Re: Bike Safe Accommodation Scarborough.

Whilst I haven't stayed here, i've called in for lunch, and I know some of the family who are bikers. Its not convenient to walk into Scarborough as its on the Pickering road on the outskirts of town, but its a lovely safe place and the owners live onsite. Tell them a friend of Bryn recommended you....

Re: What's your advice regarding tank bags on long trips

I've got a Touratech Ibarra handlebar bag ( https://www.adventurebikeshop.co.uk/soft-luggage/touratech-handlebar-bag-ibarra/ ), and it's fine for day trips but too small for those to-hand items on longer trips plus it isn't waterproof. I considered the lomo crash bar bags, but they are out of stock ...

Re: What's your advice regarding tank bags on long trips

A backpack isn't an option as my girlfriend will be on the back, and behind her is a top box. A tank bag that looks like it will fit the bill is the Mosko nomax. It doesn't have one single compartment which could become a dumping ground for too much stuff, isn't too bulky, but also has a water bladd...

What's your advice regarding tank bags on long trips

I'm considering getting a tank bag for my 1250 GSA to use on our European trips. I've never had a tank bag before on any bike, but I like the idea of having documents, camera and essentials close to hand instead of having to get off and go into the hard luggage each time. What is the advice and/or e...

Re: Zaragoza hotel with parking

You could try Booking.com, choose the secure parking option and see what’s available. I tried that, and a lot offer parking, but when you enquire, its 'off-site parking' away from the hotel. I have gone with Barcelona Pats' suggestion, as that hotel has parking on-site and its only €6 per night for...

Re: What would you buy for £5000

A lot of the suggestions are good, but they seem to think you said this would be your only bike and not your only form of transport for work and fun, and for that reason I'd want something new'ish, nothing maintenance intesive, and something as reliable as possible. The older bikes are great as a to...

Re: Advice sought please, broken collarbone.

Sorry to read about what happened, I hope the guy who caused it stopped or was traced. Whichever route you decide to take, I would highly recommend you paying for some Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy afterwards to speed up and improve the healing of the bones. My mates who race, regularly break or fractur...

Zaragoza hotel with parking

Can anyone recommend a hotel in the heart of Zaragoza which has onsite parking for my GSA, which is as cheap as chips?
