I always used to be a real anti-sat nav person, constantly berating people who had it for being too mentally deficient to look at a map and have any idea where they’re going. Then I got a TomTom Rider, and felt immediately guilty for being such a cretin. I’m planning on getting about quite a…

These came in for a products shoot the other month, I needed a pair of winter gloves, and they were the right size. Game on. RST

Of the half-dozen racer autobiographies I’ve read, this is the funniest and probably the most honest too. Chris Walker is best known for finishing as runner-up in the BSB championship four years running from 1997-2000, and for being immensely popular with race fans. His roller-coaster career makes for a great story and you’ll wince at…

What you wear makes a massive difference to the enjoyment you can get out of riding, especially in bad weather. I recently tried a two-piece Knox Dry Inside undersuit for some motocross and I was really impressed. Getting warm on the bike and then standing in a cold windy field is a tough test, yet…

Abba have been around for years, but I’ve only just noticed them. It’s way more secure than a normal paddock stand and you can fit it with the bike on the sidestand too, so it’s easy without help. The rubber handle extends out of the frame so you get loads of leverage to lift it.…

I’ve tried a few rucksacks in my time, some general purpose jobbies, some supposedly specifically designed for bikers. Most are shite. However, Kriega’s R35 is far from shite. I can honestly tell you that this is the best rucksack I’ve ever used on a bike, and when it gets really old and dies, I’ll be…

Whether you’re a MotoGP junkie looking to swot up on some history, or a longtime fan after a reminder of the ‘good old days’, this is a cracker. I fit into the former bracket, and BJ the latter, so he was bouncing up and down to get me to watch it. It’s good viewing, though…

It takes great weather to bring the Metzeler Racetecs to life on the road. This K3 Street compound is designed to warm up better on the road, but they need some effort and colder road and ambient temperatures leave them struggling to deliver good feel. It

Beej has been using a pair of these for months now, and rates them. They
