On the road to Scotland again…

August 23, 2020
No Comments

On the road to Scotland again…it doesn’t really seem to matter how many times I go to Scotland or just where it is that I go to in Scotland, it’s always good, and a short trip last week was no exception. The ongoing Covid pandemic has disrupted plans for countless numbers of people and for […]

more time on the BMW F800R

August 13, 2020
No Comments

The continued good weather has meant it’s been an ideal time to get out on the bikes, so having been out on the RnineT a couple of days previously I went out for this ride on the F800. I headed out towards Llangollen, the Horseshoe Pass and then looped across the hills and round to […]

tankbag on a BMW F800 R …

August 12, 2020
No Comments

For the last few years I have used a small Givi tank lock tank bag and it’s been used on a Kawasaki Z1000SX, a BMW RnineT and a Kawasaki Vulcan 650S. The bag has seen plenty of service and travelled widely across eastern and western Europe as well as any number of trips in the […]

luggage on the BMW F800R

August 10, 2020
No Comments

Luggage on the BMW F800R I’ve just fitted some luggage on the BMW F800 R that I have recently bought, and its probably fair to say that there isn’t much luggage that is ever going to make a bike look much better – motorcycle luggage tends to be more about function over form than form […]

different day, different bike …

August 9, 2020
No Comments

After the last three bike rides being on the new BMW F800 which I picked up last week from Derby Kawasaki I decided that yesterday’s ride would be on the RnineT and altogether different riding experience. I headed out early along the familiar Cheshire roads out towards Alderley Edge, before turning towards Jodrell Bank and […]

out and about on the BMW F800R …

No Comments

Another day with the prospect of dry weather saw me roll the F800 out of the garage for a few hours. I’ll wait a little longer before I post my review type thoughts on the bike, but early impressions are all pretty much as expected, it’s an easy to ride bike with decent levels of […]

first ride on BMW F800R

August 7, 2020
No Comments

Since picking up the BMW F800 R last weekend I have managed to get out a couple of times and probably done around 350 or so miles now. The first ride was around the Cheshire area, heading out from home via Stockport, Alderley Edge, Jodrell Bank and Holmes Chapel and then towards Oulton Park but […]

sat nav and bag on BMW F800R …

August 6, 2020
No Comments

There were a couple of first jobs to do on the new bike, namely fitting the sat nav and figuring a safe way to secure a small cargo bag. With the F800 having a plastic ‘tank’ options for fitting my (very old but still servicable) Givi Tanklock bag mean it needs to be a different […]

new bike day at Derby Kawasaki

August 4, 2020
1 Comment

The first question Jack (from Deby Kawasaki) asked me when I arrived on Saturday to collect my BMW F800 R  was “are you excited”, it was a question that in all honesty he could have easily predicted the answer to – any day when you collect a new bike is a good day and a […]
