It was the biker connection that first brought Loz to Gizmag, but since then he's covered everything from alternative energy and weapons to medicine, marital aids - and of course, motorcycles. Loz also produces a number of video pieces for Gizmag, including his beloved bike reviews. He frequently disappears for weeks at a time to go touring with his vocal band Suade.   <a href="/web/20130125134318/http://www.gizmag.com/author/loz-blain/">All articles by Loz Blain</a> <br class="clear_both"> </div>  <div id="tags"> <span class="title">Tags</span> <div class="dotsontop"> <ul> <li>» <a href="/web/20130125134318/http://www.gizmag.com/tag/bone+conduction/" rel="tag">Bone Conduction</a></li> <li>» <a href="/web/20130125134318/http://www.gizmag.com/tag/cancer/" rel="tag">Cancer</a></li> <li>» <a href="/web/20130125134318/http://www.gizmag.com/tag/cars/" rel="tag">Cars</a></li> <li>» <a href="/web/20130125134318/http://www.gizmag.com/tag/chemotherapy/" rel="tag">Chemotherapy</a></li> <li>» <a href="/web/20130125134318/http://www.gizmag.com/tag/cochlear/" rel="tag">Cochlear</a></li> <li>» <a href="/web/20130125134318/http://www.gizmag.com/tag/electric/" rel="tag">Electric</a></li> <li>» <a href="/web/20130125134318/http://www.gizmag.com/tag/hearing+aid/" rel="tag">Hearing Aid</a></li> <li>» <a href="/web/20130125134318/http://www.gizmag.com/tag/podcast/" rel="tag">Podcast</a></li> </ul> <div class="clear_both"></div> </div> </div> <div id="bing_unit"></div> <span class="title">Post a Comment</span> <div class="dotsontop" id="comment_form_div"> <div id="comment_form" data-article="12867"> <div id="comments_login"> <form action="/web/20130125134318/http://www.gizmag.com/index.php" name="login_form" id="login_form" onsubmit="return false;"> <p class="bold">Login with your gizmag account:</p> <p id="login_status"></p> <label for="email">Email</label><input type="text" name="email" id="email" value=""/> <label for="password">Password</label><input type="password" name="password" id="password" value=""/> <input type="submit" value="Log In" class="med"/> <div id="options"> <a href="/web/20130125134318/http://www.gizmag.com/register/">Register here</a><br> <a href="/web/20130125134318/http://www.gizmag.com/new_password/">Forgotten your password?</a> </div> <input type="hidden" id="expired_comment" value=""/> </form> </div> <div id="facebook_login"> <p>Or <span class="bold">Login with Facebook:</span></p><br/> <div class="fb-login-button" data-scope="email" data-max-rows="1" data-onlogin="loginFUser(12867);" data-autologoutlink="true"></div> </div> </div> <div class="clear_both"></div> </div>  <span class="title">Related Articles</span> <div id="related_articles" class="dotsontop"> <ul> <li> <a href="/web/20130125134318/http://www.gizmag.com/go/2077/" title="Bone Conduction Headsets Deliver Safer, Clearer Sound"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130125134318im_/http://images.gizmag.com/related/2077_01.jpg" alt="Bone Conduction Headsets Deliver Safer, Clearer Sound"/> </a> <a class="rel_title" href="/web/20130125134318/http://www.gizmag.com/go/2077/">Bone Conduction Headsets Deliver Safer, Clearer Sound</a> <p class="rel_date">3rd August, 2003</p> </li> <li> <a href="/web/20130125134318/http://www.gizmag.com/cochlear-baha-hearing-aid-audio-input/12612/" title="The Cochlear BP100"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130125134318im_/http://images.gizmag.com/related/cochlear-bp100.jpg" alt="The Cochlear BP100"/> </a> <a class="rel_title" href="/web/20130125134318/http://www.gizmag.com/cochlear-baha-hearing-aid-audio-input/12612/">Cochlear launches next-generation BAHA hearing aid that's iPod, Bluetooth ready</a> <p class="rel_date">29th September, 2009</p> </li> <li> <a href="/web/20130125134318/http://www.gizmag.com/pantech-unveils-bone-conduction-mobile-phone-handset/8214/" title="Pantech-au A1407PT bone-conduction phone"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130125134318im_/http://images.gizmag.com/related/8214_22100731157.jpg" alt="Pantech-au A1407PT bone-conduction phone"/> </a> <a class="rel_title" href="/web/20130125134318/http://www.gizmag.com/pantech-unveils-bone-conduction-mobile-phone-handset/8214/">Pantech unveils bone conduction mobile phone handset</a> <p class="rel_date">21st October, 2007</p> </li> <li> <a href="/web/20130125134318/http://www.gizmag.com/go/2569/" title="Aqua FM Snorkel -
