Re: Trail Braking - Flavour of the month/year?
Trail braking appears trendy. And it's not only Motorcycle World but RiDE magazine that's promoted it for road riding. This month's issue (December) of RiDE features advice about how to ride in the rain, with seven techniques for road riding. And one of them is to use the rear brake during cornering...

Re: 80mph on the motorway as bad as drink driving
OP, forget it, long ago I was suggesting that the IAM was becoming only interested in its survival and the jobs at HQ. This, of course, means following the dominant politics of the day. As an IAM member, I too would like to see it not only survive but thrive. And it means we need a well-staffed HQ ...

Isn't that true though when there are hazards? I prefer the term "appropriate speed". This nuance matters if we want to bring more riders into the fold; we need communications that engage non-members effectively. Otherwise, the IAM will become like BRAKE: a lobbying organisation (resultin...

80mph on the motorway as bad as drink driving
Yes, I know, IAM HQ has occasionally sounded somewhat holier than thou. But has it got significantly worse? Recently, we had this communication: New study reveals advanced motorcyclists are more safety conscious but still enjoy their riding . Aside from the headline being crap for a press release ta...
