a motorcycle journey
A long time being talked about, finally got the ferry booked to go to Arran. It didn't disappoint, it turned our to be a nice sunny day, and because it was during the week, it was pretty quiet too. Once off the ferry we headed south to Lamlash, a small village that has beautiful views... Continue Reading →
The world of scooters have taken a surprising turn, for years they have remained the same formula, urban, with a hint of super sport (if in colour only). Over the years they have only changed in size, with some companies bringing out larger engines. Now Honda have broken all the rules and made a adventure... Continue Reading →

A nice sunny, warm day in March? can't pass up a chance to clean the cobwebs off my bike. This is the first time this year, so it's the "start of the season", thought I'd just go a wee run round the block, try and re-acquire some skills I have forgotten since the last time... Continue Reading →

Yamaha had the new bikes on display including the new XJR1300 & XJR1300 racer. also on display was the V-max (celebrating 30 years) and looking mean, the excellent custom styled XV950 R, a special...

Honda are breaking the mould of bike design, recently they have introduced the GL1800 F6B, which is a lighter version of the Goldwing, and the CTX1300, which is a striped down tourer, similar to the pan european. But now the have added a new bike to the custom section, and you could be forgiven for thinking... Continue Reading →
