Motorcycle life – motorbike travel and pictures
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 […]
Moto Guzzi V7 Cafe Classic- picture post Picture and blog wise it still feels as though I am catching up from my trip to Ireland earlier this month – it’s the trip I mentioned in my last post (at this link). I have made a start on the blog post(s). All the pictures are sorted […]
Moto Guzzi V7 Cafe Classic – another trip to MW Motorcycles Another day and another trip to MW Motorcycles. The last time I was there with the Moto Guzzi was back in September/October last year (2020) after the bike had developed some electrical problems which ended what should have been a decent ride having to […]

Warm sunshine, blue sky and a few hours to spare made for an ideal recipe to roll the Moto Guzzi V7 out of the garage yesterday and to head out for a coffee. Other afternoon commitments meant that I didn’t have a full day – but I was happy enough with the few hours I […]
Anyone that reads my Blog will know that I’m always happy to say when I’ve had great service or found somewhere decent and this week was no exception to the excellent service that I always get when I call into MW Motorcycles. This particular visit was for the annual MoT for my Moto Guzzi V7 […]
