We have one at work in the loading bay who rides his 125 30 miles each way 5 days a week as it’s the only way he can get into work from where he lives. I’ve always thought he was to be admired for...
There were a few armed police raids the other night in Eston. Shootings aren’t uncommon around here usually drugs related.

Just keep an eye out on that one that’s parallel to the A1, not only the camera van but the police use that for training so you can be sitting at 60 honest officer and get passed as if your stopped...
Euro compliance has killed them off, and to be honest they are pointless with the state of the roads now. That’s why the likes of the GS has surpassed sports bike sales for the last 15 years.

I think those are the Krauser ones on that.

Never moisten them, roll them in your fingers and pull your ear to straighten the canal before putting them in. I use them every day as we have to walk through the factory to get our keys and work...
I’m surprised the cafe has lasted so long, when Simon had AMR and started the cafe it was just for a bit of extra in money, when he sold AMR the woman who took the cafe over didn’t pay the rent and...
That’s one of the things that put people off, the VFR800 was a brilliant bike, could do everything and was easy to ride. I used to do Wensleydale to south of Limoges in a day regularly. I got the...

There a few places in Helmsley, the best got taken over a few years ago and got turned into Thomas the bakers. The roads from Masham to Hawes is fun but gets busy the summer with nutters so take the...

Don’t give up the thought of getting on a bike, everything is a risk even getting up. Just mitigate the risk and you’ll be fine, when I go out I treat everyone as a blind murderer that is trying to...

It’s just a confidence thing, I used to take my 1150 GSA off road quite a lot, decent tyres and confidence are the key. I did the Sabie GS challenge a few years ago and everyday was a school day. ...
Air hawk are really good as are sheepskins. I’ve never fully understood bike seats, on both my VFRs an 800 and a Vtec I could do the south of France from North Yorkshire in a day albeit a long one,...

TKC80s or something like them are what you need for anything more than a dry hard gravel road, Even though I rag my Gsa on Tourance on the roads I’ll change the wheels and tyres if it’s going to get...

Don’t know why as they were only offering £13.75 an hour to drivers when they advertised up here a few months ago. They only want semi retired and part timers so most wouldn’t touch the jobs with a...
