tasty RnineT …

April 30, 2018
1 Comment

A friend of mine called into the BMW Motorrad dealer in Chester last week and saw a rather stunning BMW RnineT. He was good enough to take a few snaps of the bike and sent them onto me – this one really is a stunner. I had a quick Google search on the web and […]

new bike from moto guzzi …

April 29, 2018
No Comments

Although the style of the new Moto Guzzi ‘adventure’ bike – the V85 isn’t quite my cup of tea, its nice to see the Guzzi factory adding something new (and different) to its range. It was originally unveiled as a concept bike at last year’s Milan Motorcycle show and apparently is scheduled to be available […]

summers on the way – back on the road (2)

April 22, 2018
No Comments

I wrote in the previous post that with the onset of summer and the all round improvement in the weather I was able to get out on the bikes this week  – first up was few miles on the RnineT (see the post here). Yesterday it was time to get the Kawasaki Vulcan S out […]

summers on the way … back on the road (1)

No Comments

The more than welcome improvement in the weather this week meant I was able to get out a couple of time on the bikes. It seems as though the cold and wet of winter has dragged on so much longer this year than in previous recent years. So at last it was time to take […]

unusual bmw …

April 18, 2018
No Comments

I don’t recall seeing too many BMW trike builds or conversions over the years – but the other day when driving down to Cardiff in Wales from Manchester in the North West of England I spotted one in a car park in Shropshire. It’s not my cup of tea, but I suppose there are all […]

luggage on the RnineT …

April 15, 2018
4 Comments

I changed one of my bikes last year for a BMW RnineT. The bike I traded was a Kawasaki Z1000SX, which was probably just about the best ‘all rounder’ that I have ever had. When it comes to touring it really is an ideal bike and that one took me all over western Europe (on […]

speaking up for great service …

April 14, 2018
2 Comments

I always think it’s fair enough to speak up when the service you have had at a shop, dealer or anywhere else falls short of what you might reasonably expect – by the same measure I think it’s got to be fair enough to speak up for good service. When the service goes beyond good […]

April 11, 2018
No Comments

When it comes to choosing the best or the right gear for riding your bike and you’re searching the web to check out the merits of textiles, leathers or jeans then it’s a certainly that your search will return a whole range of opinions and answers, often at odds with each other. I’ve written about […]

three seater RnineT …

April 10, 2018
No Comments

OK, well not really, but after the previous days ride the bike needed a clean – as I was just about finished my grandchildren arrived, and as ever were keen to help. Once done they ‘assisted’ with taking the bike of the paddock stand, before demonstrating that you really can get three people on an […]
