Editorial
“How do young riders learn to become older riders? Answer: They learn from every ride, making an honest assessment of their riding ability and how they can improve. Advanced rider training also helps.”
It’s been a cold week, but that hasn’t deterred SAM members from riding out on their favourite routes. Many members have started touring. As the picture above shows, they are getting to some amazing places. Our Observers continue to provide advanced rider training. Dealing with the demand is becoming challenging. As we are working hard to get our trainee Observers qualified, we have had to delay the start for a few new Associates. Don’t worry! We are working hard to get back on track.
In the wider motorcycling community there has been a lot of activity. The International Classic Bike Show in Stafford was a great success. The Festival of Motorcycling at Mallory Park has been confirmed for the 16th and 17th August.
As Harley Davidson has its troubles, Indian have leapt into the void with two new machines. Both companies are hampered by EU and UK import tariffs. Voge have read the market well and produced a new adventure bike for less than £6,200. With dealers offering attractive financing packages we are likely to see more younger riders on the roads. Those younger riders are also looking to improve their ‘green’ credentials by looking at electric scooters and high-powered electric bicycles. There is a rumour that the latter and any conversion of non-electric cycles may be banned.
On a brighter note, there was a House of Commons debate on road maintenance and motorcyclist safety. Reading the Hansard transcript it was more about the pothole woes of local constituents and a Minister promoting the few millions provided to Local Authorities. At least the latter will have to publicise their plans for improving the highway infrastructure on their websites by June 2025. MAG (Motorcycle Action Group) campaigned hard for motorcyclists to challenge candidates in recent Mayoral elections. Given that most motorcyclists have a very low opinion of politicians their effects on local motorcycling policies may have been minimal.
IAM RoadSmart report a survey of 600 advanced riders problems with other road users. Riders highlighted driver deliberately obstructing filtering, throwing cigarette butts (usually lit), doors opening, driving out of junctions into the path of the rider, etc. The small survey missed spitting, emptying bottles of urine and soiled nappies into the rider’s path. You won’t find any of these hazards to riders in the press. Perhaps they should follow IAM RoadSmart’s lead, but use a wider population of riders who travel regularly. Such riding hazards might also be considered the DfT’s (Department for Transport) review of motorcycling. Getting a full licence might require the rider to show they can avoid a fully laden nappy! Just a thought?
To improve road safety, the Scottish Borders Council is running a 50mph speed limit trial on some roads. The MCIA (Motorcycle Industry Association) and other motorcycling advocate groups have continued discussing improving access and reforming licensing. In 2022, on average each week, there were 6 deaths and 108 serious injuries amongst motorcyclists (UK Transport Data, 2025). With this continuing toll of broken young lives, the discussions have dragged on long enough. It’s time for action!
The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride, supporting men’s health, is planned for the 18th May 2025. MotoGP has partnered with ‘Two Wheels for Life’. Give any support you can to these worthy charities. Finally, Bennetts’ BikeSocial have produce a FREE online magazine. Utilising their vast archive there is something for everyone to enjoy. Until next week, ride safe and happy reading.
PS: To all SAM members who are in poor health, we send our very sincere wishes for a better time this Summer. Stay in touch. We like grapes, chocolate and chatting about our favourite subject – motorcycles.
Your success is our success!
Advanced riders are safer road users, ride longer, rider further, meet more people and enjoy a healthier, happier life!

Nearly 30 years ago, the first Mission: Impossible film was released, sparking a line of sequels that gave Tom Cruise the opportunity to ride a lot of really cool motorcycles.
With the eighth and maybe final film in the series being released in 2025, now is the perfect time to take a look at the bikes that have helped Mission: Impossible become one of the most popular movie franchises ever. Read more…
The Status of UK Motorcycling – April 2025
It’s never been harder to get a clear picture of the health of motorcycling – whether in the UK or globally – than in the opening months of 2025.
With both new and used bike sales statistics skewed by a late glut of 2024 registrations both in the UK and across Europe it’s impossible to draw clear conclusions as to trends in the market, and everything – in motorcycling and beyond – is being overshadowed by global influences from the ongoing war in Ukraine to the baffling on-again-off-again saga of trade tariffs being applied by the Trump administration in the USA and the reactions and retaliations from other nations. It’s a combination of factors that means confusion reigns, whether you’re an international business aiming to sell hundreds of thousands of motorcycles around the globe or simply a punter looking for a decent deal on a used bike now the weather’s finally improving.

