Oakley Mayhem MX goggles, £49.99Miles covered/time: 1000/eight months What's good? They’re very light and as such they’re really comfortable. Even though I wear glasses under the goggles, which has been awkward with other goggles, the Oakleys are light and flexible enough to slip over my glasses without trying to push them out of shape or into my temples. The interchangeable ...

Trials Evolution, 1200 Microsoft Points (about £12)Time used: Three weeks What's good? Pretty much everything. This is the sequel to the hugely popular and brilliant Trials HD, and as such takes everything that was good about that and takes it up to 11. Levels are bigger, more fun/frustrating and the skill games have been taken to another level entirely, with ...

Knox Cold Killers face and neck mini tube, £16.99Miles covered/time: 1300/three months What's good: At first I was sceptical it wouldn’t be much better than a simple cotton neck warmer, but it is. It’s much warmer than your average and the extra part, which covers the top of your back, front and shoulders, stops any draft getting down your jacket. ...

Oxford RT60 roll bag, £89.99 Miles covered/time: 1500/two months What's good: With a 60-litre capacity this roll bag will swallow most things you care to chuck in it.

SBK 2011, £39.99Time played: One month What's good? The career mode so far is quite enjoyable – you work your way from Superstock 1000s to World Supersport and then, if you’re good enough, into WSB. I especially enjoy that you can choose your own riding style – elbows out like Ben Spies or smooth like Troy Bayliss. The SBK Tour ...

Moto Syberia DVD, £19.99 Time watched: Two months What's good: 'Three men with large penises' and 'muscle building montage' are perhaps not titles you would expect to see during a motorcycle adventure film, but both of these appear in Moto Syberia. If you haven’t seen it, you can probably guess that Moto Syberia isn’t exactly a serious adventure film. It’s ...

Likewise if you want to get cracking in the career mode for a couple of hours ...

It comes with two kidney protectors which can ...
