Reflective gear can help you shine in a car’s headlights, but it’s not always as much use if you’re approaching a T junction. Enter the H-Band, from Moto Central. Using two AA batteries, it…

Posted
by
Reviewed by: Steve Rose for: 22,000 miles RRP: Jacket £630 / Trousers £495 I’ve worn the Street Guard jacket pretty much every single day for the last 18 months, so the actual mileage on that is probably much higher.

Lying flat on the tank of this retro-styled bike, throttle held at the stop and with the roar of 44 identical red machines around me, I can’t stop grinning, but despite this being a modern bike, it’s the sixties that put me here.
