We'll start doing a weekly article, published on Friday, on what's been happening on the internet in the motorcycle world (apart from this site). We'll place a headline, description, small photo (if any) and a short description, plus obviously a link to the full article somewhere on the world wide web.

These are stories we find of interest, so no need emailing us with your site's story. We're using a RSS feedreader and our own homegrown news robot. Headlines are as is, including any spelling errors.

Hope you like it. Let me know what you think, and if I should continue... use the rating system or comments to let me know.
