Thought I'd start a quick blog. Should have started it last year when I first signed up on this forum, but I have been a bit too busy with workload.
Well, instead of putting it off any longer, I thought I'd bite the bullet and get on with writing up my experiences, in the hope that it might prove informative to some, and maybe even encourage more people to take to the dirt bike scene.
The BikeAs some may see from my first posts, I bought myself a 1998 Honda XR400R last May 9 (2012), as I wanted to get some decent off-road dirt bike experie...
Travelling around SE Asia by motorbike is reckoned by many to be the best way of exploring this fascinating part of the world and meeting up with the locals, who themselves typically favour getting around by bike over all other forms of travel.
When travelling by car is impossible or at least intimidating, bikes are the answer. There are dozens of last minute holiday deals to areas of Southeast Asia with excellent bike trails, so consider hiring a bike in Vietnam or Cambodia and setting out for the experience of a lifetime. Speeding past...
A 1989 Chevrolet Corvette that was taken off a dealer's lot 23 years back has been discovered from storage in great condition. With only 67 miles on the odometer, the sports vehicle sold for around its initial sticker cost. Are you currently looking to buy or sell a new or used automobile? If this portrays you, get a quote at auto Spokane! Want to know find out more about Gus Johnson Ford?
Car taken off lot by immigrant The Corvette was stolen off the lot by an Irish immigrant in California. He was with “associates” who were crime members he k...
This is by no means a guide covering every question that could be asked about going to the famous Elefant Rally in Germany but it might help one of two thinking of going for the first time. We've been 4 times now (that'll be 5 in a few weeks) and have seen mud, blizzards, -20c temperatures and snowdrifts blocking the access road so there can't be much more to hit us.
Where is it? The organisers describe it as being in Loh/Thurmansbang - Solla. Well that's not overly accurate but if you go to the BVDM website it tells you the motorway junction ...
We have just ridden 53,800 kilometers from Cape Town to Shanghai. 12,300 Kms were in China (incl. Tibet). I rode together with my girlfriend, who two months before we set didn't have a driving licence. We rode KTM 990 Adventures across Africa, Middle East and Europe and in China we rode the surprisingly good, CF Moto 650 TR which is the first good quality touring bike made in China. The next leg is Alaska to Chile and we will ride the new KTM/CF Moto Adventure bike. Our pictures and diary are at www.bigbiketrip.net

Riding a motorcycle is one way of venturesome people who want to experience the true feeling of being in the limitless state of enjoyment and satisfaction which can never be fulfilled by mere doing of simple tasks and ordinary traveling from a common place to another. It's ultimately different from any other kind of habits; hence, when a rider starts to ignite the engine, there follows then the “smoke” of excitement which seems so indescribable until the end of the entire journey. Thus, to enjoy that journey, he must equipped himself with a dur...
Lads and ladies
Thank you for all your support over the last weeks... I am almost ready to take Triumph to Court and plan to file the case on Monday week.... If you remember my 18 month old Triumph developed rust in the fuel tank and Triumph and the dealership decided that this was not covered by the warranty... I disagree as it seems do most of you!
And so off we are going to Court!
I would also like to see how many signatures I can collect on this petition... The power of the Internet!
If you agree that this is a Warranty issue please do ...
Just got to the UK after spending the last 12 months riding 33,000 kilometers across Africa, the middle east and Europe and took an opportunity to test driven the Triumph Explorer, XC800 and Speed triple... The Speed Triple was by far the most fun followed by the XC800 which has a very sweet engine but I have doubts about its long term adventure ability. The Explorer was forgettable, not very well balanced and not that exciting and seems to be in the same category as all the big black tar bikes which look a bit adventure-like but are really roa...
We eventually arrived in the UK after riding 33,000 kilometers from our starting point in South Africa. Where we go from here is discussed in our diary at www.bigbiketrip.net. We looking for any views or suggestions on Americas route or west Africa routes.
