Motorcycle life – motorbike travel and pictures
Wandering around Europe – part 4 In my previous trip post I wrote about riding along the Dalmatian Coast, past Dubrovnik and onto the pretty seaside town of Cavtat. I stayed in Cavtat for one night before heading back up the coast and then into the mountains – my destination was the small town of […]
I went down to the Manchester Bike Show with my nephew yesterday at Event City which is located right next door to the Trafford Centre. The weather in Manchester on Saturday was just glorious and although I didn’t travel by bike, plenty did and they were able to make the most of what felt like […]
