time to say goodbye to the bike …

1 Comment
| BMW RnineT, General, On the road, Product/service reviews

I’ve just about to trade one of the best bikes I’ve ever had. The Kawasaki Z1000 SX I have had for the last three and a quarter years or so  has quite simply been superb from the day I got it back in May 2014 until the day I said goodbye to it. It was […]

I was in Williams BMW (Manchester) today and they had just taken delivery of the new BMW K1600B, I’ve got to be honest it’s absolutely not my kind of bike BUT without doubt it looks an incredibly impressive machine… and its massive! Its a six cylinder 1,649cc giant of a bike – there’s info on […]

motorcycle intercom …

1 Comment
| BMW RnineT, On the road, Product/service reviews

Back in May I bought the Cardo Freecom 2 Duo motorcycle intercom and I thought that it would make more sense to use it for a while rather than post a review before giving it full use. I had a good look around the web, reading reviews and so on as you do before deciding which […]

With sandwiches and coffee made and packed and with the prospect of a decent days weather we were on our way on the Vulcan for before 09:30. A cracking good day, good roads, fabulous scenery and a little over 200 miles done and we were home by around 17:15. We did the first 20 or […]

llangollen bike show 2017 …

No Comments
| Family, General, On the road

It was the annual Llangollen Motorcycle Festival at weekend (Llanfest 2017) and a show that I went to last year and really enjoyed. To be honest it was touch and go as to whether we went this year due to the continuing erratic weather that we have been having. Given the nature of the show […]

arai – pro shade review

1 Comment
| BMW RnineT, General, Product/service reviews

In the last few years quite a few helmet manufacturers have been producing helmets with a flip down dark/tinted internal visor. It was one of those things that when I first saw it I couldn’t help but wonder why it hadn’t been done earlier. It certainly seemed a better (and easier) option than having to […]
