Tuzo Speed leather jacket

Steve Farrell, 22 June 2011 11:19

Tuzo Speed leather jacket, £99.99 at www.mcnshop.com Miles covered/time: 500/one month What’s good: At this price, the Tuzo Speed Jacket is great value for money. It’s a tad rough around the edges under close inspection. Where some jackets have a zip and a popper fastener on the cuffs, this just has zips.  But it’s nicely styled in what feels like pretty ...

HJC RPHA-10 helmet

Steve Farrell, 17 May 2011 09:40

HJC RPHA-10 helmet, £249.99 (£229.99 on MCN shop) Steve Farrell Miles covered/time: 3000/three months What's good: For me, the best thing is the fit. I’m sure I’m not alone in having an oval-shaped head. Many helmets which initially seem to fit cause an agonising pressure point on my forehead after an hour of wearing. The HJC RPHA-10, though, fits perfectly. ...

Alpinestars Drystar ST-5 trousers

Steve Farrell, 09 May 2011 15:24

Alpinestars Drystar ST-5 trousers, £179.99 Miles covered/time: 3000/three months What's good: Like most Alpinestars stuff, they make motorcycling look good. The side pockets are useful but also lend the Alpinestars trousers a cargo-pants look. They’re comfortable, with soft, flexible armour at the knee and hip, and warm thanks to a removable thermal lining. I gave the waterproofing an extreme test ...

Product review: Weise waterproof over-trousers

Steve Farrell, 30 March 2011 13:43

Weise waterproof over-trousers, £14.99Time used: Four years What’s good: These nylon trousers have a good old-fashioned rubber coating inside (none of this breathable membrane nonsense) which is why they’re cheap and effective. Save £££s on motorcycle products They’ve kept me dry over many miles, more so than some textile trousers costing several times as much. They fold to a size ...

Product review: Oxford Bumper cable lock

Steve Farrell, 30 March 2011 12:29

Oxford Bumper cable lock, £3.99 (£3.79 on MCN shop)Time used: Six years What's good: It’s convenient and useful for low-risk applications like locking a helmet to a wheel while you pop into a shop. It will fit in the smallest nook or pocket and it’s so light you’ll forget it’s there. Save £££s on motorcycle locks In a not-particularly scientific ...

QinetiQ Ocellus S100 tracker, £299 + £2.95 per month +.20p per text Miles covered/time: 10 months/6000 miles What’s good: Your bike moves; you know about it. The device, which is about the size of a mobile phone from the nineties, can be slung under your seat, or hidden away somewhere more discreet if you like, and whenever it moves you’ll ...

Skidmarx black flip-up screen

Steve Farrell, 07 February 2011 17:40

Skidmarx black flip-up screen, £32.95 Miles covered/time: 3000/two years What’s good: After getting my 24-year-old Kawasaki AR125 re-sprayed (don’t ask why – I don’t know the answer), the scratched dirty-brown screen was spoiling the party.I was pleasantly surprised, then, to find Skidmarx still offers standard and flip-up screens for this and a wide range of other bikes dating from the ...

Product review: Weise cotton balaclava

Steve Farrell, 03 February 2011 10:59

Weise cotton balaclava, £5.99Miles covered/time: 2000/two months What’s good: Simple, effective and cheap, this is the best way I’ve found to stop my face falling off in our recent Arctic-style winters. Some balaclavas are made from expensive newfangled materials with made-up names that end in ‘tex’. This one is nothing more than a thin layer of soft cotton, which means ...

Product review: Tucano Urbano throat collar

Steve Farrell, 26 January 2011 16:07

Tucano Urbano throat collar, £29 Time owned: Two monthsWhat’s good: Balaclavas can be itchy and irritating and are insufferable if you get the sneezes. This alternative promises protection from the wind and wet without smothering your face. It attaches to your helmet with sticky Velcro patches so you only have to put one thing on your head instead of two, ...

Tyre review: Avon Roadrider

Steve Farrell, 11 January 2011 16:19

Avon Roadrider tyres, £115 (from £52.99 per tyre on MCN Shop)Miles covered/time: 1000/nine months What’s good? Having a 1980s bike doesn’t mean having to reply on 1980s rubber. These Avon Roadriders have brought my 1986 Kawasaki GPz550 up to date and are infinitely superior to the concrete-like tyres that were on it when I bought it. Save cash on motorcycle ...
