Yup I’m all for this, a staged and graduated progression through various levels of cars is a good idea, it’s just bringing it into line with bikes. I can’t imagine anyone bar the rich kids complaining about this.

... in the park. Fuelling is a little jerky low down and it wasn't the easiest to ride in very heavy traffic on the M6. It's a tall bike, as Adventure bikes tend to be. The seat is firm, perhaps too firm. Great large display screen which is easy to read and use. The suspension is very plush, it's semi ...

Saturday will be getting the gixer sorted and all my kit together for Spain as the bikes are being loaded next week. Plus all the usual chores, to get ready for next week. Sunday I will be working (ish) down at Brands, its BTCC & last race of the year and all ...

Friday, nothing, probably wash the bike.
Sat off up to Portpatric with some mates on bikes.
Sun is riding around that area and down to the lakes.
Monday ride home and relax.

Me too!!

So is that 4 bikes in the stable Blade?

My kit is with the bikes. If someone is intent on stealing bikes I don’t think gear being there or not will make any difference.

Just ensure your garage is fully secure.

If it has up and over door and you have other access then bolt it from the inside.

Adventure bikes can embarrass sportsbikes on the road.

I test rode a GS and a Multistrada and unless you ride like a dick it would be hard to go any quicker on any motorcycle tbh.

Thing is these sort of bikes have suspension better suited to road use, even fast road use. They handle so much better than they ever used to.

I do find it very odd that I've gone from sports bikes to a big fook off Adventure bike in a very short space of time.

... head bearings had gone and you could feel the steering drop. The cost was 225.00 for the day with maximum of I think 10 people. There were 6 new bikes but it was the 2 smaller ones which were old and not maintained which was disappointing. I was offered to dump the bike by the hedge and hitch ...

... get it to go in straight line and battled for another hour until I threw in the towel . There were no replacements and only had the 2 smaller bikes in the fleet

Just booked a hotel room for the weekend, off up to Portpatric at the weekend with some mates on bikes... Good chance to test the panniers. Not that i will even fill 1 for an overnighter.

... Let the Versys take another winter battering. Sell the Versys in Spring. Not that I've been thinking about it or owt. Or wait and buy one of these bikes in the Spring - sounds like they cant shift them if thats the discount? Depends how sensible your feeling! Ultimately it depends if the space ...

... company and they have stated that the ferry company don't check information as in depth as that. What they are looking for is how many people and bikes are coming in. Eg my voucher says 3 lads and 3 bikes - this will be enough to get onto the ferry there and back again. So this part of the trip ...

Looks brilliant Rocket, & an interesting mix of competing bikes .

You do need to have a serious word with your mate though,; -That has to be the most unattractive looking Trolly Dolly I've ever seen.!

Ordered a cap for my bikes mirror. The mirror and the indicator are all in the same shaft so there's a cap which covers the wires. It must of popped off at some point when I went to Wales a month back so since then I've put tape around ...
