Motorcycle life – motorbike travel and pictures
Summer arrived again just for one day – so out on the RnineT Summer 2024 already seems to have a similar feel to summer 2023. Seemingly endless rain day after day is really making biking more miss than hit. You might recall that last year (around about this time) I cancelled my planned trip to […]
The motorbikes may have changed but the story stays the same Sometimes life gets in the way of things. Family commitments, work commitments, bad weather, good weather and even a global pandemic can change what we do and how we do it. Sometimes we just make plans and change them and sometimes we just change […]
Rolling back the years – BSA, Honda & Moto Guzzi at Broxton. A couple of weeks ago I wrote about meeting a guy called Ian who was on his pretty impressive Triumph TR6 and who I had met when I stopped at the Broxton Butty Van (get directions here) located behind the Edgerton Arms in […]
Superb day on the BMW F900 XR – out and about in North Wales The change in the weather in the last week was welcome and I intended to make the most of it. On the previous day my wife and I had headed off (in the car) to Ambleside in the Lake District, but […]
Suns out, the bikes are out and the roads are dry …for now After leaving the Broxton butty van stop and having chatted to Ian about his very decent Triumph TR6 (see previous post here) I headed on and took a non direct route back towards Whitchurch before heading for home. On the way I […]
Triumph at Broxton – a nod to Honda’s 1966 nicest people ad’ In 1966 Honda served up one of its most distinctive and memorable advertising lines in America. Some people say the line ‘You Meet The Nicest People On A Honda’ is one of the most genuinely iconic motorcycle sales slogan ever. Last time out […]
BMW F900 XR The Old Stores motor bike cafe & Horseshoe Pass. The recent upturn in the weather has meant that in the last couple of weeks I have been able to get out on each of my bikes. A few days earlier I had headed to Cheshire on the Moto Guzzi V7 and stopped […]
Moto Guzzi V7 Cafe – out and about and coffee at Tilly’s. Apart from taking the Moto Guzzi for its MoT last week, it seems absolutely ages since I have been out on it. The ride up to MW Motorcycles for the MoT is so close to home that it barely counts as a ride […]
Moto Guzzi V7 Cafe time for the annual MoT at MW Motorcycles After having my BMW RnineT in MW Motorcycles earlier in the month for its annual MoT (see this link), it was time to make another trip – this time with the Moto Guzzi. As ever a trip to see Alan and Chris at […]
Not so much showers as downpours – it’s time to stop raining Last time i wrote I said I had been out on the BMW RnineT and had also been down to Williams to look at the new R12 nineT … I had also spent plenty of time dodging the rain. It’s not that I […]
