Is this acceptable to all other attendees, if not, it's not a problem, thank you.

Don't think it's been an issue at previous meets.

Never mind the route, where are we having dinner?

Lucky bugger … where you off 😎 4 day bimble round the Ardennes. Staying in Givet. A hotel next to the restaurant that myself, Michael and Simbo went to on last years european RT ride out. They'll probably remember it as the place that I chucked my toys out of the pram because they stopped serving l...

Sat at the tunnel, 3 to 5 hour delay. Cars everywhere as the carpark is full.

Loads of stuff on the interweb about these scams.

Thought you were considering NT1100?

I still am but the local Honda dealer weren't remotely interested in part- exing my 50k RT. So I'm sitting on the fence regarding my next bike purchase.

R 1300 R, (not R1300RT) premieres in 24 hrs on BMW utube site, hope it hasnt been hit with their ugly stick . Motorcycle.com have said last month, all three models (r1300rt, r1300rs and r1300r) confirmed coming out 2026. BMW new stock is now only showing 9 models UK, from 21 for the last few months...

So i went to town today to pop into Timsons to get a second key cut for the top box. The guy in the shop said that they did not have any blanks for that key. I said if i get a blank myself At around £10, how much to cut a key. His reply was £20 to cut it. So i told him i can buy a new lock with 2 k...

Drifted down to The Classic Motorhub near Cirencester to meet a relative that's just put his classic racing car up for sale there.
Brilliant place to visit, or even buy if you've got a spare £100000 to spend .

Managed to get out for an hour today, the new ( used) boots are a bit disappointing, a little tight around the ankles but very hard to change gear getting them to bend to get my toes under and over the lever, do these Daytona boots loosen up at all ?, also no real feel for the lever either and noti...

Got a "free" overnight stay courtesy of Hotels.com. So took a trip over to Aberystwyth. Stop in Rhayader for a bowl of lamb cawl. 20250314_135331.jpg with chips. Got to Aberystwyth and had a beer on the pier. 20250314_154702~2.jpg Highlight was a lunch stop on the way back in Aberaeron. 20...

This is no way my subject but this is what I think is possible. The longer we live the more disease we get.
This may be totally crap.

Got to agree.

@MikeS Have you tried any other stealers to see what PX they would offer you on a bike the same value as the NT1000. I took a test ride on a F900XR at Warwick BMW and they said that they'd give me a part ex value if i wanted to order the 2025 model. Unfortunately it just felt too small so i didnt t...

£2000 for a 2019 bike is a joke. When I test rode a Harley Street glide, the mileage didn't matter. Mine is 07 with scratches and bumps and they offered me £3500. This is a lot more than I paid for her. Oh she has done around 635000 miles on the clock. The HD dealer exspected higher mileage due to ...
