Oxford Chain Brush review
Posted
by
Tested by: John Milbank RRP: £9.99 More info: www.oxprod.com Motorcycle chains need love – ignore them and they’ll soon look awful, become less efficient, and potentially dangerous.

Posted
by
There comes a time when you just know that you have to bite the bullet and buy a new set of tyres; the rear on my FZ6 S2 Fazer had more square edges than round and the front just looked out of shape. My wallet involuntarily squeezed itself shut and completely ignored the 8,000…
