It’s the last day of 2014, and I’m one of those reflecting on the past year and looking forward to the next.

When @Benmooreracing told us he’d be taking in part in this weekend’s Red Bull Dark Knights event in Singapore we had a great idea … let’s see if we can make a jersey that will get #Flare on the map and give us the freedom to get as many puns as we can into the […]

Morocco is a country that serves up travel clichés and unpredictable surprises in equal measures.
