproof Gloves

    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.

    Used Product: Dunlop KR106/KR108 Slicks

    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…
