A track day is fun. A track day is exciting. A track day teaches you. All the words that you hear from people who have previously done it but as per normal, we as humans know best and think its a race rather than a learning curve. Turns out, it was a bit different to what I was expecting. This […]
Today is throw back Thursday so I thought I’ll try something slightly different! 2 years ago, I was invited to be in a team with 3 guys to do the 8 hour at Killarney. Now, 8 hour is not too difficult but it was on a motorcycle and that motorcycle is a 150cc Honda on a karting circuit. Workout of […]
I for one, am not a bakkie/pick up truck/ute fan. Never have been one and most likely will never be one but recently I had the opportunity to drive a new kid on the block. It looks like an American from the front, bold and big. A Japanese from the side in terms of height. A European from the back.Now […]
As you may know, this blog is all about the love and passion for bikes and cars as a whole. No matter the brand, the age, if it moves the soul it will move me! Kawasaki, a very interesting bike brand. They’ve always gone about getting the business done in a very uncontroversial way. The H2 and its twin, H2R, […]
Ever heard of JAC Motors? I know, neither had I but they are a very big motor brand in China. Now before you go and say anything about Chinese vehicles, most of our phones and computers and electronic devices have items that are manufactured in China and they are of really good build quality! The particular JAC that is in […]
Before I continue, let me begin by saying I have never looked at an Asian car to own or drive until recently. The new Atos arrived here a little while ago, about a year and a bit back, and I didn’t take notice. Needless to say, I searched around for cars online as you will naturally do during a pandemic! […]
There are a few cars in this world who get me excited these days. Cars are either all looking the same, becoming too advanced and taking the driving away from the driver or just not up to the standard we were used to. Okay before anyone attacks me, I do believe that this time and age we are in for motoring […]
When the 390 motor dropped a few years again, a lot of people (including me) questioned why KTM only did a road bike but not an adventure bike in this size cc. Well, after spy shots for a time that felt longer than what this lockdown has felt like, KTM finally released the bike this year! Now, I am not […]
Right, so, you’re new to KTM. You may think KTM has never dipped their toes in the superbike scene. You’d be forgiven for this because the only superbike KTM decided to produce was a masterpiece called the RC8 and RC8R. Wait… KTM has a MotoGP called the RC16. While, yes, yes they do but that is something completely different and […]
Picture this, you’re on the coast and in the mountains, it is a sunny day with not a breath of wind. You open the garage door to an angular and aggressive looking motorcycle. You turn your key to a cheesy greeting “Ready to Race”. You get onto the seat, kick the side stand up and engage first gear. A little […]
