Many thanks to Dazzer for the bike rack picked up today, couldn't say "no" to the ladies jacket for the missus either.

Good luck with the travels and maybe catch ya again sometime! (thumbs)

I've had about 90 bikes in my time and I can honestly say not one has ever bored me, not even the wee C70. :woohoo:

If bikes are boring, then it's the rider to blame ha! :whistle:

I doubt I'm the only one here that sees all this high technical development as a step in the wrong direction with bikes (and cars ha!). Give me older less technical bikes any day, something I can work on and fix as and when they throw a wobbly. Let's face it, bikes are already extremely reliable fro...

Always feel awkward in England about any wild camping so I guess the authorities win but up in Scotland it's a whole new ball game where they often actually welcome it. Wales hit n miss but definitely do-able but as others have said, out of sight, out of mind. :dry: PS/ I've always found, wherever y...

PM sent!

Thanks to Shidosan's original post. I think you'll find your comments are a reflection of many peoples observations, ie politicians have their own hidden agendas and the media is controlled and doesn't tell the truth. That's why Brexit happened and why Trump is becoming the next president of the USA...

Freezing cold today, hadn't used the 860 for a few weeks so was curious how she'd do a really cold start. Six kicks later she was telling me she wanted to play so, out we went. Only rode for about an hour but what a fantastic ride that was on some Buxton back roads, took a few shots, this being my f...

Nice set up you have there, SB. Thinking of utilising the mini panniers I use for the XF & VX: http://www.nix.talktalk.net/vx.jpg They don't hold a whole lot but should be just enough for what I need in my travels. Thanks for the tyre recommendations too, SB & Red, I'll be looking into it. T...

Last Sunday met up with a couple of mates to cruise around the Yorkshire Dales. One's got an MT650 and the other a newish Triumph Bonnie. Knew I'd be doing at least 200 miles in the day with these bigger bikes but thought I'd take a chance with my 29 year old XT225 with knobblies. http://www.nix.tal...

I've got very fond memories of my tuned ZZR1400, that bike probably had somewhere around 200bhp and I've got to say I loved it dearly. I'm also a believer that if you've got the power, use it. Otherwise, what's the point? Overtaking was effortless and safe, cruising at any dialled in number was also...
