I've been doing a lot of reading lately, mainly two books. The first is The Fast Stuff by Mat Oxley, which is an excellent collection of articles and interviews from the GP paddock. I haven't quite finished it, but to be honest, it's so good that I don't want it to end too quickly. The second, which was bought as a present by Sarah, is Bonjour! Is the Italy? by Kevin Turner. This is a very short book, and covers one man month long journey to Italy and back after being made redundant. All in all its pretty good and its length is actually a positive, rather than a negative quality. A better more detailed review is up in the Motorcycle Media section. If your out on the bike this long Easter weekend, enjoy it, stay safe and savour every moment. This is what you work for.
Happy Easter to one and all. In typical fashion, today being Good Friday, I had to work. The only real saving grace was that I got to start a bit later and the roads on the way home were a bit quieter. As a result I took different way home, which although along much bigger roads, is normally significantly slower that my usual route. To be honest, even though it was in the City, it was a pretty decent ride, especially when I was joined by two chaps, one on a Monster and the other on a Moto Guzzi. When stopping at a junction, I looked down between the forks and noticed this flapping about. It's the brake line clamp with sits around the right fork leg, but the nut and bolt holding it together have gone AWOL. Bit of a pain, but easily fixed.

MeMy name is Matt Brown and I'm a UK journalist formerly based in London, but now calling the South of England home. I've been riding bikes since 2007, but got hooked straight away. Nothing gives me the feeling of freedom, even when stuck in a city. In 2010 I became a RoSPA gold rider, but when it comes down to it, I'm Just a normal man, riding his bikes as often as he can.
