Have had a pretty tough 2024 so far and not been able to fully focus on many things I wanted to. But today was a good day and the first decent ride out on the GS down to the new C&M in Petersfield...

I have had the R20, R25, and R30. All good and provided me many years of service the last 20 years or so. But the best is the R22 which is what I have replaced them all with. The R22 is fully...

That is lovely. Have long considered adding an R80 or R100 GS to my garage. Yours looks ace! Anything specific to look out for in your experience?

6/4/2. An inline 6, a V4, and a Boxer Twin. The CBX took top prize for most epic noise ever, outgunning the full system V4 Duc!

Congrats! Saw your post on UKGSer. The GS is probably the most complete bike on sale today and capable of some astonishing things - its limit is the rider. It takes a bit of adjustment in riding...

I've had a TMax and also a several Vespas before - this is the second GTS300. Took mine down to Surrey Hills today from London, and it cruised happily at 70 on the A3/M25. It rode the roads around...

Now on my 4th GS. Had 2 x 1200s and 2 x 1250s. My current 1250 (2021 Bumblebee) is significantly stronger than the 2019 1250 Rallye.

Contemplated the GSA, tried it, and quite simply... if you...

I am regularly intrigued by how some are interested in how people finance their stuff. At the end of the day, if it works out better for them as everyones finances are different. Sinking cash into...

That should make a nice upgrade and could transform the R9T - certainly based on my ride on an Urban R9T just last week from the Motorrad dealer whilst my bike was in for a routine service. Ohlins...

Bimbling is great. And you don’t need to blitz around everywhere. There is also a very good medium. You don’t need to blitz everywhere to appreciate good suspension and handling.

The R9T has a proven drivetrain no doubt. But it is woefully let down by the standard RWU forks - they are underdamped, crashy, and offer slow rebound which ultimately does not allow the handling...

One of the best biking events on the calendar imho. BMW run the event well, and given the number of staff and equipment present, I suspect they may run the event at a loss. The event is great fun and...

It was a good one and great to intro Andy & Pete to the thrills(!) of offroad riding.

Last year was my first time doing the event, and I was nervous and quite tense on the bike. So this year I...

Just back from a few days visiting Ypres, the Ardennes, and the Eifel mountains. Brilliant roads and we had a grand time. The Nurburgring was chaos, and every time we ventured they closed it to...

Thanks. The 1098R is archaic compared to the current electronically controlled bikes. It has no anti-wheelie, no lean angle sensors of any kind, and runs a traditional cable throttle. The 1098R is...

I have often thought about swapping for other bikes that would get more mileage and use, but we have been all around Europe together chasing the sunset on some of the best twisties and alpine passes....

She came back from a full belts service, new coils, and took her out for the first time in too long. Ran her up and around my usual roads, then paused at Heathrow on the way back. The big Vtwin and...

We all bounced well then… sort of!

Sorry to hear this, but am glad you luckily escaped to tell the story.

Anyone who is willing to sit on a bike sandwiched between 2 cars/vans/trucks should re-evaluate their understanding of what is safe road positioning on a bike. It is safer to always ensure you have...

Kudos. It takes courage to admit, pause (or stop), and know that even if you could, you shouldn't, for the safety of all involved.

A biker friend of mine suffered a stroke a few years back. Against his will, the doctors took the steps to have his biking licence revoked whilst he was going through rehab and recovery. He was...

I will make one reply with 3 points, only to address your points made above, as ultimately you are responsible for your own health and well-being. However, we also have a duty of care and degree of...

Ok, I am going to say something that is perhaps unpopular here. But I agree with Gyp.

With all due respect Tony, this is effectively what you suggested the last time before heading out on your...

Really enjoyed it, Andy. Thanks for the invite. It was the most enjoyable day's riding I've had since we were returning from Germany! Spent an hour cleaning the bike when I got home - always a sign...
