MRO Powerbike blog: Silverstone 18/19 June 2011

Michael Neeves, 22 June 2011 10:11

That was the best weekend’s racing I’ve ever had –three out of three wins (two in the dry, one in the wet). I just scraped the fastest lap of the weekend on Silverstone’s national circuit, ahead of fast-charging Mike Goodfellow on his superstock-spec Carbontek BMW S1000RR and set the lap record for the MRO Powerbike. Strangely, it’s my first ever ...

Ped Baker, 15 June 2011 12:37

Last weekend I fitted an eSystem chain oiling system to my long term Triumph Tiger 800.

Adam Child, 03 June 2011 14:28

After a busy week racing at the North West, I was invited by Harley-Davidson to be guest rider in the XR1200 Trophy at Thruxton – and I jumped at the chance. Racing in front of a packed BSB audience on the UK’s fastest track? How could I turn it down? Here are a few highlights of my weekend and hopefully ...

Harley test rides

Reismotor, 27 May 2011 05:33

Last weekend I tested two Harley-Davidsons - the Street Bob and Rocker C. For months I was thinking how I can make a videoshot from a motorcycle witch is riding through a camera. Now I found out... Can you tell me how I did it?

Michael Neeves MRO Powerbike blog: Brands Hatch GP

Michael Neeves, 23 May 2011 17:30

It’s been a busy old May. I rode my GSX-R750 to Le Mans to watch the MotoGP, tested a Taiwanese 50cc supermoto, carried out a Tuono group test, spent four days at Brands Hatch instructing and racing and then back to the Kent track to test Keith Flint’s new Moto2 bike. It’s back on the 750 for my first ever ...

Staff bikes: Ducati Diavel - A few tentative laps at Silverstone

Ian Jubb, 23 May 2011 16:22

This weekend was Ducati Days at Silverstone and it would've been rude not to attend and take the Diavel around the GP circuit. The first session of the afternoon arrived and I headed out with Maria Costello MBE to get some idea of where I was going. Silverstone is so huge, I was truly lost, no idea when, where and at what speed to turn ...

Staff bikes: Ducati Diavel - First impressions

Ian Jubb, 12 May 2011 14:32

A slow three hour train journey from Kings Lynn to Coventry allowed just enough time for the nerves to build up. I say nerves I mean more apprehension about the 162 horses waiting to be unleashed. The Diavel was without doubt going to be the most powerful bike I'd ever ridden. Luckily it's got traction control to help me when I get a bit ...

Triumph Thunderbird Storm first ride

MCN, 23 March 2011 16:36

The new Triumph Thunderbird Storm is a pared-down, mean and moody version of the standard Thunderbird. MCN's Phil West rode the bike last week and here are some of his thoughts: "Hinckley has become particularly adept recently at delivering well thought-out and crisply-executed machines that are both thoroughly developed and wanting for little. And the Storm, although developed from an ...
