Motorcycle life – motorbike travel and pictures
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 […]
Spring – time for the RnineT service, MoT and new front tyre For some people the arrival of spring is often characterised by the arrival of warmer weather, the sight of daffodils blooming and of course more sunshine to lighten the day. The first day of spring in the UK was the 20th March, so […]
Back on the road on the BMW RnineT – sunny days in Cheshire. Last time I posted was a couple of weeks ago in mid August when I was catching up after my latest trip to Ireland on the F900 XR. Last month’s trip was short but enjoyable. I have always maintained that if you […]
BMW RnineT fine day for a ride, coffee, sunshine & 200 miles I had been so close to heading to Ireland last week. I had provisionally identified accommodation for a couple of nights in the coastal town of Killrush in County Clare and then a couple of nights in Bantry down in Cork. The ferry […]
Come on spring, come on summer – lets have some good weather Although it’s still only early April, my mind has been wandering back to last year and the prolonged period of dismal weather that stayed across the UK and parts of Europe for way too long.

BMW RnineT a classic roadster and a decent Sunday morning Not all bikes are created equal and there really is no good reason why they should be. The RnineT is a bike that is so much more than the sum of its parts … and its parts are all good. Manufacturers, journalists and bikers have […]
BMW RnineT – good morning sunshine, heading for the coast I had said the other week about how it felt like the change to better weather seemed to be taking an age this year. Thankfully it seems we have now turned the corner and with the good weather at weekend I was up, out and […]
BMW motorbikes – heading for Spring and the biking season It seems to be taking an age this year for the weather to turn, and it feels like it’s been colder and wetter for much longer into this year than in recent years. We can’t control the weather, it is what it is, but there […]
Somewhere over the rainbow Cheshire roads on the BMW RnineT I mentioned in my last post that my magnificent BMW RnineT had been in my local motorcycle workshop (MW Motorcycles) for its annual MoT. A couple of days later with sunshine and bright blue sky I headed out for a short ride. Although the shy […]
It’s that time of the year motorcycle MoT at MW Motorcycles. It’s that time of the year when the weather starts to improve and I get to look forward to getting out on the bikes again. A combination of personal commitments, time of year, bad weather, DiY work at home and a couple of decent […]
