Whats better, Jeep or fullsize?
WHEELERS LOVE TO DEBATE ABOUT what works and what doesnt. Verbal punches thrown around a campfire or work bench often revolve around topics like lockers and tires as well as which vehicle brand is the King of the Hill. But another topic that really fires people up is Jeep versus fullsize.

To put it mildly, Ducati caused a minor shitstorm with the launch of the Pierre Terblance – designed 999. The 916 and, in turn, the 996 and 998 instigated Ducatis prominent rise to the big time, but no amount of WSB success could absorb the hate in 2003. What, no single – sided swingarm?

15 World titles, 122 GP wins, 159 podium finishes and 10 TT victories. One word – Legend.

Despite the puny price tag, youre still getting big bang for your buck with this entry – level exotica. Hidden in the shadows of the egotistical Ducati, its WSB arch nemesis, there are still blue
There are few things more divisive than a Harley – Davidson. Marmite doesnt even come close to mirroring the disparities between love and hate the iconic H – D badge can inspire. Were not particularly in the lovers camp here at FB, but there are a few bikes from the iron – pedlers that we do like.
This is one of them, the 2012 Fat Boy Special. OK, so it defines new lows in ground clearance, with even T – junctions
Hi everyone, can you possibly guess where Im writing to you from this month? The airport, of course! It seems like this is the only time I ever get to sit down these days and, now being a world champion, I suddenly have a lot more that people want me to do when all I want is to try and prepare for my debut season in WSB! Still, comes with the territory I guess, and it was nice to meet so many of you at the NEC – you humbled me with your praise, thank you.
