... for it but there's a dealer in Cannock that does the Pulse range which is one of the better quality models for around £1100 brand new on the road with a 5 year warranty ? Wow that's great for value Bratty. You got to let us know how you get on with that and if you do get one could you post ...

... onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; After just four days of testing with BMW’s S1000RR, the Tyco BMW team was able to give road racing stars Guy Martin and William Dunlop a great opening day base setting on their new bikes at Almeria, during the official BMW Motorrad test ...

I have to say KK, I'm quite envious of you, albeit in a good way. You have the open road, a beautiful country, a great bike, the visits of places and people dear... I'm quite enjoying living your adventure vicariously! It makes me envision a great adventure I should ...

Very tempting buy you going for one Rocket ??

I think I might

I've got the choice of the M6 or the M40/M42.

There is back road run I can do but I'll only do that when it's light. They are unlit country roads used by farm vehicles so I don't want to be hitting mud in the dark.

The thought of a Ninja 300 at Mallory is tempting though.

... to £4000 brand new if you haggle and obviously with 2 years oem warranty. Fully faired (protection for you and compoenents against the weather and road salt) with a more upright riding position than a sports bikes, mega low ins and tax, super economical, light and flickable with a punchy single ...

... models for £6799 with 0% finance over 3 years). Wondered if you did take a look what your thoughts were on it. On my recent quest to find a new road toy these didnt really come to my attention until I saw the offer on their website.

This looks like it ranks pretty high on the ultimate road trip list! Looking forward to seeing some video!

... the gorge as slips are common and rocks can appear on your line without warning. Then from Gisborne to Wairoa via the hills rather than the coast road. Another great run with plenty of corners, although being a rural road not many of the corners were speed posted so found myself having to hang ...

... the dual carriageway and it was shortly after this that the fault occurred. The fuel level was low before we put £20 in and it had been sorn off road since November so although run a few times it had only been on short runs. Maybe the fuel had gone off and me gassing it up swept some crap through. ...

Glad you and family are ok rocket. Unsure if I'd of changed my own wheel at side of road to be honest!!

... sure they have its as stupid as buying a ticket for a concert and then complaining the music is loud. If you don't like the TT don't move to the road race capital of the world.

... out thoroughly before I travelled although in fairness to them they organised an independent inspection but I don't think it included a thorough road test more a workshop based inspection. I told them any diagnostic work needs to be done by Porsche or a reputable Indy for me to have any confidence. ...

... out. Changing modes was a pain after the tracer. I have up trying after a bit. I do like a triple engine. They're pretty much spot on for regular road riding. The Trumpet had good grunt from the off, but it's not as sporty and certainly less refined that the Tracer's 900cc unit. It also sounds ...

After Monty reminding me that there is more of the A272 to ride, I did.... Oh how I have forgotten how good that road is heading into Sussex. The little section past the golf course is sweet, no traffic either, what there was, got dismissed pretty quick, Loomies was rammed too. ...

... snapped 10 min into the ride and I didn't get any footage!! I covered 260 km in 2 hrs. For 80km I didn't encounter any traffic on my side of the road. My mate Ed had taken the hard luggage so the bike was clean and in Sport mode. I'm not exaggerating, it was freaking magic. I've sorted out the ...

What you all up to?

Off to the Opera tonight with Mrs Kwacky to see The Magic Flute.

Road testing a bunch of bikes on Saturday

Trying to see if the kwak can be sorted on Sunday.
