As we head to the polls with the verdict at unbackable odds, it’s interesting for riders to check out the parties‘ views on motorcycles.

Who would like to buy a new KTM 640 Adventure? Yeah, me too. But you can’t. It seems like this midweight adventure touring bike was built with Australia in mind with its robust chassis able to carry plenty of gear, suspension capable of tackling just about anything, and enough comfort...

Here we go with another rave about speed cameras. After recent announcements in Queensland that the speed tolerance would be...
Postie bike adventures seem to be the latest rage. In the wake of various “official” postie bike charity rides, several groups of bikers have decided to organise their own adventures. Guy Basile, a talented rider and adventure nut, is currently on a private postie bike ride in the snow down...
It’s about time we had a mature debate in Australia about lane-splitting and filtering. It’s legal in places like California...
Don’t you just love it when technology works?
Over the past few months I have been testing a Sena SMH10...
When I threw my leg over the Moto Guzzi Griso test bike at Springwood Suzuki I immediately had one of those “oh-oh!” moments. I was about to embark on a bit of an adventure trip which included riding from dawn to sunset (albeit on the shortest day of the year)....

The Suzuki worker who named this bike Inazuma must be a bit of a rogue. Inazuma is Japanese for lightning....
It wasn’t until I rode with the HJC FS15 AIR helmet on a race track that I discovered its greatest virtue. Those who have ridden on a race track will know that feeling of being strangled by your own helmet straps as you pass the starting line at speeds that...
A group of tough bikers has been informally meeting at Byron Bay lighthouse at dawn every summer solstice for several...
There are some bikes that scream and demand attention. And then there are those that quietly go about their business...
For years Queenslanders have been told that “every K over kills”, yet we’ve never been provided with any such evidence. Just how many people die or are injured in accidents where the speed is just a few km/h over the posted speed?
Silence. Yet Police Commissioner Ian Stewart has now...

The KTM 390 Duke street bike adds to their range of learner-approved motorcycles (LAMS). It was to arrive about now, but KTM has announced it is coming in August, costing $6495, which is $500 cheaper than the price they announced just a few months back. More importantly, it’s only $300...

Stylmartin is not a familiar brand to Australian motorcycle riders. However, they were worn by former world GP champs Wayne...
There is no replacement for displacement and you’ll buy the Yamaha Star Tourer (XV1900AT) just for its thumping engine. At 1854cc, or 113 cubic inches in the old vernacular, it’s the biggest V-twin in a production bike in the world. But rather than feeling like two rhinos bouncing on...
This page is not all about me. I also invite you to review your own bike. In coming months I...
Motorcycle riders have been left feeling a little flat after a bike safety report that promised so much has failed...
New riders are spoilt for choice these days, including the special made-for-Australia Ducati Monster 659 ABS. Since the special learner-approved model launched in June 2011, 750 new riders have bought the Monster, making it the third-highest-selling naked model in Australia. Now Ducati Australia has dropped $1000 off the recommended retail...

There is a swarm of bees heading our way this spring. Well, not exactly bees, but Suzuki Boulevard M109R Black Edition cruisers. They come in a stinging black and yellow paintscheme that makes them look like bees. I haven’t made my mind up yet if I love or loathe the...
Take the new BMW scooters for a test ride and you could end up forgetting you are on a scooter....
I’m heading off in the rain this afternoon to the Gold Coast for the launch tomorrow of the Triumph Tiger...
Every rider should have a good all-weather riding suit in their cupboard. Just because it’s raining outside (like it is here in the “Sunshine State” today!) doesn’t mean you have to sit inside and play Candy Crush. Brisbane motorcycle apparel designer Ricondi has an excellent all-weather suit that I have...

Most people would like an Italian love affair in their life, but not everyone wants, or can afford, some of...
Oliver’s Motorcycles may be Brisbane’s newest motorcycle dealership, but it has ages of experience at the helm. “Remember when a motorcycle dealership was somewhere you escaped to, not from?” That slogan was developed by a good mate and riding partner, Carl Spencer of marketing, advertising and design company Carlosus, for a...
