I haven't used it, but we have someone reviewing one at the moment.

When I made that one, I knew the CRITT certification was underway for MotoAirBag, but it hadn't been completed. Notes it has, it really shows how much better it is than many others with the EN1621-4 Level 2 certification as well!

Won't the bond franchise fold in on itself like some rusty sherriff's badge black hole as Bond tackles his next villain... A megalomaniacal billionaire with his own space programme, hell-bent on controlling the world's media?

Cheers! Project Farm is awesome - a real benchmark!

Cheers! Way, way too many... This was particularly fiddly to edit, so took a few days. The testing is spread across months, with most of that just spraying the plates daily, but apart from that bit, probably about three weeks for this one I guess in total. I'm lucky that my job lets me do that.

I hope #Motosky doesn't descend into pathetic judgements of riders based on their bikes...

You could try bikeclub.bennetts.co.uk - we're trying to create a dedicated and friendly motorcycle platform there. Early days, but worth a look?

Based on my experience, the problem, at least here in the UK, is very weak dealer support when things go wrong.

Corrosion protectant (new test video coming Thursday), and keep it rinsed off as best you can.

What was the range like by then? I've heard that there's some big advances coming with battery tech. Electric motorcycles can be great too, but the range is really limited there. The Brammo Impulse R was a lot of fun though...

Thanks! I'll need to do a new jeans one soon I reckon, but they get really expensive!

Worse is the covert selling, which can lead to dangerous misinformation dressed up as 'science', reaching millions of people.

I had a 2019 XR and loved it, but it was just a bit too tall for me, putting me on tip toes. The first Tracer 9 GT was great, easily letting me get flat footed.

I reckon this will come down to the details. It'll be interesting to get up close as when I reviewed the 2022 Gold Star, I thought it was let down by some plastic shenanigans and very iffy suspension.

Exactly this! It bothers me too that, apart from devoting full attention to driving, I'm also apparently one of the few that take pride in it and - gasp - enjoy it.

What also worries me in his reply is that we need to question what he considers to be 'Americans'. Is that deliberately open?
