    Crank or Hub Motor. Which is best?

    Neither is "best" As a brand that makes both... we have both on our demo fleet and I can tell you crank drive is best for some people in some circumstances, hub drive is best for some people in some circumstances. The reputation of hub drive bikes has been damaged by some of the junk that's...

    This mornings Sunday Times

    Now I learnt something new this week on this. According to the gent who wrote that piece (Mark Hookham) whilst doing his research he'd spoken to a number of people including the DVLA who told him they'd registered 750 eBikes for use on the roads. Now I tried to get a bit more detail out of...

    Theresa May,the Dictator...

    I'd welcome you to come up here and help me out with my business then... because I can assure you this increase in our cost prices and the uncertainty we're facing is most definitely having a negative impact on my business.

    This mornings Sunday Times

    I can promise you I spent close to an hour on the phone to the Sunday Times before they wrote this piece. I am actually quoted, and I explained again and again to them that the details are important. They seem to have missed lots of the important bits in an attempt to get to a word limit.

    I have an Irish grandfather so I will be getting myself an Irish passport :) and whilst this isn't Brexit related, it is going to be another thing that increases the costs of imported goods into the UK over the next 6 months...

    Giant Road e+1 Hill Climbing and Noise test

    I know the forest managers there and the trail centre builders and I assure you they do care. I grew up in that area and have raced their many many times. Its not about how fast you do or do not go, its about the fact you are riding an illegal vehicle on their trails and neither they nor you are...

    exDemo 2016 KTM Macina Force 27 10 CX4 - 21"

    Just realised there is an error in the title. The bike is the Macina Force 10 CX4 29, not 27. So it has the 29er wheel, not the smaller 27" Sorry.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    a refugee is a type of migrant - so its not the BBC blurring anything, its a clear definition.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I don't want or need your applause... however I'd appreciate if you didn't just a whole mass of people as "coming here for benefits" In my eyes the solution is simply. Allow them in legally, let them work, and tax them the same as everyone else. We all benefit.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    This is a fundamental problem. Everyone I know who is here from the EU, which is quite a few, and I even have a good friend who was a childhood refugee from croatia.... They have all come to work, and they work damn hard. They have not come here for benefits.

    Newbie...KTM macina tour 10 P5 2016...views?

    Just a slight addition to Eddie's post. The 2016 versions of the KTM's now come with wired in lights, not the dynamo that was supplied in 2015. Its a subtle difference, but a nice change. Also, you'll find the geometry charts for the Macina Tour here...

    I just love the hypocrisy of it all. Farage blasted U.S. President Barack Obama for weighing in on the British referendum to leave the European Union. http://www.politico.eu/article/nigel-farage-barack-obama-behaved-disgracefully-by-campaigning-against-brexit-eu-referendum/ And then weighs in...
