Product review: Kiddimoto Evel Knievel Kurve

Nick Lemon, 24 October 2012 10:24

Kiddimoto Evel Knievel Kurve £69.99 (matching helmet £34.99 - gloves £7.99) What’s good: Kurve is the newest addition to the award winning Kiddimoto range of wooden toddler balance bikes. The brilliant design is perfect to start children learning how to ride a bike and develop cycling skills before they get a bike with pedals. Suitable from ages two and upwards, ...

Book review: How your motorcycle works by Peter Henshaw

Marc Abbott, 24 September 2012 15:19

How your motorcycle works by Peter Henshaw, £9.99 What’s good: My brain absorbs pointless detail. I could tell you the numberplate of the Renault 14 we had in the early 1980s (DRW 722T, if you’re interested), but would struggle to explain adequately to my daughter how the planets revolve around the sun. If, like me, after 15 years of riding ...

Product review: Moto-trek Comet 350

Adam Child, 30 July 2012 12:30

Moto-trek Comet 350, £100 day hire (or £34,464 to buy)Miles covered/time: 450/four weeks, plus two weeks living. What’s good: It combines a luxurious motorhome with a spacious garage, rather than having either a motorhome and trailer or the more commonly used van and caravan like most racers. The front of the Comet accommodates up to four people on the move, ...

Product review: R&G Superbike Cover

Steve Farrell, 21 June 2012 16:28

R&G Superbike Cover, £43 Time used: One year What’s good: It has an elasticated hem to keep it on the bike, plus holes to thread a security chain through. There are air vents to let moisture escape and a foam insert to protect your tank. It’s waterproof (as you’d expect), heat resistant and affordably priced. What’s not: It’s small. R&G ...

Product review: Raleri PC Fogstop visor insert

Mark Holmes, 11 May 2012 10:27

Raleri PC Fogstop visor insert, £34.99Miles covered/time: 1500 miles/three weeks What’s good: I was hoping this photochromic effort would prove to be a visor insert for all seasons – and it very nearly fulfils that brief. The photosensitive material reacts quickly in darkening to shade your eyes when exposed to sunlight and is perfectly clear for night riding. Its anti-fog ...

Product review: NBM Woolford custom brake hose

Sean Warwick, 10 April 2012 17:40

NBM Woolford custom brake hose, £25.83Miles covered/time: N/a What’s good: Standard braided brake hose kits are all very well for standard fitment brake hoses, but if you need a custom size, where do you go? I needed a full hose to replace the part hose/part metal pipe front brake line on my BMW R100GS after acquiring a disc upgrade kit ...

Product review: BMW GS Enduro bodywarmer

Steve Farrell, 10 April 2012 17:01

BMW GS Enduro bodywarmer, £77 (discontinued)Time owned: Nine months What’s good: Wear it under a jacket while riding or on its own while not. It’s got pockets inside and out and it’s warm with a soft lining. It’s so comfy I wear it about the house and am constantly being told to take my coat off by my partner. Typically ...

White Diamond Metal Polish and Sealant

Marc Abbott, 19 December 2011 12:12

White Diamond Metals Polish and Sealant, £29.99 (currently on offer at £15)Time used: Three weeks What’s good: Everyone should have a bottle of this in their garage, even if it’s for “just in case” purposes. It cuts through surface dirt, returns most metals to as close to their original finish as possible, and can make the difference between a clean ...

Michael Neeves, 19 December 2011 11:53

Ben Spies: Taking it to the Next Level, by Larry Lawrence, £19.99Time used: One week What’s good: Written by American bike journalist Larry Lawrence, with quotes from friends, family, team members, rivals and Spies himself, this coffee table book is for the hardcore fan. It starts with a glowing foreword by the legendry Kevin Schwantz, then chronologically details Ben’s meteoric ...

Granger’s G-Max Universal Footwear Proofer

Marc Abbott, 05 December 2011 16:13

Granger’s G-Max Universal Footwear Proofer, £5.99Time used: One month What’s good: Quite simply, when applied to slightly damp leather or textiles, this spray faultlessly waterproofs. Here’s how good it is: My Lewis Leathers Westway boots have taken a hosing on their uppers. Nothing got through. I’ve sprayed it on a 16-year-old pair of cracked, scuffed and generally knackered paratrooper boots ...
