Product Test: Go Pro HD Hero 2 camera

Michael Neeves, 03 June 2013 08:15

Go Pro HD Hero 2 camera, £299.99 Tester: Michael Neeves Time tested: 30,000 miles/one year What’s good? Go-Pro video cameras are easy to use and produce clear, top-quality images. I’ve been using mine for MCN road tests and videos of my racing for a year. With the bracket-mounts and suction cups, the trick is find the most unusual place to ...

Product review: Proguard Fleximonitors custom earphones

Michael Neeves, 26 November 2012 11:31

Proguard Fleximonitors custom earphones, £219.00Time used: One year What’s good: This is my second review of these custom moulded in-ear headphones and I’m even more impressed with them a year on. They’re made from rubbery plastic using a mould taken from your ear. They do two things: block out as much noise as a normal foam earplug and let you ...

Accessory Review: Oxford Blanket

Michael Neeves, 06 November 2012 11:43

Oxford Blanket £9.49 Time used: One month What’s good? This anti-slip matting is really handy and at just under a tenner for a 600 x 900mm sheet, you get a lot for your money. I’ve been using it on the tank and back seat of my Ducati Streetfighter 848 long termer to stop my tailpack and tank bag moving around ...

Leathers review: Alpinestars Racing Replica one-piece

Michael Neeves, 19 October 2012 14:26

Alpinestars Racing Replica one-piece suit. £1999.99Time used: One year What’s good: These protected me from serious injury a few weeks ago after a cold tyre highside going in to Graham Hill bend at Brands Hatch, on my race bike. It was one of those crashes when I fell from a great height rather than speed, so it’s more about how ...

Luggage review: Givi TW02 30-litre waterproof roll bag

Michael Neeves, 21 September 2012 16:52

Givi TW02 30-litre waterproof roll bag, £40.85 Miles covered/time: 2753/one week What’s good: It’s the first time I’ve ever used anything like this, I’d normally have a conventional tail pack. It’s basically a big, tubular, waterproof sack and it’s big enough to store my shoes, jeans, undercrackers, T-shirts, shirts, shorts, toiletries and an assortment of electrical leads and adaptors. It’s ...

Luggage review: Givi T470SM small tank bag

Michael Neeves, 14 September 2012 09:44

Givi T470SM small tank bag, £52.50 and T460B universal ‘Tank Fitting System’ (TFS), £17.33Miles covered/time: 2753/one week What’s good: I used this on an intense week-long riding trip to Italy and France. The universal TFS base straps easily around the frame rails and headstock of my Ducati Streetfighter 848 and the tank bag clips even easier to the base, for ...

Product Review: Alpinestars Tech Chest Guard

Michael Neeves, 23 August 2012 11:30

Alpinestars Tech Chest Guard £44.99Time used: Six yearsWhat’s good: I’m so used to wearing a chest protector now that if I forget to use it, I go into a blind panic, especially if I’m racing. I feel as naked without it as I do without a back protector. I use it in my race leathers on-track mainly, but also in ...

Product review: Gold Label Soft Saddle Soap

Michael Neeves, 16 August 2012 10:09

Gold Label Soft Saddle Soap, £3.85 for 500gTime used: 15 years What’s good: This is the secret to my clean leathers, boots and gloves. I bought this saddle soap in a horsey shop in Canterbury in 1997, it’s lasted all this time and there’s still loads left. I run a damp sponge over my leathers first and then use a ...

Product review: Alpinestars Quick Seal Out Jacket and Pants

Michael Neeves, 16 August 2012 09:50

Alpinestars Quick Seal Out Jacket and Pants £89.99Time used: Six months What’s good: I’ve had more use out of these two-piece waterproofs than I’d like this year, thanks to all the rain we’ve had. They’re lightweight and fold away to almost nothing, so you can keep them in a rucksack or tank bag without taking up loads of room, which ...

Product review: BMW HP Race Datalogger

Michael Neeves, 07 June 2012 16:41

BMW HP Race Datalogger, £530Time used: Four months What’s good: This plug-and-play datalogger lets you keep on enjoying your 2010-2012 S1000RR long after you’ve finished riding. Designed for the track, after each session or race you just plug a memory stick into the back of the bike to download the data, then upload it on to your computer – it’s ...
