I have been using Fog City Fog Thing anti fog inserts which laminate to the inside of a goggle lens and work brilliantly to prevent misting of the lens forever. I can't seem to find anyone who stocks them now that Pinlock have taken over Fog City and reduced their range to just the one visor. Does anyone kn...

Having spoken to John Heal today regarding the upcoming Wolborough Enduro near Newton Abbot next weekend can I urge anyone who is planning to enter to get their entries in ASAP. I know the regs said entries closed last week but that was just a typo. I know racing is may not be your thing and that's fine, bu...
Alright there Went to Cheddar Motopark practice day today, Bike was performing amazingly until the end, i went to accelerate and when my bike hit the power band, the engine shuddered making the whole bike vibrate making a slightly unusual sound.

I've just resigned as Vice Chairman as I have no interest in working with fat working class people. My approach to life is too 'out there' for the majority of kitchen table users. Adios, good luck!
