riding bikes and doing other things
A couple of weeks back I had been browsing the Wunderlich website looking at everything I didn’t know I wanted and didn’t know I needed … and I noticed that I could request the 2019 catalogue, which in a way seemed sort of unusual given that almost everything is online now. As much as I […]

It’s not so often that you get a new motorcycle dealership that opens fairly near to where you live (in my case probably only around five or so miles away), but that is exactly what has just happened. The actual location is down near the J&S Accessories (Manchester branch) in Openshaw – which is about […]

Inevitably Blog posts from me slow down over the winter period, some days it feels like it’s too cold to go into the garage never mind contemplate getting one of the bikes out. I do have some plans for later in 2019, but more of that in later posts – this post is just about […]

A couple of weeks ago I saw a post from someone who had fitted some neat looking ‘exhaust tips’ to the twin Akro’s on his RnineT … they looked very decent and given that they were less than £52 (approx €57) they seemed well worth a punt. They arrived earlier this week and I’ve just […]

I was sorting through some old emails earlier whilst having a general tidy up when I came across an email from 2007. The email had been prompted by me reading the August edition of the monthly Fast Bikes magazine and they had featured a used Suzuki GSR-600. The bike had previously been mine and I […]
