Good news, bad news

The good news...

KAMG 40 year Anniversary T-Shirts are available to order once more - now also with a long sleeved option! Fabulous quality, embroidered badge, breathable, moisture-wicking fabric - and great value! Cost dependent on order quantities, but likely to be similar to before - short sleeved around £10, long sleeved TBC.

The ONLY way to buy these shirts is by contacting John Gardiner directly by email at sujon.mg@virgin.net

...the bad news

National Lockdown II rolls out nationwide on Thursday 5th November. Precise details haven't been finalised in Parliament, but IAM has today suspended all road-training activities from the 5th. In the meantime, Bennetts BikeSocial has published its view on individuals riding here.

'Allo, 'allo, 'allo

'Training should challenge you, make you think about what you're doing and sharpen your skills'. YouTuber Back2TheBike discusses the importance of ongoing training and talks to Northants Police about the bikes they use and the kit they carry. Click here for more

All change

The CE safety marking scheme will no apply to UK protective motorcycle clothing when we leave the EU next year. So what's taking its place? Here's the latest information from the British Motorcycle Federation.

Keep it shiny side up

It's Autumn again and mud, dead leaves and mashed horse chestnuts are much in evidence on our roads - certainly a good time to give your tyres a good once-over. MCN have a series of tyre reviews to help find the optimum solution for your bike, style of riding and budget.

What's in the news?

The Missenden Flyer takes a look through the last month's editions of MCN and flags up the main stories here. Among others, stories include: a new Triumph Trident; BMW adaptive headlights; online tuning and Norton reborn. A good watch over a cup of tea and a Hobnob.

KAMG Hi-viz jackets

KAMG-badged hi-viz jackets are available in all sizes. With reflective strips, large side pockets as well as a clear breast pocket and phone and pen pockets, they are wonderful value at only £12.00, subsidised by KAMG. Click here to contact John England to order.
