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...
Had a brilliant day today at the London Winter Run 10k. The biggest 10k race in the UK with over 22,000 entrants, sponsored by Cancer Research UK. Ran in support of my good mate Pete who is battling...
I've been using a Coros Apex Pro 2 since Christmas for running and skiing. It's been fantastic. Battery life is excellent - I run with it 3-4 times a week for 4hrs on average, use it all day, multi...
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?
My two contributions that get regularly worn in rotation.

Good points on both
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!

I think many would say the RS6 is hardly styled as a bland estate. It is brutish with flared arches, oversized wheels, aggressive face/chin, and a design language that is all aggression.

Satellite reception for timezones.
Indestructible for jumping down chimneys.
A brand that all people know from their youth. A classic, like himself.
Casio G-Shock 5610 it has to be.

Whilst the SkyD has unique and usable functionality, it is borderline too big for many or is, at least, a bit in-yer-face due to the fluted bezel, height, and 42mm that wears larger than expected. It...
Having waited for a long time, the 116500 lived up to my expectations. It wears beautifully on the wrist for a chrono, and perfectly suits my casual/sports/work vibe. But sadly, combined with the...
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...
Skipped Parkrun and went for Saturday breakfast

If you browse the Tumi/Rimowa websites, they both offer international and domestic size roll-ons. Else worth checking the link posted above per airline. At the end of the day, I just stick with the...
There are generally 2 standards as a guideline: 'international' vs 'domestic [USA]' standards. Safer to just go with the [smaller] International standard and generally never worry too much whether...
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...
I've been a frequent flyer for the best part of 30y. Like you, I love the look of Rimowa. But what has been ultra-reliable, strong, practical, and quite good looking in a utilitarian way have been...
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...
