Michael Neeves, 09 May 2011 16:13

EDZ all-climate base layer men's one-piece, £60 (£50 on MCN shop) Miles covered/time: Countless road testing and racing miles/two months What's good: Undersuits are one of biking’s best inventions and I couldn’t imagine wearing leathers without one.

Black Tack

Michael Neeves, 09 May 2011 15:54

Black Tack, £3-£10 depending on size of roll Time used: Six months What's good: Black Tack is like an industrial-strength Blu-Tack. It's amazing stuff and I discovered it after seeing our photographers use it to stick video cameras on to our test bikes. Just roll up a lump of the putty-like substance up in your hands, work it until it's ...

Wayne Rainey. His Own Story

Michael Neeves, 15 February 2011 17:53

Wayne Rainey. His Own Story, £9.99Time read: One week What’s good: Written by MotoGP journo Michael Scott, Rainey’s autobiography was first published back in 1997, but reproduced last year with additional material to bring it up to date. I was always a big Rainey fan – he was one of the original ‘aliens’ along with Schwantz, Gardner, Doohan and Lawson. ...

Wolfson DS-101a noise-cancelling headphones

Michael Neeves, 15 February 2011 17:44

Wolfson DS-101a noise-cancelling headphones. £39.99Time used: Three months What’s good: I’ve always liked the idea of listening to music on long motorway journeys or boring commutes, but I also can’t ride without earplugs (actually, ear plug, I’m deaf in one ear), so I was keen to try these. I hoped they’d do the job of both. They’re ‘in-ear’ headphones, which ...

Mick Grant: Takin’ The Mick

Michael Neeves, 07 February 2011 17:25

Mick Grant: Takin’ The Mick, £19.99Time read: Three days What’s good: Although I’m a fanatical racing fan, my racing consciousness doesn’t really start until about 1987. I had a decent idea of who Mick Grant is and what he’s achieved in his career, but I bought his autobiography more to read about his involvement with James Whitham in the late ...

Michael Neeves, 07 February 2011 16:33

Alpinestars Tech Heated Vest. £299.95 Time used: Two months What’s good: I’m new to this heated clothing lark and I now ask myself why I never tried it years ago. It’s brilliant. This heated ‘vest’ (more a body warmer) is comfortable and easy to use, you just plug into a lead fitted to the bike’s battery and off you go.The ...

Glove review: Alpinestars 365 Gore-Tex

Michael Neeves, 10 November 2010 13:47

Alpinestars 365 Gore-Tex gloves, £159.95Miles covered/time: Well over 20,000-miles touring, road testing and racing/two years. What’s good? Along with my lid and earplugs, these gloves are my favourite bits of biking kit. The best thing about them is they’re warm and waterproof, but feel and look every inch like a racing glove. That makes them perfect for riding sports bikes ...
