Competitions
Oxford tank bag
CLOSING DATE: Friday, 27th August 2010
Part of the superb Oxford Products luggage range, the X1 expanding tank bag from the First Time luggage series is ideal for classic and modern motorcycles because it's a combined strap on-magnetic bag of some 38 litre capacity but it's not over large or cumbersome.
Oxford barrier
CLOSING DATE: Friday, 27th August 2010
You can't go far wrong with anything from the Oxford Products range and one look at the Barrier chain-lock is enough to deter all but the most ardent thieves. The Barrier comes in two lengths, 1500mm (5ft) and 1800mm (6ft). The chain links are 10mm square and heat treated against attack. The chain is cloth covered and the lock is pick resistant with a dust cover for the key slot and there are two keys. Price is around the £42.99 mark, but it pays to shop around. See www.oxprod.com
Box scope
CLOSING DATE: Friday, 27th August 2010
Box Helmets, the in-house helmet range at Oxford Products, for a budget helmet are quite superb. We have one of their range-leading BX1 Scope full face helmets to give away, it's an XL (size 62) so if you've got a fair sized swede, then this is for you.

Accidental rarity
27 May 2010
Motorcycles can be fairly big projects, but there again not as big as cars, or lorries, or locomotives and certainly never as costly as houses – but it was one such housing project which led all the way back to one of Triumph’s rarest lightweights. Nigel C. explains.
