The figures from the MCI now speak for themselves: 26,000 motorcycles going missing every year in the UK, most of these are less than 3 years old and, most scary for us Londoners, 35 of these every day (or nearly 50% of the total UK theft) is taken from our streets, which is a higher number than new vehicles sold on most days.

The Alpinestars Long Range 2 Review

One of the few things I like about Winter is being able to pull on really thick and warming clothing; to wrap up all snug and be protected from the elements. Sadly my increasingly aged Hein Gericke Tricky III suit was becoming too old in the tooth to keep even the faintest tendrils of winter at bay – it was never the same after washing it frankly, a mistake I won’t make with this new suit.

The DSA's Enhanced Rider’s Scheme – A Rider’s Experience
