The very best of Secrets of a Road Tester - episode 6

This year we’re celebrating the very best of our Secrets of a Road Tester series, which has been produced in partnership with Bikertek.

The idea is to help you have a safe and exciting experience on your bike, and as such, our very own Michael Neeves offers tips and tricks earned from his years of road-testing experience.

He’s ridden more bikes than most of us have had hot dinners, and furthermore he’s an accomplished instructor, so who better to lead the discussion on staying safe on the road?

This week, we’re looking at cornering again, but this time, it’s the details – the subtle tips – that really help you get that bike down the road as efficiently as possible.
