Shoei GT Air II motorcycle helmet review

May 21, 2022
No Comments

Shoei GT Air II motorcycle helmet review For the last few years I have been using the excellent Arai Chaser V but recently made the decision to replace it.  It’s been a really good, comfortable helmet and although I cant quite recall when I bought it I know I had it on a 2014 trip […]

worth a stop – CafA556

July 24, 2020
No Comments

For many years and probably more than I really care to remember I have often headed out along the A556, either heading for North Wales, Shropshire or some of the back roads of Cheshire.

March 23, 2019
No Comments

June 26, 2018

Last week and quite unexpectedly my Father passed away. To say I am heartbroken is something of an understatement. Amidst the inevitable sadness and upset at a time like this, it doesn’t take very long to pull together a list of what needs to be done, and one of the tasks I had to do […]

fly screen on the BMW RnineT …

June 12, 2018
No Comments

I mentioned a week or two back that I had ordered a fly screen for the bike, I got round to fitting it last week and then used the bike with it on at weekend. First impressions are favorable and it does make a difference. I know there’s a pretty mixed view on fly screens, […]

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.

May 16, 2018
No Comments

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 […]
