Back in 2018, London-based startup Relish Technologies launched its Beeline Moto smart navigation device. It was a game changer for motorcyclists looking for a universally mountable, no-fuss navigation system that had minimal impact on their riding experience or the look of their bike. Now, seven years on, Relish has released the Beeline Moto 2, and I recently got our hands on one to see what’s changed. The Beeline Moto 2 hit shelves earlier this year after a very successful Kickstarter campaign.

High-quality custom motorcycles don’t come cheap. Inevitably there are instances where customers leave builders with an unpaid bill and an incomplete motorcycle. This heavily modified ’93 Ducati Monster 900 is a prime example. It’s the work of Spanish builder XTR Pepo and thanks to an unpaid bill the 95% complete project has come to an unsavory stand still .

The Facts
A case in 2019 examined the question of whether a race club had
provided one of its casual employees with a safe system of
work.
Because of the big crowd of racegoers, and copious supplies of
food and drink (which could be brought in or purchased), more than
a hundred 240-litre wheelie bins were placed at various locations
around the racecourse.
The bins had soft plastic bin liners placed in them and were
positioned in groups at various locations.

I have good news and bad news. The bad news is that motorcycle theft in the United States (and almost every other country worldwide) is rising. Since 2019 there’s been a staggering 29% increase in the number of motorcycles stolen in the USA with the total number currently sitting at around 55,000 per annum. These will surely be unsettling statistics for any motorcycle owner and an unignorable incentive to invest in a security device.

Triumph Motorcycles has been a pioneer of the modern classic segment for decades. Their motorcycles are styled after iconic models from the brand’s storied past and feature the latest in modern technology and engineering. Since the move to water-cooled engines back in 2016, Triumph has been steadily expanding its modern classic range and recently, in a bid to appeal to an even broader customer base, they went small.