The fight for who controls Harley-Davidson continues, as H Partners Management—the investment firm that had a seat on the brand’s board of directors until their man resigned in protest because he wasn’t allowed to pick the company’s new CEO—has found another investor to join its campaign.
Indeed, Purple Chip Capital, which has about a 1% stake in Harley-Davidson, is joining H Partners Management in its attack against retiring CEO Jochen Zeitz, as well as board members Thomas Linebarger and Sara Levinson. Basically, they’re alleging corporate malfeasance in the form of the brand’s “misguided” Hardwire strategy, straying “from the core tenets” of the brand, and a “neglected” culture. Read more…
Rider Health & Safety
Do you ride a motorcycle or know someone who does? If so, you’ll know that riding a motorcycle has some risks. In fact, statistics show that motorcyclists are much more likely to be involved in a serious or fatal accident than car drivers. This is why it’s important to take steps to reduce the risks and the Biker I.C.E. Card is one of the most effective solutions available.
The Biker I.C.E. Card is a simple, yet vital tool. It contains your contact details and essential medical information. In the event of an accident, emergency services staff can quickly access this information to help them decide on the right treatment for you. By carrying a Biker I.C.E. Card, you can ensure that emergency services staff have the information they need to take account of any ongoing health problems you have and any current treatments that you are receiving. This can make their job easier and your emergency care safer. Read more...
MCN Law April round-up | ‘Since my accident someone has been cutting the hedges’
Each month, we take a look at the questions that were sent to the MCN Law column, which is written by Andrew Campbell from BikeLawyer.
In April, Andrew was asked about seeing a psychiatrist after an accident, who’s to blame for a rear impact, if a helmet coming off should affect your payout, claiming after a deer strike and the time limit for personal injury claims.Should I see a psychiatrist?
I had a bike accident 18 months ago. My GP has said that I have reached as good as a recovery from my physical injuries as could be expected, but my mental health has deteriorated. I have no history of problems with my mental health, but now I am frequently tearful, sad and depressed. Read more…
If there’s a piece of apparel most associated with motorcycling, it’s undoubtedly the leather motorcycle jacket. The leather jacket is part of our uniform, but even non-riders search the bins for cowhide when it’s time to dress up for Halloween, or down for any occasion that calls for cool. No matter what you ride, the best leather motorcycle jackets are versatile enough to look at home nearly anywhere, and on nearly anything. A premium leather jacket will never go out of style, and the more you wear a quality one, the more comfortable it will feel – there’s just something about leather that other materials can’t match. Bountiful and ubiquitous, with seemingly endless options to choose from, it would be impossible for us to feature every single jacket out there. So here we’ve gathered a small sampling of the best leather motorcycle jackets the market has to offer, listed in alphabetical order. Read more…
MotoAmerica, North America’s premier motorcycle road racing series, is proud to announce that it has become the first professional sports organization globally to use a groundbreaking blood test to help assess riders with suspected concussions on-site at all its events.The Abbott i-STAT TBI test cartridge used to evaluate patients 18 years of age and older who present with suspected mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), provides results in 15 minutes and may be used up to 24 hours after injury to help determine the need for a CT scan of the head.
In 2024, Abbott’s i-STAT TBI test cartridge received clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to be used with whole blood, allowing doctors to quickly assess patients with suspected concussions at the patient’s side, without sending the sample to a lab.
“As both a neurologist and licensed physician, I know firsthand the limitations of relying on a subjective tool like the Glasgow Coma Scale in the assessment of brain injury,” said Beth McQuiston, M.D., medical director in Abbott’s diagnostics business. “The ability to objectively assess the need for a head CT scan following potential brain injury right at the point of care, whether that be at a hospital bedside or an on-site medical facility at a sporting event, means quick assessment and a quick path to the right treatment.”
“This is the first ever objective test that physicians have had at the point-of-care to assist in the assessment of concussions – it changes the game,” said Carl Price, M.D., Chief Medical Officer for MotoAmerica. “If a crash or fall does happen, the ability to quickly and objectively determine whether or not a rider needs a CT scan or additional evaluation, right there on site, provides us – and our riders – with peace of mind.”
