riding bikes and doing other things
It’s just a day short of seven weeks since I banged my knee and fractured it – which meant the first four weeks I did almost absolutely nothing and then the last couple of weeks doing a little bit more but a long long way off anything like normal activity. The bikes remain in the […]

Its a slow job but progress is being made. If you saw my Doctors Orders, post the other day then you’ll know that apart from other things I’m a little way off from getting getting back on the bikes, so much so that my scheduled trip for July has been postponed. But progress is being […]

It’s June already and I can’t even say that my biking this year (2019) has been a stop/start affair. It started later than usual and then stopped and it’s remained stopped and I don’t quite have a date yet for when it might get started. It was a later than usual start to my biking […]

As an owner of a BMW RnineT I don’t need to be asked twice to take a look at pictures of this magnificent Boxer twin, and it’s fair to say I never tire of looking at the different approaches that owners and/or bike builders have taken to put their own stamp on the machine. For […]

Inevitably Blog posts from me slow down over the winter period, some days it feels like it’s too cold to go into the garage never mind contemplate getting one of the bikes out. I do have some plans for later in 2019, but more of that in later posts – this post is just about […]

A couple of weeks ago I saw a post from someone who had fitted some neat looking ‘exhaust tips’ to the twin Akro’s on his RnineT … they looked very decent and given that they were less than £52 (approx €57) they seemed well worth a punt. They arrived earlier this week and I’ve just […]
