If you don’t know that the new-generation Indian is coming later this year, then you’ve been living under a rock. Polaris, owner of Victory Motorcycles and Indian, has launched a drip-feed PR campaign this year, gradually unveiling bits of information about the coming bike. The biggest unveiling was the release...
I’d like to introduce Georgia Melville (right in the photo); a beautiful young woman in body and spirit. I met...

Just because you like roughing it in the bush on your adventure bike doesn’t mean your head has to suffer as well. That’s why I wear a BMW Enduro helmet. Alcantra is a soft suede-like material BMW uses in the upholstery of its luxury cars. The liner in my BMW...
Just as new model bikes are finding new niches, so rider gear also has to follow suit. The latest craze...
The Suzuki C90T is a cruiser set up for long-haul touring. It’s been a long time between drinks for Suzuki...
The Ducati Panigale is one hot bike. Not just because it’s Italy’s most powerful production bike, Ducati’s fastest yet and designed with Italian passion. No, it’s also hot because your bum and legs will burn in the heat pouring out of the fairing. But that’s ok. This is not an...
The Victory Cross Roads soft bagger is set up to cross this wide brown land in comfort, style and safety....
Let’s not get too excited, but the Queensland Government is thinking about lifting speed limits on some roads to 130km/h....
There’s a growing new breed of riders out there: Weekday warriors. They prefer the relative quiet of riding through the week rather than the hectic free practice of weekend dashes between favourite biker hang-outs. There are no “Sunday drivers”, no MotoGP wannebes, no caravans and basically very little traffic. That...
I’ve been using a couple of Reevu helmets for several months now and have found that they are not only...
This stunning Italian beauty not only has looks, but also the personality to win the hearts of many riders. Moto...
The new Harley Softail Breakout started life as a Custom Vehicle Operations (CVO) model. While that models cost $42,990 (plus on-road costs), the “standard” model comes in at a realistic $28,990. The best news is you can accessorise the standard model up to a CVO level, except, of course for the 110...
Not all Chinese bikes are flimsy, low-quality, low-capacity machines made in tractor factories during down-time. CFMoto’s naked 650cc twin is...

My wife has been reading a lot of books about positive education and recently attended a teaching conference on the same subject. You know the stuff: power of positive thinking, surround yourself with positive people, keep your mind active, stay healthy blah blah blah. I’ve been a journalist all my...

Three-time 500cc and two-time 125 GP winner Garry McCoy is still leaving tyre marks where he goes. The legendary “Mr...
It’s Curtains for stiff suspension. Many riders set up their suspension too stiff. Don’t take my word for it … that’s the advice from someone who should know – Kevin Curtain. He’s won so many Australian championships and international races, he’s forgotten. In fact, long after we chatted to him...
Just because you want to take the adventurous route doesn’t mean you have to suffer an ugly bike. The Benelli...
There are those who say carrying pillion riders spoils the bike’s handling, retards the throttle, applies the brakes and halves...
Winston Churchill called depression his “black dog”. John Skinner calls his black dog, Scrambles. And he says Scrambles has helped him fight off debilitating bouts of depression. Back in 2008, John and Scrambles rode their aptly painted matte-black Triumph Scrambler across Australia, becoming the first man and dog to ride...
There is nothing cruisy about the Ducati Diavel. Despite some thinking that this would be the Italian bike manufacturer’s first...
A friend of mine recently got a rude shock when he opened a Queensland Government stamped envelope. I’ll let him...
I’m a little bit sad. It seems like Big Red has lost its Mojo. It seems Honda is more concerned with the volume Indian and Chinese markets these days. The company that brought us the CB750, Fireblade, Blackbird and so many GP victories seems to have lost its way since...
I’m a self-confessed trike virgin, but I am looking forward to road testing this TourOz Trike which arrives tomorrow. Is...
Could this be the start of something retro for BMW?
The big Bavarian has been striving to reach a younger...
I’ve been testing a couple of bikes recently that got me thinking about being a supposedly rebel biker. Why are bikes and bikers cast as rebels, outlaws, or villains? And indeed is that a bad thing? I see bikes as a green solution to our woeful state of traffic, an...
