How To Protect Motorcycle Chrome

Keeping the shiny bits shiny There is sound logic behind popping a bottle of your favorite suds, saddling up next to your bike after a Sunday ride, and going over every shiny bit of chrome with a soft cloth to ensure its gleaming.

BSB 2012; Mystic Mac investigates

With a ban on electronics for 2012, and in particular traction control, WFR's Graham Gowland has already proved to Laverty how competitive an EVO spec Fireblade can be - so I’m tipping both these riders to be bang on the money at the Brands Hatch season opener in April.

The win was Laverty’s third in a row, including the final two races of the 2013 season when he raced for Aprilia.
