  • Day ride: Belgium and not a bun in sight.
  • Richard Millington: On the subject of having a spare in the cupboard. And insurance.

ROAD TESTS

  • Yamaha’s Tracer 900 and 900 GT: More of this. More of that. More of everything the old Tracer needed.

TEST FLEET

  • £100 Hound: Bertie has spent his own cash. Not a lot of it, granted, but it has landed him a VFR with some work to do.
  • Au Revoir Strom: Time for Mossy to wave a tearful goodbye to his Suzuki. He has loved this bike. Oh deer.
  • Bonjour, mille quatre vingt-dix: Entering the ring, from the orange corner is the beginner’s big boy Adventure bike. Roger steps up to see what’s what.
