I was meant to be skiing this week but we had a last minute change of plan due to some unfortunate circumstances and decided not to go.
Rather than mope around the house, my brother in law and I...
Cracking two bike garage right there.
I'm considering whether to upgrade my 2013 R1200GS to a newer 1250 but I like off road riding, and I don't think I'll be as inclined on a £12k bike

I'm in a similar place.
The prices are obscene when you spec the 1300 up with luggage, and enough extras to differentiate from my existing 2013 R1200GS TE.
We're talking nearly another 20k for...
I'm in Berlin this weekend so dragged my very patient wife to the new BMW Motorrad Welt in Spandau.
Obviously the new R1300 was here. Initial impressions are pretty positive. They've generally...
Logic says that the 1250 prices should drop more as fickle 1250 owners jump at the chance to buy the new model, but i am a member of several FB BMW GS forums, and for some it is having the adverse...
Lovely ride through Central London to visit the AP House.
My airhead costs so little to run, £120 insurance and no tax, ulez or mot to worry about, it becomes a fairly sensible machine to own.

Absolutely beaut.

Echoing these comments.
Well done for riding through the torrents. My other halves family are in Stroud and said the rain was the worst they've ever seen.
I have an R100RS that has been lightly...
Hi chaps
Just arrived in Antibes after leaving London on Saturday.
We stopped in Dijon and Grenoble, the finally in Cannes, having ridden the entire Route Napoleon down from Grenoble.

Thank you! I'll make sure I try a few of the local products!

Safe travels!
I'm off to South of France, my wife is flying down. We've kept the route pretty fluid, but aiming to be down in Dijon by tomorrow afternoon, then head into the alps on Sunday before...
I had a fantastic weekend of riding around South West.
Some highlights:
B4070 from Stroud to Cheltenham (although a farmer did pull out in front of me, which prompted an emergency stop before...
I'm also heading down to Nice in June. I'm going to ride down and my wife is flying.
Do let me know if you find any great roads, I'm planning on taking Route Napoleon down into Cannes.

Out of curiosity (thought provoked from Enochs post)
Has anyone done valve clearances on a road bike, and they are out of tolerance?
Everytime mine are done they are fine. I can't help but...
Tough choice about which BMW to ride today.
I went for the S1000RR as the other two will be ridden all through the winter....
Well, this year has been a real journey for my bike ownership
I started the year with a Ducati Diavel and a Suzuki GSXR750.
Out went the Gixxer and in came a 2000 R850GS. Then came an old...
Last weekend, I decided to take my 22 year old BMW R850GS to Cornwall, a 700 mile round trip.
I bought the bike beginning of April and it has only let me down once (when the seal around the oil...
I managed to get out on all three bikes this weekend: my 22 year old R850GS did a great job shuttling me and the mrs over to see my father after work on Friday afternoon.
My little Piaggio...
Lovely bike!
Cue those people who say you don't need TC or ABS...
I've had powerful sportsbikes without TC and ABS (RC8R, Gsxr750). I much prefer the comfort of having both aids available to...
Correct!

Yesterday I spent the day greenlaning around the Surrey Hills
Although I used to ride MX, I don't know where to start with green lanes - particularly because many lanes seem blocked or don't...

nice Tony.
I am about 15 minutes from Epping tea hut; there are some lovely roads out past Epping. The B184 is a favourite road of mine.

Tried some green laning today on the old GS
Had so much fun, helped by the fact I've just had some Anakee Adventure tires fitted
I've definitely got the big for adventure bikes and seriously...
