... supervised motorway driving Minimum 5 hours supervised night time driving. A compulsory Pass Plus kind of effort to "unlock" restricted roadways or just as in part of normal driving lessons to be ticked off before your test? All new cars to have bluetooth and each car sold must be hooked ...

... why is that so bad for other people??! I looked into taking public transport for college and found it would take more than twice as long (1hr by road normally Vs 2hr+ public transport) and I wouldn't be able to afford the public transport option either as it costs more than driving. The fuel ...

... they should be a lot harsher on drivers. People seem to forget that a car can kill someone and too many go around like absolute pricks on the road. Agreed with Kwacky's point with phone being hooked up at dealership with Bluetooth. See too many people on their phones and they can't say they ...

... problems... 1 - Stop teaching people to pass a test and teach them to drive (that goes for bikes as well) 2 - Get some enforcement back on the road so people don't carry on with this attitude of "I can do what ever I like as there's nobody here to catch me" Thoughts ??

People who don't ride bikes or enjoy bikes will never understand the passion bikers have for their sport IMO. That will forever be there loss and I sincerely hope they have something else to fill that empty void with as an empty life is a wasted life IMO. Bikes are not dangerous and anybody who disp...

It's a difficult one. They know the risks. Whitham and Foggy both said last week they gave up the TT as they knew there were only so many times you could push your luck there. It was interesting talking to the guy who designed the Alto Performance bike last weekend and when i asked him why he doesn'...

... (removed the original post cus of a pic ) Simon Andrews lost his life at the 2014 North West 200 in a crash on a very fast, straight section of road into Portrush. He was dismounted at high speed and suffered an impact with the kerb causing severe injuries. Typically in these circumstances the ...

... meeting at 9am so I can get some breakfast in first. If you get there early I'll be round the corner in the cafe next door to the Natwest (Terrace Road). It's got a big red illy sign above the door.

[Can we add after A5270 go straight ahead onto B5053 into Longnor and then right turn onto the Leek road (very twisty with a few jumps). . That road is brilliant and scarey in equal measure. Your not wrong. I had all 4 wheels off the road in the car the other day and I actually ...

... can save a route in google maps I will post it up for comment. Any chance you could do that anyway. I'm interested to see if your favourite local roads are the same as my favourites. If you set it up as a collaborative map I can add mine after and then we can share it on here for anyone visiting ...

... wear on the bike. This morning I had a tinted visor, summer gloves and a rain overcoat on. Had a couple of showers before i left the house so the roads were damp and there was a lot of spray on the motorway. Same. My textiles are still wet from being washed though so had no choice. I put the summer ...

I don't doubt racing bikes is much like riding road bikes in so much as some bikes feel great instantly you get on them and others are hard work. It was specifically the front end they said was crap. They reckoned the front had too much rake.

In Cider Knowledge on the rampage! 198 points for me at Le Mans....get in!

... him round maybe tomorrow, we've also found out some detail on the incident from an eye witness who was behind him, a stationary car on an A road decided to do a U turn in front of him, he didn't have a chance to avoid it. Stay safe out there people, watch out for those cagers!!!!

I wasn't overly impressed with the SBS pads yesterday. Clearly they're geared up for the road. On the track they heated up very quickly and did a great job of stopping the bike, but they're very wooden. There was very little feedback from them and they were a bit grabby. ...