The i-STAT Alinity TBI test cartridge, run on the hand-held i-STAT Alinity analyzer will be available for use in on-site medical facilities for all MotoAmerica races across the U.S. during the 2025 season, beginning with round two at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta in Braselton, Georgia, May 2-4.
“The standard of competition and performance in MotoAmerica continues to increase,” said Chuck Aksland, chief operating officer, MotoAmerica. “Between the riders, the motorcycles, their gear, and now accessibility to the most innovative medical equipment, we continue to push our standards and practices to better protect our racers. Our use of Abbott’s rapid blood test for concussion assessment furthers this commitment and will help us evaluate medical needs quickly and on-site.”According to the National Institutes of Health, traumatic brain injury from accidents or sports is a leading cause of death and disability in the United States. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates 2.5 million people visit the emergency department for TBIs every year. Read more…
The Alpinestars Tech-Air 5 Plasma ($789.95) represents a significant advancement in motorcycle rider safety, building upon over two decades of research and development in airbag technology. Initiated in 2001, Alpinestars’ commitment to enhancing rider protection has culminated in this state-of-the-art airbag system, designed to make motorcycle riding safer.The Tech-Air 5 Plasma features a complete redesign of its outer chassis, focusing on rider comfort and mobility. Constructed entirely from stretch materials, including a single-layer stretch mesh in non-airbag areas, this zip-up-style vest offers vastly improved flexibility and breathability. The system is approximately 25% lighter than its Tech-Air 5 predecessor, weighing 3.7 pounds in size large. The vest fits true to size. Additional sizes are available in XS to 4XL. Read more…
Petition to Force all Bikers to Wear Protective Clothing Opened
The sister of a rider who was seriously injured in a crash is calling for laws to be drawn up to make it mandatory for protective clothing to be worn when riding a motorcycle
Kimberley Thompson, 23, has begun a petition to ask the UK government to look into making it mandatory for bikers to wear protective clothing while riding their bikes.
The petition has come about after Thompson’s brother, Harry Pyett, 19, skidded on gravel while riding along the B1078 in Hemingstone on Easter Monday. The crash caused Pyett, who, according to the BBC, was wearing ‘non-protective cargo trousers and trainers’, to suffer a badly broken femur and collarbone. Read more…
Adventure & Touring
I recently came across an author who’s been somewhat off the radar a decade or so, Werner Bausenhart. Curiously his works have also been absent from anything but direct Google searches, even though he’s written four good books on international adventure motorcycling.
Book reviews are almost impossible to find, too. It’s actually a pity that the publisher seems to have done next to nothing to promote these books, let alone make them available only any of the prevalent eBook formats. If it wasn’t for the recommendation of a friend and fan of the author, it might have been another decade before I discovered 8 Around the Americas on a Motorcycle, and dug in.
Bausenhart happens to be a German philology professor, a world traveler who took up motorcycling the world after retirement. Given that, one of the pleasantly surprising aspects of the book is his informative, youthful and energetic storytelling style.
8 Around the Americas is the detailed riding account of Bausenhart’s ambitious figure eight-shaped route of the North and South America segment of his world journey—including the extreme northerly and southerly “end of the road” destinations of these continents—back in 1997. Every author who tackles similar topics has his/her own approach. In this author’s case, it’s very much a solo journey, but written in a humorous and informative manner loaded with useful information intended to educate readers as well as aid riders who follow. Particularly for the Central and South America regions. Read more…
“You sure you don’t want a Honda?” Kevin asked as we looked at the well worn green Russian-made Minsk motorcycle that his mechanic had just delivered. Being both stubborn and lacking much in the way of common sense I said, “No, ‘Lucy’ just needs a paint job, some racks and tools in case she breaks down.”
I came to Southeast Asia to meet people and explore. For the last several years, I’ve been working on a project called “The Bunny Teeth Movement.” The idea came about from a visit to Japan, where my friend, Manami, suggested that I travel the world handing out bunny teeth. She explained that the world is too serious, and that bunny teeth could lighten the mood, one smile at a time.
I’m not suggesting that bunny teeth are the be-all/end-all for world peace, but a smile is a positive in a world full of negatives.
I’d been in Saigon, Vietnam for two days, and was excited to both explore and hand out bunny teeth. Lucy had just been freshly painted, luggage racks were welded on, and the bike was now equipped with all the tools I might need. In hindsight, though, more spare parts would have been a good idea.

