I was in the market for a MIPS street helmet last year, and pickings were slim. Bell had a pair of models. Icon of all brands had one MIPS helmet. I went with the Icon for fit and price, knowing the stickers all meant the same protection. It feels as light as my GT-Air, too.

Clearly, things hadn’t been peachy between Viñales and Yamaha before the Styrian GP — or else the rider wouldn’t have announced an intention to part ways with the team a year before his contract was due to expire. But I don’t think anyone could’ve expected it’d play out quite like this.

I wonder the same. They already went through this drama with Iannone.

I mean, the risk and consequence was the same on the previous and subsequent run.  The only thing that changed was the colour of their underpants.

Well my ASS didn’t get the memo, it’s all about idle emissions.

All the hate breaks my heart. Everyone fawns over the H2 - that’s more than just a horsepower monster, and I want to believe this will be, too. The Hayabusa of old is no more! Also, that cluster is both classic and modern. It indicates degrees of lean (not that you’re looking at the cluster while knee deep in a…

But you’d have a lot less fun doing it.

As an obsessive motorcycle racing fan (and amateur participant), the MotoGP coverage is as welcome as cake on a birthday.

Marquez is fast(est). The Honda is a monster.

Tires, perhaps, but those are an every-bike problem.

To paraphrase Clarkson, it’s not speed that kills. It’s suddenly stopping, that’s what gets you.

Good news!

From my own experience, flying back to Toronto from Denver aboard Air Canada, there is another argument to be made - weight distribution.

It’s pretty much impossible to debate that Valentino Rossi is an unmatched talent when it comes to two-wheeled competition

I am feeling particularly pedantic this evening.

Cars have had blind spot detection with conventional mirrors for years now.

There are lot of things to consider when buying a new car, and even more so if buying used. I don’t suspect the average buyer ranks “are the locks electric?” high on the list of questions to ask.

He said he went out to his garage to start the car about 10 a.m. Aug. 31, then planned to walk back in the house and change clothes before taking it for a spin. He didn’t take his cellphone with him...
