Motorcycle life – motorbike travel and pictures
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 […]

Motorcycle – summer days BMW RnineT Last time out I had done a few miles on the lovely Moto Guzzi V7 Cafe but this time it was my much loved BMW RnineT. In between times I had managed to finish and get posted my four part piece on the road trip to Ireland on the […]
BMW RnineT – over due miles It seems like it’s been too long since I was last out on a motorbike – and it seems that way because it really has been too long. Normally I would have been back on the bikes in maybe late February and certainly by March, but this year I […]
Out and about on the BMW RnineT A decent sunny September day provided an ideal opportunity for a few hours out on one of the bikes. I opted for the BMW RnineT, it’s such a good bike and hard to beat on a sunny day on the Cheshire back roads. I was only out for […]
Time for coffee 120 mile round trip for a coffee on the BMW RnineT Last time I was out on a bike was my recent (and excellent) trip to Scotland on my BMW F800R. Over the weekend I was out again. On this occasion it wasn’t a long trip or one that involved nights away […]
