An 87-page Austroads report outlining the framework for planning road networks totally neglects motorcycle riders. The “Level of Service Metrics (for Network Operations)” report is designed to take in “the perspectives of different road users”.

Always get the best weather gear you can and the best I’ve ever used is the Harley-Davidson men’s Roadway rainsuit. I first tested it at the Harley Street 500 launch in the pouring rain in Sydney, then again on several occasions in New Zealand and also in torrential Queensland summer...

If you think electric motorcycles won’t become mainstream in your lifetime, think again. One of the biggest hurdles to electric vehicles has been so-called “range anxiety” where motorists are concerned about the battery running flat.
