short scotland trip, part one …

| BMW RnineT, On the road

This week I had a couple of days spare and decided it was an ideal opportunity to have a ride up to Moffat in Scotland. The weather looked decent enough and the prospect of doing a couple of my favorite UK roads on the BMW was just too much to resist. I headed off from […]

| BMW RnineT, Product/service reviews

Ordered the Puig New Generation Fly Screens for my RnineT this week … I’ll post up in due course with fitting and post fitting pictures. And yes I know in advance that it’s more likely a case of form over function.

a fine day to be on a moto guzzi …

No Comments
| General, On the road, V7 Cafe

Warm sunshine, blue sky and a few hours to spare made for an ideal recipe to roll the Moto Guzzi V7 out of the garage yesterday and to head out for a coffee. Other afternoon commitments meant that I didn’t have a full day – but I was happy enough with the few hours I […]

not an RnineT, but you can see the heritage …

No Comments
| BMW RnineT, General, On the road

You never quite know what you are going to stumble on, and yesterday evening as I was returning from a walk I saw a couple pulling up outside their home pulling a trailer on the back of their 4×4 – and on that trailer was an intriguing old bike. Perhaps not surprisingly and like most […]

RnineT, different angles …

No Comments
| BMW RnineT, On the road

I was out and about yesterday, enjoying another day in the sunshine, and without exception every time I get off the RnineT my eyes are drawn to it, perhaps more so than any other bike I have ever owned. If you read my Blog posts you will know I have posted about the bike before, […]

motorrad luggage on the RnineT …

No Comments
| BMW RnineT, On the road, Product/service reviews

Back in April I wrote about sorting luggage out for my BMW RnineT – if you missed that post you can read it here. At that time I hadn’t actually got round to fitting on the bike, but with a European trip looming I thought I best give it a try, which is exactly what […]

Anyone that reads my Blog will know that I’m always happy to say when I’ve had great service or found somewhere decent and this week was no exception to the excellent service that I always get when I call into MW Motorcycles. This particular visit was for the annual MoT for my Moto Guzzi V7 […]

RnineT – a work of art?

No Comments
| BMW RnineT, On the road

I was out yesterday, no where special just a 100 or so miles pottering around the back roads of Cheshire. The weather was glorious and I was glad I had left home at around 07:00am before it got too warm, mind you I feel almost guilty using the words ‘too warm’ after the long and […]

sunny morning

| BMW RnineT

Lovely day in the North West yesterday. Could this actually be the start of the long overdue summer weather … it was too much to resist, so did an 80 mile round trip for a coffee.
