Motorcycle life – motorbike travel and pictures
As the lockdown continues in the UK I have continued to cast my mind back to previous years biking and trips and this lockdown post reflects back to 2017. 2017 was quite simply a standout year for my biking. There was the usual general activity that included the Manchester and NEC bike shows and another […]
This post goes back to a 5,000 mile European trip that I did in 2015 and that I had mentioned in the previous Lockdown Lookback Part 7. In some respects it was a trip of two parts – the first part was with three friends making our way from the Spanish port of Bilbao, […]
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 […]
Last year I traded one of my bikes (a CB1000R) for a new Z1000SX and during the second or third week that I had it I dropped it – thankfully it was at just about zero mph. A simple one really and one that should have been avoidable. As I pulled of the A road […]
Just back from a very decent few days in Scotland (Friday to Sunday) – exceptional weather for October, although the timing for our annual Scottish trip was later than usual we really were fortunate with the weather and had only one light shower on Friday followed by a heavy downpour later on towards tea time, […]
Had a cracking couple of days away on the bike and stayed at a reasonable B&B in Moffat (see the earlier post) Came back via some of the Cumbrian west coast – some of which was only average but decent enough from Barrow onwards. I was also speaking to a couple of bikers who were […]
Schools are back, roads are quiet, the sunshine is back so … couple of full days riding in order, up through North Yorks on to Selkirk then back down to Moffat for an overnight stay – then home tomorrow
SP Engineering – Carbon Tri Oval Like most things in life one mans meat is another mans poison and I suppose there are as many opinions about after-market cans as there are cans themselves. I actually don’t think the standard exhaust on the 2014 Z1000 SX look too bad. In fact I think they look […]
Facebook readers can access the full article on the blog at http://1894tony.wordpress.com/ There’s load of pictures posted there clicking the first one opens the gallery I only had to make a few decisions today one of which was what bike to ride and the other was where to go – and although I got two […]
Some pictures from the past week which thankfully wasn’t any more taxing than usual, but did include: some decent and welcome Fathers Day gifts; getting a new rear tyre sorted on the Moto Guzzi; a new part for the Kawasaki Z1000; some very modest preparation for the upcoming road trip to Germany; decent ride out […]
