Tested by: Steve Rose¦£299 (plain colours)¦www.agv.co.uk¦01773 864420 Based on AGV’s super-sporty Pista shell, the GT Veloce is the road-going option, so its racer-light but with a softer, more comfy lining and vents you can open and close (the race-inspired Pista has removable bungs).

7th May 2018

Adventure doesn’t have to mean gruelling off-road exploits – there’s an easier way to tour South Africa… It had been a frustrating day.

3rd May 2018

Peter Gripton raced on the Isle of Man in 1970-71 – what was it like to go back 45 years later? They say that life is what happens while you’re making other plans. I’ve been riding for 52 years – everything from an early Vespa to a petrol/methanol burning Suzuki TS250 and my current grey-import…

30th April 2018

A long day ride of nearly 300 miles from Northumberland into Scotland and back. Ever heard of the Border Reivers? They were English and Scottish families and clans who took to cattle rustling and raiding (reiving) as almost a way of life between the 13th and 17th centuries.

23rd April 2018

Tested by: Scott Redmond¦£199.99¦www.nevis.uk.com¦01425 478936 This is the first helmet I’ve worn that wasn’t made by either Arai or Shoei, but after more than 5000 miles it’s become my go-to lid. There wasn’t much of a breaking in period, while for fit and comfort, on my head at least, it’s an easy five star item.…
