    by

      Would you ride 1500 miles to a motorcycle rally in Croatia? Dave Owen and friends did… The rally didn’t seem to have changed at all since I rode here on my Kawasaki W650 10 years ago. I was met at the gate by club members who told me to relax, that entry was free…

    It’s 10,000 miles from Scotland to Sicily  – haggis to calamari via Somerset cider. We are from Slovakia, and after three years living in the UK, experiencing life in the countryside and meeting people, we were inspired to do a big trip to raise money for Samaria, a charity from Mark’s home town in Hlohovec.…

    Tried & Tested: Shark Evo-One helmet

    by

    Tested by: John Milbank¦From £349.99¦www.nevis.uk.com¦01425 478936 Flip-front lids are the choice of many touring riders as they offer the protection of a full-face, with the option to completely open the front if necessary. Besides making filling up at the pump easier, when riding in hot conditions they can be a huge relief. While most flip-fronts…

    Tried & Tested: Spada Lati2ude jacket

    by

    Tested by: Steve Rose¦£149¦www.spadaclothing.co.uk¦01384 413841 I like this jacket. It fits well, has kept me dry and warm without being too bulky and has enough clever features to feel like a bargain at £149. The Lati2ude comes with soft, (which means comfortable) but effective CE armour and a back protector too. There’s also a removable…

Eleven years and somewhere around 250,000 miles later I still don’t want to give it back (sorry Olly). In all that time it’s carried pretty much anything you can imagine fitting into a 25 litre rucksack…

    Tested by: John Milbank¦£19.99 to £34.99¦www.oxfordproducts.com¦01993 862300 I store my bikes in the garage, but I also use that same space for metal and wood-work. Even welding. While no cover will protect against molten steel, the dusty environment of my workshop isn’t the best place for my bikes’ paint. That, and the fact that I’ve…
