Have you ever wondered what you would do if you were out riding and came across a biker in a hedge, or even one of your own mates goes adrift? How would you control the scene? What should you do about evidence? How could you help the biker? Should you take their helmet off? How […]

I have a very weak prescription, and most of the time I do not need to wear my glasses. The only time that it becomes a help is when riding/driving in the dark. It may be an age thing, but I find that lights tend to halo and objects become less defined in the dark. […]
One of the things that I noticed about the new bike (R1200 GSA) was that the grips seemed really skinny. I don’t think I have really massive hands, but they really did just seem small. Generally, I do not get the feeling of leaning on the handlebars, but with the small/thin grips I was beginning […]

Last year I had condensation damage to the Hardley, and some light rusting of tools. There are two types of dehumidifier, those […]

It has been some time since I have added anything on here, mainly due to work and playing in the snow. So, I was sitting on the sofa and the laptop was getting heavy on my lap. I know, I thought, I will install the iTunes Remote app on my iPhone so I can control […]

I have to admit I was apprehensive about having brought the ST. It is a big bike and I was not sure it was right for my commuting. How wrong could I be. It is fantastic, and perfect for the job in hand. This week was the first 350 miles and I am looking forward […]

I was out and about today, which included a visit to Machine Mart. I was really tempted to buy a compressor, so I could do the leak test on the trike, but they did not seem to come with a hose let alone any tools. I had shouted out on a forum to borrow one, […]
