Have just got back from a great weekend in Birmingham/Solihull. Anyone else going/been? What has been your highlight? I enjoyed the MT-10, some think its ugly but it has a robotic charm to it. The Africa-twin is really ugly in the flesh but fits in with the majority of the adventure...

Hey, all packed and ready to go there tomorrow for a long weekend starting with day of champions tomorrow then the 3 race days. First time at Silverstone so looking forward to it and going to try and not spend too much money on the charity auction tomorrow!

Wanting to get my girlfriend into bikes I went out and bought her this 07 YBR. Solid condition, light surface rust to be expected but full service history and plenty of parts replaced in april this year - the owner hadn't planned on selling until a week ago when he bought a Diverson (FZ6R) on...

Signed up for this today, its all for the Air Ambulance, ride out in the day and a festival at a RAF museum in the afternoon should be a good day out in 2 weeks for anyone in the Midlands. Rideout starts at Shrewsbury up to Cosford, £5 to enter the rideout, free entry to the festival/museum...

Moving up to a newer model as the CB should be delivered to me in a week or so. Already had a play with one, it's a small big bike. Never had a proper time with a naked, MT09 test ride the last time before that. Will post pictures when it's arrived, my plan is to sell the FZ6 shortly after to...

A question aimed at the naked all year riders (with cold winters), how much of a difference would you say that a full fairing actually makes? I'm looking to upgrade to something around the litre mark and there are some nice street fighters that im considering - CB1000R, Z1000 etc (forgive...

Did anyone manage to go to Birmingham in the past week? I went on the opening day last Saturday and had a good day looking at everything, sitting on everything, getting as many freebies as I could and most importantly - I didn't impulse buy anything I didn't need! Had a package deal with a...

So, to start on Monday just setting off from work and shifting up through 2nd then into 3rd the clutch cable snapped right a the lever - which was a learning experience to try and deal with and an horriffic sound from stalling the bike in that gear as I came to a safe stop. Had a new one...

Just collected this from a dealer who ordered it in for me and rode it home for 8 miles. For anyone who is familiar with the Spada Sting it's a new version of that. I saw them for sale on a few sites, but for the life of me haven't been able to find a single review for it. It's the adventure...

So I took the bike in for my first service since buying it almost 8 months ago (4k miles ago). Had a few things done to her I knew it needed, like new pads, new tyres and the a new throttle close cable put on after I broke it last week. After the service though, I was advised that there was a...

So did anyone visit this year? I went yesterday on the last day - had a good mooch around sitting on all the many possibilities for my next bike. Really impressed with the mt-09 any some of the options it can come with, nice and comfy. Best part about the last day of the show is the...

Just won on ebay the hyperpro spring and a pre-shorted side stand for the bargain price of £46 ($60) I work as secondard school teacher (high school) and I use the DT workshop for when I do servicing etc on the bike. My question is, as it is just the spring, without a genuine compressor can...

I picked up a branded Yamaha Jacket for a steal from eBay which turned up in pretty much brand new condition. Good armour fitting throughout, although I may swap it out for my knox armour from another jacket as it doesn't seem to be CE rated. I can't find any details about the jacket and...

Started feeling it. Temp said 6 degrees this morning! Thick fog, wet roads. Cold rain is predicted until about March and after a hitting oil on a roundabout and not noticing until I accelarated off and the back wheel went for a slip and slide at fifty it's time to change to my 'winter riding...

Ok, so my only track of the season this year was a washout at RAF Waddington. 1 full session, then complete downpour on the second resulting in me coming off the track (not off the bike tho). Next Saturday is RAF Shawbury hosting their first ever track day. Track looks pretty fast...

http://imageshack.us/a/img560/3280/cimg2954u.jpg It features single breasted, 3 button feature with optional extra of a bow tie. Sadly I never got a pic of me on the bike with it but the boots should be a giveaway - I'm wearing full bike gear underneath. I bought it off eBay for £1 (yes...

Mashed up a video using footage from my mates GoPro that both he (on a Triumph Speed Trip 1050) and I wore riding the soggy track day at RAF Waddington, Lincolnshire. RAF Waddington Riding Day - YouTube

They have to call it a 'riding day', but its the same deal. Rode it 2 years ago on my GSXF and its the smoothest surface ever - it is an active runway afterall! I was murdered by the supersport 600s last year, but I'm sure the r6 herritage will let me keep up and compete. As you can...

Looking into getting some panniers, I'm trying to figure out which givi rack I have on my bike. I've decided its not for the e35 boxes because they are straight and don't curve. My problem is buying something on eBay then turning up to take them home only to find they don't fit and having...

I picked up a bellypan from ebay, apparantly its a genuine Yamaha. It doesn't come with fittings, because you use the bolts at the very bottom of the engine (just under the bottom of the headers). That's straightforward. What isn't is the fact that these bolts would of more than likely...
