If your bike breaks it’s not always right or easy to point the blame and claim off someone else.
Q I bought a 2004 RSV Mille R a little over two years ago. I had put 3,000 miles on it before I put it in for its service at a non-franchised but perfectly reputable dealer, but about 1,500 miles after the service the engine seized. I do not really know how. I did the basic maintenance but had the more complicated stuff done by a bike shop. I have not touched the engine or gearbox. I have asked the original dealer for my money back as the bike was unfit for purpose but he has very rudely refused. First of all he was mildly sympathetic and started telling me about how bikes get more fragile with age but when I started to press for my money back he got dismissive and rude.

ROSSI'S RANCH - LA 100KM DEI CAMPIONI
It's not every day you get the invite to trade paint, drifts and stories with Rossi and a bunch of world champions, but that's how life played out for the Neave twins a few weeks back.
RATING RUBBER...
We love a tyre launch, and especially ones of a sporty disposition. So when Michelin dropped us a line about not one, but two additions to their range, we didn't need our arm twisting to get stuck in and see what they're all about...

I'm fresh back from the South African Classic TT races and Christ, it's still bloody raining over here.
