    Winter meet

    Anyone fancy a winter meet? I can do either of the last two weekends in November (Sat 18th or 25th). I am happy to try to organise something down south, or maybe north Norfolk, if people are up for it. Or I am happy to come bit further north if anyone knows of a suitable place.

    Royal wedding alternative rideout

    Not being a royalist, during the last Royal wedding I was out on my bike and discovered that nearly everyone in Kent was either at home or in a marquee on the village green or the back garden of the local pub celebrating. It meant the roads were clear and the ride was bliss. So this year I...

    loose bearings

    The wheel bearings on my rear simply do not fit snugly. Is there anything I can do, short of ditching the hub and getting a new one? I bought the hub secondhand and had the wheel built. The bearings have gone a couple of times over the 13,000 miles but recently it has got worse and worse, such...

    court case to watch

    Hoping for a big sentence. Minicab driver with a passenger but on the phone too, killed a biker. The prosecutor requested that the matter be heard at the crown court due to 'the manner of the driving'. 'With all those factors, I submit that this offence could attract a sentence beyond the...

    New Africa Twin in Weston Beach race

    Sadly I am not around but I'd like to see this. That is a hell of a challenge. I think Mudwiz did it one year. http://www.visordown.com/motorcycle-new ... beach-race

    Summer gear/winter gear

    Last Saturday I was thinking it was definitely the end of the summer. I was zipping up vents in my summer gear and considering another layer. So this Saturday just gone when I woke up and it was raining, I thought it was pukka winter gear time. And I was warm and toasty, setting off at 8am down...

    I hope this muppet gets/was jailed

    First he knocks the block off his bike then he threatens a witness, kicking him, then he refused to exchange insurance details and drives off. http://www.idiotukdriversexposed.com/ca ... e-details/

    Tomtom Rider experience?

    In the market for a replacement Sat Nav and called Garmin to check if the later models have enough memory and can cope with European maps. Because they are designed for the US they cannot cope with Europe. My Garmin 660 had just 4gb of internal memory so could not take the European maps. Nor...

    rear tyres need a good home

    While pottering I realised I have a couple of rear tyres I have no use for. There is a 140/80-18 Mitas E07, almost immaculate. These are great all round tyres that last ages but the one downside is they're not as good as softer tyres on tarmac in the wet. IMG_0789 by Chris Wheal, on Flickr The...

    Man down - rubberchicken

    Vader had a text saying he'd binned it. He's in an ambulance on the way to Colchester hospital with a broken arm we think. Pete is on his way over there now. I am delaying departure to the National in case I need to take the van over to pick up his bike, though he reckons it's totalled. He'll...
