Motorcycle life – motorbike travel and pictures
BMW RnineT – the boxer at Barton and a coffee trip to Tillys With a welcome change in the weather I was out and about a couple of times in the last week. My previous ride was the week before when I made the short journey from home to MW Motorcycles to have the annual […]
Seven year itch – not a chance happy anniversary you beauty. It was back in 1955 when the American romantic comedy The Seven Year Itch with Marilyn Monroe was released. That in turn led to the super iconic picture of Monroe with her white dress being blown upwards while she stood on top of a […]
BMW RnineT fine day for a ride, coffee, sunshine & 200 miles I had been so close to heading to Ireland last week. I had provisionally identified accommodation for a couple of nights in the coastal town of Killrush in County Clare and then a couple of nights in Bantry down in Cork. The ferry […]
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 […]

Come on spring, come on summer – lets have some good weather Although it’s still only early April, my mind has been wandering back to last year and the prolonged period of dismal weather that stayed across the UK and parts of Europe for way too long. Anyone remember the names of the various storms […]
BMW RnineT – good morning sunshine, heading for the coast I had said the other week about how it felt like the change to better weather seemed to be taking an age this year. Thankfully it seems we have now turned the corner and with the good weather at weekend I was up, out and […]
Stumbled on an old review Funny what you come across when browsing the web … a review I wrote for The Bike Market web site back in 2018. When I saw the picture of the bike outside the timbered house I recognised it straight away as one of my own pictures, but it took me […]
Sunny motorcycle days on the RnineT Sunny motorcycle days on the RnineT. Sunshine and a BMW RnineT are a hard combination to beat. What’s not to like about sitting astride the boxer twin and taking it easy down Cheshire back roads without any particular plan and without any particular place to go. I did a […]
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 […]
