Heading out for a ride is our favourite way to spend some time on a sunny day. However, as we all know, it’s not always possible because of the weather, especially if you live somewhere like the United Kingdom. Therefore, if you can’t get out for a ride, you need something else to keep you occupied, and we have some exciting games to play until the sun comes out again. 

Harley-Davidson Slot

Everyone, especially those who own a motorbike, will be aware of the Harley-Davidson name. Therefore, it’s the ideal combination to when you bring motorbikes, gaming and the potential to win into the mix. If you can’t get out for a ride, is there anything to better than playing a slot which stars motorbikes? The Harley-Davidson branded game is made by IGT and features stunning visuals. There are four games in one, so punters will have access to a lot of content all in the one place, with each coming with its individual qualities, gameplay and effects.

Fall Guys

This game might seem like an odd choice for this list at first, but Fall Guys is the video game of the moment right now, and bang on-trend. Try it out and you will see what we mean by this. The title, which is available to play on PC and PlayStation 4, has quickly become the must-play video game of 2020, with its simplicity very much the key to its success and continued growth in popularity. If you can’t get out on your bike, Fall Guys is the perfect pick up and play title, with gamers tasked with making their way through epic rounds which feature obstacle courses and challenges to be the last one standing.

F1 2020

It may not be a game starring motorbikes, but F1 2020 is one of the most popular driving games around right now. In recent years, Formula One has grown in popularity, thanks to the likes of Lewis Hamilton coming onto the scene. And, in Codemasters F1 2020, players can hit the track as their favourite driver. It’s the first time in a Formula One game where gamers can build their own team, which means creating a driver, signing a deal with a sponsor and so on. It takes players closer to the action than ever before, as they embark on an authentic career in Formula One.

Call of Duty: Mobile

If you have never heard of the Call of Duty game series, you must have been living under a rock for a long time. It’s one of the most successful game franchises of all time, and Call of Duty: Mobile is the top port Activision has ever come up with. We live in a world where mobile gaming is rapidly growing in popularity, and when content looks and plays as well as COD: Mobile, you can see why. Call of Duty is known for its success as a first-person shooter, but the 100-player battle royale mode is excellent as well.

Buying a motorcycle is great, but after you have spent a few hundred hours gazing at it lovingly, you might start to feel like you want to put your own stamp on it. You might want to alter the way it looks, the way it rides, or both, but very few people have an unlimited budget which allows them to make all the changes they want to. A lot of the most popular modifications come with a hefty price tag and it is likely you have already spent most of your money on the bike itself.

If this sounds familiar, here are 7 ways to mod your bike when you are on budget.

1. Take out a loan

The first way around a small budget is to take out a small loan which will enable you to make the mods you want to without having to compromise or save up for a long time. It is important to ensure you can make all the repayments, but you may be adding value to the bike itself through the improvements.

2. Add a new exhaust

A new exhaust is a great way to turn heads thanks to the incredible noise it can create as you tear down the street. It can also improve safety as you will alert other road users to your presence way before you pass them.

3. Install flush mount lights

A flush mounted set of lights makes a bike sleeker in appearance as they do not stick out. Obviously, they do not improve a bike’s performance, but they make a big difference to the bike’s appearance.

4. Upgrade the tyres

The tires which come with a stock car tend not to be the best, and they may need replacing sooner rather than later. A new set of tyres will be more attractive, but the main benefit is the improved handling and grip they deliver.

5. Customize the windscreen

The windscreen on stock motorbikes tends to be less than ideal. By investing in a customized windscreen, you can improve the look of the bike and the driving experience, and the best part is that it is not an expensive modification as many will cost less than £50.

6. Improve the brake pads

When trying to improve a bike’s speed, most people will not give much thought to the brakes. However, the quality is vital when cornering in terms of efficiency and safety. Failing brakes can be lethal, so improving them is one of the best investments you can make. Click here for more information on parts and accessories for your bike. 

7. LED Lights

An LED light kit is another mod which improves the look and safety of a bike. Other road users will be much more likely to see you on the road if the body of the bike is decorated with bright lights. This is particularly important at night. Light kits are available in a wide range of different colours and strobing patterns and you can play around with their placement depending on the look you are after. Visit The Drive for the best LED light kits of 2020.

On the day of the 100th anniversary of the birth of Fabio Taglioni, Ducati celebrates and honours the memory of the italian engineer, designer of numerous revolutionary projects. 

VisionTrack Ducati’s Josh Brookes stared Race 1 from the middle of the front row in 2nd place, but as the lights went out he was soon pushed back to 6th place. Brookes lost further positions, but was able to gain them all back as the race progressed, eventually crossing the line back in 6th.
