Review: Decathlon Arpenaz 4.1 Fresh & Black (productReview)
Once this has been done you need to hammer in a couple of pegs at the rear corners of the tent before you raise the frame of the tent. You then need to drive two more pegs in at the front before unravelling the guide ropes and driving anchoring these down with more pegs. With the tent set up we could make it a little more homely.

Review: Piaggio MP3 300ie Yourban 2016 (productReview)
If you don’t want the expense and hassle of taking your motorcycle test also don’t want to be restricted to a 125cc bike with L plates, don’t worry – there’s a loophole just for you. If you passed your car driving test before 19 January 2013 then, provided you’re over 21, you can ride a ‘trike’ like the Piaggio MP3 Yourban 300 LT. It’s not a trike in the traditional sense though, because it leans over in bends just like a scooter.

It's also easy to remove the unit from its magnetic mount and use it as a stills camera, for example if you need take pictures of damage. Not only does the camera record driving, it also watches the road ahead and tells the driver when they are driving too close to the car in front. It also has lane departure warning alerts that work just as well as the systems built in to modern cars by manufacturers.

Review: Honda X-ADV (productReview)
What you will also notice is the X-ADV has a chain drive like a standard motorcycle’s, so you get some engine braking when you ease off the throttle. Powering all of this is a 745cc parallel twin engine borrowed from the NC model. That’s a good thing in our book as it’s a solid, smoother performer that gets on with the job whatever’s asked of it.
Review: Moto Guzzi V7 II 2016 (productReview)
Fire it up and it rocks gently from side to side when revved - it feels more alive than many bikes even when sitting still. The layout calls for a shaft final drive instead of a chain. It’s unlikely to make much difference to most riders, but it does have the benefit of easy maintenance – there’s nothing to adjust or lubricate with a shaft drive. Aside from that, the V7 is pretty conventional – the controls and riding experience are very easy to get to grips with.

How to buy a classic car (Article)
For some, it’s driven by nostalgia – the desire to own a car that reminds you of simpler, happier, times; or that your dad used to own. For others, it’s the need to get closer to a ‘pure’ driving experience, away from the steering and/or drive by wire of modern cars. Some even want to go the whole nine yards and experience driving on a race circuit without over-bearing traction control and the anti-lock brakes of modern cars. Just man, and machine.
Review: Viofo A129 Duo (productReview)
However, despite the set-up being fairly simple, the wires protruding from the right side ports made the front camera difficult to place without it blocking part of the windscreen. It would make sense to have this set up in a left-hand drive car, however, if we were to place the dash cam on the right-hand side of our car so the wires could be clipped into the interior trim lining, it would distract us when we drive. Alternatives we would consider include the Z-Edge T4 Dual or the Z-Edge Z3D - which is a GPS-enabled dual dash camera which we haven't yet tested.
