BUMBLE BEE BRILLIANCE
The range of models in Triumph's entry level 400cc category has been expanded with a bike that stylistically sits a little truer to the 'Scrambler' epithet.

CORRECT MIXTURE
Back in the thrilling days when major factories duked it out for the promo bennies of winning the Daytona 200, it was fascinating to walk along pit lane during practice, seeing the bikes and their technologies close-up.

Some Like it Hot All about heated clothing
Being cold on a motorcycle isn't just unpleasant, it's potentially dangerous! The human body is designed to maintain a stable internal temperature of around 37°c. When it drops by just a couple of degrees, hypothermia starts to kick in, causing symptoms including shivering, mild confusion, lack of coordination/fumbling hands and drowsiness. None of which help you control a bike. And that's only mild hypothermia!

Test fleet: Honda NT1100 DCT ES
As another chunk of monthly mileage takes my NT1100 over the 10,000-mile mark, I assess my current and future relationship with it. Overall, the Honda gets a good score, with a similar vote coming from a fellow owner.

Snakes and Ladders in the South-west
Snakes and Ladders is more than just a simple game to some. In fact, over the centuries it's been used to teach moral values, to illustrate the various ups and downs of life, and even to help instil leadership skills. The road to success it seems to say is one that climbs worthy ladders while avoiding the slippery snakes of shame.

Outer Hebrides - Tour of Ancient Sites
Since moving from England to live in the north east of Scotland several years ago I have taken a motorcycle trip each year to the fabulous islands that surround this beautiful country. Living where I do means there are multiple routes to get either to the west or the north coast all through fantastic scenery and often on quiet roads designed it would seem specifically for motorcycling.

A river runs through it
Most of us have a river running through our lives. It may be the Thames, the Mersey, the Clyde, or the Wye. With around 1,500 rivers in the UK, most of us can identify with one. For me, it's the River Tweed. The Tweed rises near Moffat in the central Borders, and 95 miles later it flows into the North Sea at Berwick upon Tweed in Northumberland, England.
