Tyre review: Michelin Pilot Road 3

Andy Downes, 26 November 2012 11:15

Michelin Pilot Road 3 tyres, £235 (approx)Miles covered/time: 1000 miles/six months What’s good: I tried a set of these Michelins on a Honda CBF1000 that I was running over winter a while back and they were amazing. Sticking them on my old 1998 Honda CBR600F has transformed the braking, handling and wet grip. The bike is so much better than ...

Alpinestars El Nino waterproofs

Best bit? The way they stood up to a 60mph highside (resulting in a toasty fireball) at Brands Hatch last year, leaving just a tiny hole in the elbow which, for the money was a very impressive performance. Worst bit? The knee armour can get a bit uncomfortable after a while. Stars (out of five) *****Product: Rev-It GP Replica suitCost: ...

Product review: Scottoiler FS365 Protector Spray

Andy Downes, 02 April 2009 17:30

Best thing about it: As an antidote to the horribly salty British winter roads the FS365 Protector Spray is just one part of the armoury needed to keep corrosion at bay. I use it after every ride when I get home – even daily commuting. The best tip is to pour it into a pump-action plant sprayer as it saves ...
