We've covered some splendidly arcane riding skills in this series so far, but this one's a doozy.

Guy Procter, 01 April 2010 14:39

Super-skilled stunt ace Kevin Carmichael proved that mishaps happen to the very best of us, at this year’s MCN Scottish Motorcycle Show.

Guy Procter, 26 March 2010 10:02

Humberside police have helpfully posted this somewhat threatening video about how fast they can ride on their Hayabusa, in use as part of their ‘Operation Achilles’ bike-nabbing scheme.

Following the first instalment of our new esoteric riding skills series we were delighted to hear from the don of obscure riding wisdom himself, author Pat Hahn.

With the Greek economic crisis much in the news, here’s one rider in Athens who won’t have to worry about the family finances much longer. Coupling an undeniably impressive ability to get from A-to-B with the minimum of delay with a truly giddying disregard for safety, we’re pleased and astonished to say this video ends happily. It’s a good lesson ...

Esoteric riding skills no1: Putting your bike on its sidestand on hot tarmac

Guy Procter, 26 February 2010 15:42

We ploughed through 150 pages of Pat Hahn’s excellent ‘Maximum Control – Mastering Your Heavyweight Bike’ to unearth this little treasure: ‘Be careful with parking on hot asphalt, which can suck a sidestand down and leave you with a bike to pick up. 'If you know the surface is soft, find a painted line to set your sidestand on; the ...
