  Review: Weise Air Spin motorcycle jacket (productReview)
  Material quality is our biggest concern with the Weise Air Spin, which is a real shame considering we actually liked wearing the jacket. As you can see in the attached photos, the 'Air Spin' lettering on the front of the jacket is already peeling significantly after eight or so uses. This is especially concerning because our commute to work is 15 minutes each way - meaning the jacket has had about two hours of total wearing time.

  Review: Micro Suspension Scooter (productReview)
  That's right, you too could be one of those 'cool' (i.e embarrassing) parents scooting with your kids to school in the morning and then bashing your shins as you attempt to get it in the front door. This is Micro's top of the range adult scooter, hence the £220 price tag, but it does come with built-in suspension, 200mm wheels, soft handle grips and a kick stand. Plus it can be easily folded down.

  Top 10: Greatest driving games (Article)
  Gran Turismo (1997)  Most people remember the first time they played the original Gran Turismo on PlayStation. Nothing at the time came close to GT’s quest for realism. There's the painstaking detail of its car models and the tangible handling differences between them, plus the iconic track layouts and engine noise. Along with the tyre squeal and that soundtrack. The box even came with a reference manual that explained exactly how rear-wheel drive and front-wheel drive cars handle differently.
• GARAGE SERVICING: How can I find a reputable garage  to service or repair my car? (FAQs)
  But whatever you do when applying this blag, make sure the car has no genuine major fault which would lead it to fail the test. Punters will almost always be so relieved that their car has got through its MOT, they won't mind paying for £50 to £100 worth of repairs to get it through the test.

  Review: Wahoo Kickr Core Zwift One (productReview)
  Mountain bikes are just as happy on the Kickr Core Zwift One, and while bikes with wheels smaller than 700C road wheels will fit, you might need to use a riser on the front wheel to avoid feeling like you're constantly descending. To make sure the bike doesn't sound like a bag of nails when you start riding, Zwift recommends moving the chain onto the small ring on the front derailleur and a middle gear on the rear to set the chain up in a nice straight line.

  Top 10: Scramblers 2023 (Article)
  Plush suspension copes with bumps well, demonstrating the company’s track record in racing and superbike, while upside down front forks are a welcome nod to modernity. It all makes the Benelli huge value for money and great to ride. Mutt Hilts 125 - £3495 If you ride along with an image of Steve McQueen jumping barbed wire fences in your mind, then the Mutt Hilts 125 is the bike for you.

  Review: AGV K-3 SV helmet (productReview)
  The helmet is comfortable, with a soft lining that beds in with time and it's not terribly heavy. You get front air intakes along with rear exhausts, a non-scratch, anti-mist, polycarbonate visor (optical class 1) with Pinlock insert and - as already stated - an internal sun visor. The sun visor opens using a lever behind the left-hand side visor pivot.
• Review: Honda NSC 50 E Vision (productReview)
  Fold-down foot pegs are fitted so passengers feel secure on the bike. Honda provides linked CBS brakes as standard on the Vision 50. It means both front disc and rear drum are applied when the rider pulls on the lever. In most conditions, you won’t notice this, but on slithery wet roads it gives an added bite to the Honda’s stopping power. You can also use just the rear brake to temper speed when filtering and the rear view mirrors don’t impede progress through closely packed lines of cars, vans and buses.

  Review: Z-Edge Z3 Plus dashcam (productReview)
  Straight out of the box, this doesn't feel like a camera that retails at £200, despite the diamond pattern design on the front. But things do get better. While those buttons don't feel especially nice, the fact there are proper buttons makes the Z3 Plus easy to use on the move. Much more so than rivals which utilise a touchscreen design and can be quite unresponsive.

  Top 10: Portable BBQs for motorhomes, picnics and camping (Article)
  As a result, it’s pretty hefty and isn’t recommended if need a BBQ and you’re planning to walk a long distance. But, if it’s a quick stroll from the car to the beach, this is perfect.

Standard equipment on the Sprinter included Mercedes-Benz’s Crosswind Assist, a system within the ESP (electronic stability program) setting that helps prevent the Sprinter from being blown about in crosswinds.

He was asked to accept a bankers draft from a third party in the UK for £14,300, £4300 more than the asking price, on the understanding that once this cleared his account he would forward the difference by way of ‘money transfer' to a shipping agent.

  Review: Karcher LMO 18-33 cordless mower (productReview)
  While Karcher quotes 24 minutes of charge, we found we were getting longer than that in real-world tests, allowing use to easily cut both the front and back lawns the charge to spare.    Once finished, the handle can be folded in on itself - you'll just need to slacken off the wing nuts enough to do this. With the grass box resting on top, the Karcher LMO 18-33 folds away nice and neatly.

  Top 10: Winter tyres (Article)
  The tread pattern of the AllSeasonContact has fewer sipes than most rivals, but it offers a great amount of traction - even in snow - and strong front end grip.  The Continental do well in wet and dry conditions too with reliable, reactive braking and the tyres are also very quiet and refined even at high speeds. A reduction in rolling resistance ( the energy lost when a tyre is moving) also means the AllSeasonContact are very fuel efficient.

  Review: Yamaha YS125 (productReview)
  For commuters, that’s likely to be an extra day between visits to the filling station, which always feels like a win. Other new bits for the YS include a headlight that’s integrated into the front fairing. Together, they offer some modest protection from the elements, but if you plan on using this Yamaha for longer, faster rides or all-year round the optional screen would be a wise investment.