‘Long Way Home’ follows Ewan and Charley as they ride refurbished vintage motorbikes from Ewan’s home in Scotland to Charley’s in England — but rather than take the shortest route, they go the long way! They head across the North Sea to Scandinavia, all the way up to the Arctic Circle and then down to the Baltics and through continental Europe, before eventually hopping back over the English Channel two months later. It’s an adventure that will take them to more than fifteen countries, through spectacular scenery and along some of the greatest driving roads in the world. Along the way they’ll immerse themselves in each country’s culture, meet the locals and try their hand at unique and eclectic activities. Read more…

WKND Special: A Yamaha XT600 street tracker from Porto
Every custom motorcycle builder has a horror story (or many) about having to fix someone else’s mistakes. Sergio Almeida is no exception. When he got his hands on this Yamaha XT600, it was a far cry from the slick street tracker you’re looking at here. “The bike was already far from stock,” says Sergio, who…Read more »

Is the high performance electric motorcycle a dream?
[Based on an item in yesterday’s Elevenses live webcast]
I’ve been following stories on electric motorcycles with interest for quite a few years. I’ve even ridden a couple. But I’ve long come to the conclusion that the 200-200-200 kph / km range / kerbside weight in kgs design goal is simply out of reach, at least with current technology.
It’s easy enough to get an electric motorcycle to hit 200 kph (120 mph) and weigh 200 kg, but you won’t get 200 km of range. Go for the range, and the top speed will be very much less than 120 mph. Read more…
When others make mistakes
I’ve offered a kind of ‘Doctor’s Surgery’ for riders with problems for many years, and some years back I got a link to an on-bike video asking me “what would you do in this situation?”
So I took a look. Unfortunately, the video has long since vanished, but here’s what happened. The incident happened on a motorway, approaching a junction in moderately heavy, but flowing, traffic. Read more…
“The only way to do great work…”
“…is to love what you do.” That’s attributed to Steve Jobs, though I’m sure many people have said something similar. And certainly motorcycle riders frequently report how much they enjoy the sense of freedom when they take to the open road.
There’s actually some solid research-based evidence that enjoyment of riding reduces stress hormones, suggesting a unique blend of arousal and relaxation. Research found that twenty minutes of riding boosts heart rate by 11% and adrenaline by 27%, like light exercise, but uniquely pairs these changes with improved sensory focus when compared to car driving.

Knowledge, expectations and unknowables Pt 2
Last week we looked at the interplay between what we already know, our expectations based on that knowledge, and the realm of unknowables and how that creates a dynamic framework that guides, yet also limits, our decision-making.
In Part One I talked about a very straightforward example – approaching a traffic signal. But this forward projection happens on a surprising number of levels; at the other end of the spectrum, how do knowledge, expectations and unknowables come into play on a very different scale when we’re planning a trip?

South Yorkshire Safer Roads Partnership
Do you like to help others?
As part of the hierarchy of road users, introduced in 2022, those that can cause greater harm on our roads have more responsibility to reduce the risk that they may pose to others.
Think about how vulnerable you are & what you can do to stay safe or help others to stay safe.
Remember, we’re all human and we all make mistakes. We’re also very fragile when it comes to what forces of impact we can survive.
Thank you for helping us to make our roads safer.

Online response:
“Chris Bellamacina
You cannot put all the blame on cars and wagons, all those who use the roads have a responsibility, you cannot just walk out into the road and expect a car or a wagon to stop, pedestrians need to use the green Cross code, stop look listen. That way the roads will be safe. Pedestrians think that they have a right to do as they think and when it goes wrong it’s someone else’s fault.”“Howard Cox
Chris Bellamacina What part of “greatest responsibility” makes you think that this is saying drivers should have ALL the responsibility ???”“Chris Bellamacina really… because the openly punished figures are miniscule relative to total road deaths…
32 deaths involving police vehicles.”“Recon Sheffield
Still waiting for you to do speed checks on Gleadless Rd many cars speed there and I am disabled”
Every death and serious injury on the road is a preventable tragedy. Yet, on average, five people die every day on the road in the UK and 82 are seriously injured (10-year average from 2013-2022). This has to change. Help us by sticking to the rules of the road. Brake, the road safety charity

