'Jupiter's Travels', by Ted Simon

Expert rating:

5.0

Price: $13.91

View Offer

Read and recommended by Ben Clarke

As a listless third year university student, a mate of mine gave me a copy of Jupiter’s Travels and told me to read it. He knew what he was doing. A few weeks later he asked if I fancied touring the Americas by motorbike after we graduated, and I took less than a second to answer.

There’s no pretence or bravado in Simon’s writing. If he didn’t have a clue what he was doing in the early days of his trip (which was one enormous lag from the start) then he says so.

It makes the whole business of motorcycle travel seem accessible and like something we should all try, regardless of skills, knowledge or funding.

I had the privilege of meeting Ted at the MCN London Motorcycle Show one year and he’s every bit as charming, honest and approachable as I’d hoped he would be. Even if it doesn’t inspire a trip of your own, you won’t regret giving Jupiter’s Travels a read.

'The Moment Collectors Asia', by Sam Manicom and Friends

Expert rating:

5.0

Price: $25.00

Read and recommended by Justin Hayzelden

Inspiration comes in many forms, not least in print, and this book of short stories about motorcycle travel is absolutely loaded with the stuff. Each chapter left me utterly entranced and wondering whether I should pack it all in and head off into the sunset on an adventure of my own.

The essence of ‘The Moment Collectors Asia’ is to capture a highlight from twenty different travellers as they experience the highs and lows of life on the road in one of the most geographically fascinating and culturally rich areas of the globe.

Lovingly curated by Sam Manicom, it tells not just the tales, but gives an insight into the people behind the pen and the bikes they ride. It’s the perfect antidote to a dark, grey winter, and a wonderful book for dipping into as needed. I carried my copy around for a couple of months, immersing myself into each story as and when I had the time to really drink it all in. But be warned – there’s a danger it might change your life!

I read this book as I have always been a fan of Guy Martin. The book is written exactly as you would expect it to be, it reads as if Guy is speaking to you with all his mannerisms and accent quirks come across on the page. He goes through many of the key experiences of his life including his upbringing, family and the racing, giving a nice insight into the man that doesn’t really like to be in the media and public eye.

I really enjoyed the relaxed style of writing where I could almost hear his voice in my head as I read through the pages. It gives a bit of an idea of how his mind works and why he enjoys such brutal and terrifying challenges so much. If you’re a fan of Guy Martin, then I would definitely recommend it as a relaxing read that can be picked up and put down whenever you have a spare hour or so.

Leathered: A Life Taken to Extremes by John Hopkins

Expert rating:

5.0

Rrp: $14.99

Price: $10.99

View Offer

Read and recommended by Ben Clarke

Some stories transcend their genre and this autobiography from American racer, John Hopkins, certainly fits the bill. There’s plenty of behind-the-scenes racing detail for avid bike fans to get their teeth into but even non-bikers will enjoy (or maybe squirm along with) tales of drunken excess, addiction and even drug smuggling!

His accounts of his (many) crashes leave nothing to the imagination, either, and miraculously not one seems to have been his fault… It’s riveting stuff from start to finish and, despite being a fairly slow reader usually, I burned through it in a few days.

Loop Experience 2

Expert rating:

5.0

Price: £29.95

Tested by Ben Clarke

"Loop have become well-known for their noise-reducing ear plugs that come in a huge variety of colours and with differing amounts of attenuation depending on the model.

"The recommended option for bikers is the Experience, which offers a 17dB noise cut to protect your hearing while letting you hear the traffic around you and your own engine sound.

"I've been using Loop products for years and these latest are from the Sublime range released for autumn/winter 2024. The colour options are intended to evoke memories or the late nineties, but the plugs themselves are just the same as the standard Experience 2s.

"The Loops are instantly comfortable and having worn them on and off for around six hours on that first afternoon, I can say that they remain comfortable for extended periods. It’s great to be able to hear other traffic around you clearly from a safety perspective, but I also noticed I could hear the engines of the bikes I was riding better (which is always good) and also found it easier to speak with colleagues without taking my helmet off on work rides.

"It’s always great when a product does what it promises and these ear plugs from Loop really fit that description. It’s a simple idea executed perfectly with great attention to detail and design touches."

Alpine MotoSafe Race Motorcycle Earplugs

Expert rating:

5.0

Price: £14.99

www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk

View Offer

Tested by Justin Hayzelden for 3 months over 2400 miles

I’ve tried all kinds of earplugs, from foam disposables to bespoke custom jobbies and these are by far the easiest to insert. That’s because they come with a short plastic tube that makes sliding them into your lugholes less fiddly than any other method and allows you to give them a wiggle to ensure they’re seated correctly. Foam plugs take a while to expand and can drift out once you’ve got your helmet on, and bespoke ones can be an awkward squeeze, especially when your ears are cold.
MotoSafe are manufactured using Alpine’s ‘ThermoShape’ material, a substance that stays soft and easily conforms to the ear canal. They’re so comfortable that sometimes I have to dab a finger in just to check they’re still in place. I’ve had them in for over 8 hours at a stretch without any issues at all.

Without using a controlled scientific method, testing earplugs is a very subjective process. Although the MotoSafe have a lower SNR than others I’ve tried, I’ve found that they are among the most comfortable to wear, easiest to fit and offer a reduction in noise that keeps fatigue at bay. I’d gladly shell out £15 a couple of times a year on these, as the fact that they don’t leave my ears ringing is perhaps the best indication that they’re doing a good job.

Read Justin's full review of the Alpine MotoSafe Earplugs

Pros

These earplugs are good fit, more comfortable than most other earplugs I've previously used
The Race version offer the best sound reduction for motorcycle riders
I’ve had them in for over 8 hours at a stretch without any issues at all
These are washable and re-useable which is great because I don't like disposable earplugs
A helpful fitting tool and a convenient case are included

Cons

Tour version is designed more for urban riding, and not as effective for motorway or faster riding with more wind noise
Some say they don't fit securely into narrow ear canals which causes them to fall out when putting on their helmet

Charlotte joined the MCN team as a Product Writer in February 2024. Growing up in a family of bikers, it was almost certain she would eventually ride herself, and she passed her test in July 2021. Though her early fascination with motorbikes was strong, her passion for horses initially took precedence, consuming much of her time and finances.Eventually, Charlotte transitioned from horseback riding to motorcycling, purchasing a Suzuki SV650s. Her collection grew to include a Honda CBR600RR, but an accident caused by faulty traffic lights led to the bike being written off and Charlotte sustaining some injuries. Undeterred, she returned to riding as soon as she recovered, continuing with her SV650s. Recently, she added an Aprilia RS660 to her garage, proudly continuing her journey as a dedicated biker.
