Re: Comfort......The most important thing on an Adventure Bike?

I’ve got to agree with the comfort of the Varadero, even two up I could spend all day in the saddle. Just a shame about the weight especially fully loaded. The Crosstourer is great on comfort too but the suspension let it down. My current KTM 1190 Adv S is ticking all the boxes at the moment. Plenty...

Everyone is just a consumer and with higher automat...

Re: brexit put me off BMW

Jak, that’s a very rosey view of the EU and if we were staying in the union then HD would have come here. Unfortunately most manufacturing has moved east to capitalise on cheap labour.

Re: UK to miss out on cheaper motorcycles

Re: Syndrome X

Sorry to hear your bad news and I know nothing about Syndrome X. Medication is the preferred treatment before any surgery due to the risks involved. If you try looking for alternative to the drugs your wife is on and then speak to her consultant about a change due to the side effects she is having. ...
