The figures from the MCI now speak for themselves: 26,000 motorcycles going missing every year in the UK, most of these are less than 3 years old and, most scary for us Londoners, 35 of these every day (or nearly 50% of the total UK theft) is taken from our streets, which is a higher number than new vehicles sold on most days.

Forcefield Body Armour first came about in 2003 and they reach deep into the Skiing, Snowboarding and Mountain Biking markets. What makes Forcefield different? In a word – reusability.

We continue our blog from Paul Wheatley, LB's tame novice racer as he competes in the Bemsee Minitwin class for the first year. Last instalment saw Paul pick up some trophies so would his home track produce more success? He certainly expected so, which always sounded like a recipe for disaster.

LB Member Paul Wheatley aka PoutyWombat has started racing in the Bemsee MiniTwin class this year. Over the year he will be blogging him progress in the hope of perhaps inspiring fellow wannabe racers to take up a day-glo vest, or at least amuse us armchair racers with his tales of daring-do.

One of the few things I like about Winter is being able to pull on really thick and warming clothing; to wrap up all snug and be protected from the elements. Sadly my increasingly aged Hein Gericke Tricky III suit was becoming too old in the tooth to keep even the faintest tendrils of winter at bay – it was never the same after washing it frankly, a mistake I won’t make with this new suit.

LB's DanielGT booked himself on to the ERS from the DSA and met Geoff from Meridian Training who took Daniel for a ride, assessed him and delivered good news! A sterling chap and one who is emminently qualified for the job.

Fed up with thick clumsy insubstantial winter gloves? Try the Knox Zero with Outdry - it is far more a thick insulated summer glove and less like an oven glove than the normal cold weather hand protection.

The Tourist Trophy, like all race meetings, isn’t just about the riders and the glamour because without volunteers like the Marshals it wouldn’t happen. To give us a taste of what being a Race Marshal is all about we have member Mian’s (Me_Groovy) account of his stint in orange overalls last year.

Laid out in front of me I have 3 fantastic ways to pass the time: The hot off the press TT-3D film, Duke Video’s annual TT review DVD, this one of the 2011 event, and for those who prefer to actually be able to see the scenery as it passes, Overland magazine.
