Aviva have been promoting their ‘Annuity Help For New Bikers’ with an advert showing a retired couple buying a motorcycle – a Triumph motorcycle no less – and then going off and enjoying their retirement as a result. Cool. Triumph have to be congratulated for getting their motorcycles in to this advert, but also Aviva [...]

Phew! The World Superbike and World Supersport racing from Vallelunga at the weekend left me breathless. In the first World Superbike race Troy Bayliss initially took the lead from pole position, but it was clear within a couple of laps that there was a problem with his machine and he couldn’t match the pace of [...]

Hairy Bikers and a match made in Hawg Haven
September 21st, 2008 · No Comments · Motorbikes on TV, Motorcycle News

September 15th, 2008 · No Comments · Motorbikes on TV

The first week featured Charley and the team setting out from Charley’s Dad’s house in Ireland on a Triumph bobber that he had built. Then riding from Coventry Transport Museum via the motorway services on the M40 to [...]
Top Gear – Jeremy Clarkson – driving a car just for pleasure just like motorcyclists do! Hmmm….
September 15th, 2008 · No Comments · Motorbikes on TV
Last night whilst waiting for the Moto GP coverage to start I caught the tail end of Top Gear and listened to that plank Jeremy Clarkson trying to convince us that driving a metal box is more fun than a motorcycle – yeah right! He actually said motorcyclists ride their bikes just for the pleasure [...]

As predicted at last weekends’ Misano Moto GP and following testing on the Monday, Dani Pedrosa will ride on Bridgestone Tyres for the rest of the season.

Situation Vacant: British Eurosport Director for Motorcycle Racing coverage
August 29th, 2008 · No Comments · Motorbikes on TV, Motorcycle Racing
If only this were true…. I am sure I cannot be the only person who shouts at the TV when watching any of the motorcycle racing currently being shown on British Eurosport. Well, I know I’m not, a quick poll from friends and family showed that this seems to be a universal complaint. Not to [...]
