Gloves. Really important and surprisingly difficult to get right. Especially here in the UK, where we have been known to get all four seasons in one day. Sometimes before lunch. Knox have recognised this challenge and tackled it head-on with their Coniston all eather glove.

Ruroc seem to be quite fond of breaking stereotypes and upsetting old rules. If I were all trendy I might call them "disruptors" but I'm not so I won't. However, it's a well known fact that you can't have decent audio in a race helmet, right? Well, the Ruroc Shockwave might suggest different...

The end of the season saw Francesco enjoying the highs and lows of club racing. I think it's fair to say that the winter rest will be both welcome and needed, as well as highly deserved. No spoilers here, though - read the article and see how Francesco and Aghostina got on at Anglesey...

BMW have had a GS in their model range for a very long time. The R1300GS is the latest incarnation of the line, and is much, much more than just a bigger engine and some clever fluff. Have a read and see what this reluctant admirer had to say about it...

 

 

 

Unusually we seem to have come across a talented young racer who can ride and write...and does what he says he's going to as well! Here is the second of Francesco's race reports, where he gets to exorcise the Ghost Of Crashes Past on the infamous Craner Curves. (Ed - been there, crashed, got the scars to show it)...

Morocco is a wonderful place full of interesting sights, fantastic smells and tastes, warm, friendly people...and some truly amazing off-road riding.
We had the opportunity to visit with Wilderness Wheels and the experience was memorable, to say the least. Read on, and have a look at the videos as well. Yes, really. Moving pictures. It's sorcery I tell you...

Racing has always featured heavily on MBT, but pretty much always at the top, expensive end of the spectrum. Francesco Rossato is at the other end. A new club racer in the UK with limited budget but lots of talent - somewhere lots of us will empathise with. And this is the first of, hopefully, many reports on how things went with him at Castle Combe...

Knox have been busy improving their already pretty good Seasonless Collection. This rugged looking chap (not one of our staff) is demonstrating their latest Walker 2 overtrousers. They're light, they fold up small, they're sensibly priced and if you want to know whether they keep you dry...read the article!

Ruroc probably isn't yet a name that will be that familiar to you. Unless you're really into snow sports or are a long-term reader here. If there's any justice that will change - they make innovative and really rather good helmets which now are also ACU approved so you can use them on trackdays. The Atlas 4.0 Track is their latest offering - is it worth the hype? Read on...

The TT has just finished with more triumphs, tribulations and records. But back in 1986 a Swiss chap called Sigi went and visited, took pictures and wrote some words. Through a complicated series of events, those words have ended up here. Take a look and see what the most exciting (and controversial) race event in the world was like 38 years ago...

 

 

 

Knox will be well known to regular readers as purveyors of funky armoured gloves and useful bags. Less well known, perhaps, for fashion items like jeans. Don't panic - Knox Rydal jeans are fashionable, yes, but they're armoured as well. A tricky combination, perhaps. Have they managed? Read on and see...

Alpinestars is probably not an unfamilar name to you. They have a justified reputation as manufacturers of some of the best riding kit out there, so when a set of theit SMX-6 V2 Drystar waterproof sports boots came into the office just in time for a horrible wet winter it rather fortuitous. So they got tested rather a lot, and her's the result...

BMW's latest incarnation of their firebreathing S1000RR appears at first glance to be just a paper exercise - add a bit here, tweak a bit there - but the truth is rather more interesting. I might even go as far as to say that history is being made right here...
