Motorcycle life – motorbike travel and pictures
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 […]
Motorcycle days – early start to beat the afternoon heat With the decent summer weather continuing and a warm spell back with us for a few days this week, it made sense to head out for a ride and to leave home early before the main heat of the day arrived. And that is exactly […]
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 looking good in black & white I accept that with many things beauty is always in the eye of the beholder, and I suppose that motorbikes are no exception. I find that with the BMW RnineT it’s a bike that I really like the look of no matter which angle I view it […]
Sunny motorcycle days on the RnineT Sunny motorcycle days on the RnineT. Sunshine and a BMW RnineT are a hard combination to beat.

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 […]
Back on the BMW RnineT – service and new rear tyre sorted I had my BMW RnineT in at MW Motorbikes earlier this week, it was in for a routine service and a new rear tyre. I stuck with the stock tyre (Metzeler) as I’ve found it to be pretty good both in terms of […]
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 […]
There have been a couple of days in recent weeks, that despite the onset of Autumn have made for pretty much ideal riding conditions – and I’ve been able to get out on each of my bikes, although the Moto Guzzi is currently in my local bike workshop having an electrical issue sorted, and which […]
