It felt that way Ben. And the chilli dog was....erm....interesting.

Went to see Elvis, Marilyn and the Blues Brothers today.

Another shout for the Trail Attacks. I have Conti Trail Attack 2’s on my Africa Twin and they are excellent on road whilst leaving a bit of capacity for mild off tarmac use if needed.

Thanks. She’s ok, has had stent fitted but apparently no damage to the heart.

Sorry to hear yours was cancelled and hope you find something else soon.

Just found out my trip to the Pyrenees on the Africa Twin has been postponed until September. Was due to catch the ferry tomorrow but my mate’s wife has been taken ill. Oh well.

I am travelling with a friend so hopefully the first line is covered but good to know just in case. I am somewhat thorough my planning (wife calls it worrying) so I have some tools and spares on...

Adac, that’s it thanks ;) The AT is from 2017 and not covered by Honda as far as I am aware.

Struggling to find actual reviews from bikers who have broken down when in France/Spain. Most reviews...

Can anyone recommend an effective breakdown assistance provider for a trip to Spain and France? I am obviously aware of the AA and RAC options and have also seen Start Rescue but it’s not so easy to...

BSA WM20?

I will try them but they look like they will still create pressure on the inner ear canal, something I am trying to avoid as I find it uncomfortable on longer rides.

Excellent information and some good tips to follow up. Need to get something I am happy with on long journeys and it’s worth spending a bit to get it right.

Out of interest, which type? I have been using some fairly generic soft memory foam type things made by Oxford but I am finding they put too much pressure on the inside of my ear. I had to stop to...

Thanks. It’s a 1941 BSA WM20 500cc side valve thumper. Ex British Army.

It’s the reason I took my bike test 2 years ago (at age 50).

Happy to say the convoy (4 vehicles, all from the village)...

I will be going for a short ride today. Leading a convoy of ex military vehicles through our village.

Took the Africa Twin out for a blast today. Only the third or fourth time I’ve been out on it and still getting used to the height, weight and DCT. I must say my Bonneville T120 is a much easier bike...

I may be interested if my early retirement plans work out.............pm heading your way :)

Not sure, but the bike was owned by a former Brigadier in the Royal Norfolk Regiment and he told me he chose the insignia as it would have been the one used by his regiment during D Day. It was...

What counts as interesting? 1971 Triumph Tiger 650 twin?

That’s very kind but the order placed now. I say crash bars but I am only really looking for drop protection after my moment of embarrassment.

My latest. I am still getting used to the size and weight. I’m 6’ tall and I almost dropped it second time out. Crash bars on order!

Strictly yes, but my hankering after an adventure bike is for wider use (at least that’s what I’m telling myself!). There’s an 18 month old HAT for sale near me so I may just pop along and see.

I have a growing urge for an adventure bike. Maybe a Honda Africa Twin or BMW GS but I would probably need to sell one of the current bikes to make room. I really must do a European road trip this...

As a relatively new rider (just over 1 year) this is all very sobering stuff.
