Yorkshire family of motorcyle racers/dealers. He raced for Honda, raced the Britten V1000 etc. They lived the life, told about being p...

Good luck with change in lifestyle Tony. Your post made me think about how my try at retirement worked out. I left work to retire in 2019 got my work pension and treated myself to a Benelli Tornado Tre. 1 month later hospitalised with Guillain Barre Syndrome. Unable to walk or dress myself etc. had ...

Welcome DJ from another ZZR1400 & VTR1000 owner

I'm getting lazy, I booked for a mobile bike valeting guy (Grant Webster, Wheelie Clean)to come and clean the zzr1400 in January (not cleaned it all year).

Good read Al & Tony , enjoy reading about trips

Thanks Tony. Road improvements were one of the benefits of oil industry there.

Not been to the TT yet, I'd like to go. Hope I get weather like you guys did if I end up going. Enjoyed seeing pictures of your time there. I am going to Simmer Dim rally on Shetland tomorrow and I seem to have got lucky on weather there. Never been to a bike rally before. Seems to involve a lot of ...

Not sold, maybe it'll be back with more realistic price
