Ramp looks good. Bike seems quick. What could go wrong?

Sobering statistics from the RAC Foundation for UK road casualties. Not particularly surprising to see teenage boys are the most likely to be injured on UK roads. Do you ride your scooter around with no gloves and your helmet undone? Not cool. You'll only have yourself to blame.

Get the statistics here.

Sadly, our shop was burgled recently and some children's moto-x bikes stolen. If you are offered a new Suzuki JR80 kid's moto-x bike or any Rivara JR model (Granby Motors is the only place we know of in the entire UK that sells these bikes), please contact us to check before you purchase - it is likely to be stolen.

The models concerned are on our website here and here.

Not really funny at all but amazing nonetheless. NEVER copy this.

Can't admire the guy's reckless disregard for his safety and that of his fellow road users but he's definitely got skill.

The Department for Transport have just released a document containing some interesting statistics about motorcycles in the UK.

Doing 190.6 mph is amazing under any circumstances. It is even more so when it’s done on an electric motorcycle.
