Motorcycle life – motorbike travel and pictures
I should have been getting ready to head to Spain & Portugal It’s certainly true that none of us ever really know quite what’s round the corner – both literally and figuratively. It’s been a few weeks since I last posted on here. In fact my last post was back at the end of June […]

BMW RnineT – the boxer at Barton and a coffee trip to Tillys With a welcome change in the weather I was out and about a couple of times in the last week. My previous ride was the week before when I made the short journey from home to MW Motorcycles to have the annual […]
Another day, another MoT, another year another journey ahead Another day, another MoT—so it was time to pay another visit to Alan and Chris at MW Motorcycles. It feels like I was just there! In fact, only a couple of weeks ago, my BMW RnineT was in for its annual service, MoT, and a fresh […]
BMW RnineT – daffodils and a boxer twin, spring has arrived. Spring is here and fresh from the annual MoT, service and new front tyre I was out on my magnificent BMW RnineT. In my last post I wrote about my RnineT being in at MW Motorcyles for its service. This in turn meant the […]
