I spent a few months up there riding bikes, mostly Japanese 125s because it was 25 years ago and the Enfields were sh!t then. Desperately want to go back and thinking I might do it with this company in the next couple of years. I'm too old to fix punctures in the mountains now. https://www.nomadickn...

I popped into Potteries Motorcycles yesterday to see that 40th-anniversary paint scheme in the flesh, but they don't have any of the 2024 bikes in yet.

Fair point

F@cking socialists!!!

It's utterly vile and our government is not only supporting it, it's actively egging it on. Rishi literally said we want you to win! Win, win what?!! I'm f@cking furious!
