Motorcycle life – motorbike travel and pictures
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. Anyone remember the names of the various storms […]
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 […]
Stumbled on an old review Funny what you come across when browsing the web … a review I wrote for The Bike Market web site back in 2018. When I saw the picture of the bike outside the timbered house I recognised it straight away as one of my own pictures, but it took me […]
Motorcycling and the last days of summer on the BMW R9T The ‘last days of summer’, the ‘last knockings of the good weather’ are words and sentiments that a number of years ago I wouldn’t have expected to be writing at this time of years as the calendar just about gets ready to tip over […]