SOME LIGHT AT THE END OF THE POTHOLE
POTHOLE PARTNERSHIP REVEALS IMPROVING PICTURE ON NATIONAL POTHOLE DAY
- The AA attended 643,318 pothole related incidents in 2024, down compared to previous year
- Partnership urges councils to make permanent repairs a priority over temporary fixes
- Drop in pothole incidents coincides with rise in repair costs
- Pothole damage costs drivers whopping £579m
The Pothole Partnership is calling for more permanent repairs and greater use of innovation and technology on National Pothole Day (15 January) to reduce vehicle damage and injuries to cyclists and motorcycle riders. Read more…
FEMA
For several years, the FFMC – a member of FEMA – has been sharing its expertise in training and protective equipment at the French and European levels. This in-depth work has generated interest in road safety in France, as well as among Korean authorities, eager to improve motorcyclist safety in their country.
Isabelle Lebret (FFMC) and Mr Jae Hong, Joo, KOTSA Principal Researcher.
At the FFMC headquarters in Montreuil, a unique partnership was signed between the French motorcyclists’ organisation FFMC and the South-Korean Transportation Safety Authority (KOTSA). This memorandum of understanding marks a milestone in international cooperation for the prevention of powered two-wheeler risks. Read more…
According to Wim Taal, FEMA’s General Secretary, it’s time to rethink infrastructure.
Motorcyclists are among the most vulnerable road users and yet road infrastructure across Europe and beyond is often designed with cars in mind. While protective gear and riding skills play a role in rider safety, there’s a critical element that often gets overlooked: the roads themselves.
If we are serious about reducing motorcycle accidents and fatalities, we need to stop treating riders as an afterthought in infrastructure planning. Instead, let’s prioritize them with smart, safety-driven changes. Here’s how we can start:
Fix the surface, save lives
It might sound basic, but smooth, well-maintained roads are a lifeline for riders. A pothole that causes a jolt in a car can easily throw a motorcyclist off their bike. Cracks, loose gravel, and uneven surfaces are more than annoyances, they are hazards. Routine inspections should specifically look for motorcycle dangers, and repairs should use rider-friendly materials. That means avoiding slippery tar patches and ensuring surfaces aren’t just patched, but properly levelled. …
British Motorcyclists Federation
Paul Varnsverry, the highly respected motorcycling clothing expert, is launching a campaign aimed at eliminating uncertified and potentially unsafe bike kit, currently being imported into the UK and offered for sale online. Varnsverry, Technical Director of clothing consultant at PVA-PPE, is started a petition aimed at alerting Government to the dangers of untested kit. In conversation with MCN, he praised the efforts of Trading Standards in the last three years, in checking bike shows and high street shops for sub-standard kit. But he added that clothing offered online is attempting to circumvent these checks. Read more… 
Bikers spent £47,000 on MOT retests in the 2023/24 financial year, according to research by insurance company Go.Compare. Why is this remarkable? Well, it turns out that many retests after failures were for relatively minor problems, such as headlights, indicators, brake lights, reflectors and tyres. In fact, lights accounted for the lion’s share of more than 15,000 MOT failures, accounting for 11,440 – tyres caused 2500 failures and vehicle identification another 1114.
To arrive at the £47,000 figure, Go.Compare combined survey data with official DVSA testing figures to estimate how much was being spent on retests for fairly minor faults. Whatever the exact cause, it’s clear that a simple check of lights and tyres before heading off for the MOT could save us all time and hassle. Read more…
Motorcycle Action Group (MAG)
While celebrating 20,000, MAG is redoubling efforts to win a further 80,000 signatures on the petition calling for default motorcycle access in bus lanes. The goal is to achieve 100,000 signatures, which should trigger a Parliamentary debate. MAG believe this is critical to achieving its aim to finally secure consistent access across the whole country.
MAG has also been asking members to get their local MPs involved in putting pressure on the Department for Transport (DfT) to deliver the things it promised in the 2024 consultation outcome. Most importantly the outcome stated that the Department would update bus lane guidance to recommend consistency across local authority borders, and work with Transport for London (TfL) and Metro Mayors – again to achieve consistent policy.
