Photon Cruise control review

  Despite my previous poor results with a Vista cruise control for motorcycles (which was really throttle lock device same as this is) I have decided to try another design since I have a large Australian tour coming up soon. The Photon Cruise 2 is a small device that clips on to your handlebar grip and to engage you simply use your finger to press it forward on to your brake lever. (See the next

Aprilla Caponord 1200 Review

  I had a chance to ride the new Aprilla Caponord today and came away very impressed. This is an interesting motorcycle in many ways. It has all the electronic rider aids that a top of the range BMW might feature plus more in a smaller and lighter and more sporty motorcycle. This motorcycle has a lot of clever electronics. It has two channel ABS and 3 levels of traction control to suit different

Gold Coast’s Best Motorcycle Roads

Including Northern NSW Some of these photos date back to the 90’s when I first started writing about alternative places to ride. Since then between internet forums, blogs and a number of local riding clubs there is much more awareness of places to ride so I feel no need to update things much.

More Malaysia Motorcycling

I have just returned from my second motorcycle ride in Malaysia and am even more impressed.  Previously I rented a motorcycle in Singapore as a side trip to a bigger holiday however this latest trip was a bit impromptu, deciding just a week or so before to go somewhere and Malaysia came straight to mind. I flew direct to Kuala Lumpur from Australia with Air Asia. Scooters Rule in SE Asia, look

Using a GPS for motorcycle touring

Edited September 2013

If you are going to tour another country or even just another state then a GPS can really make navigating easy however there are a number of things to consider before purchasing and also some user tricks you should know.

Unfortunately there really is only one brand with global map coverage and that is Garmin. I am surprised that nobody has tried to compete with them but as

5 simple ways to be warmer when riding this winter

I did a 1/2 day ride north this morning and noticed a lot of motorbikes out but most of them were parked at coffee shops with riders holding steaming mugs with both hands, crouched over, trying to get warm. Looking at all the expensive motorcycles I am guessing it is not lack of money that stops people from having proper winter gear but their desire to dress a certain way, to project a
