Until our recent tropical spell I never understood why people would bike without full gear on.

I joined the non leather clad ranks and found it an excellent way to cool down!

Anybody else use I.C.E on their mobile? I had forgotten about this until reading the current MAG. Is there a better way to keep emergency contact details on you?

What’s the deal with the ‘real biker’ issue?

I’m confused! some seem to think you’re not a real biker if you don’t use your bike for everything – you ride all year round – you have a certain type of bike – certain size engine…
