Signed up for this today... http://www.bike4lifefest.com Went to that. F**k me, that was a lot of bikes! We had a great time, my daughter was a good pillion and even managed to wave to the many many pedestrians along the route and got a cheeky dab in there, as children ...

... getting there. Now a little about the 1290, it has the KTM bloodline crossed with the genetics of a fire breathing monster. I've been riding liter bikes for about a decade now, but I've never met anything with the midrange of this thing. There was no QS/ blipper on the bike, but that didn't matter ...

Watching and hearing all the bikes out today

and they are probably trying to recoup some money from all the bikes that are being nicked at the moment. Scum are taking over at the moment and the innocent are oaying for it. Im sure i was told if i worked hard and did everything right and on time i would ...

Rode it to the BMW dealer so I could test ride some bikes, all were awesome in different ways but none can replace the MT-10. 8) If only I could make it use less go juice. Then I rode it up to Squires to meet a friend with his new bike, a 2016 Suzuki ...

Think KTM gave a factory in India now and a tie in with a complete any there. May explain some of the quality issues on their cheaper bikes.

I always thought the Superduke and RC8 were well built and their offroaders are very well regarded.

Maybe they knock these out in Thailand (a lot of bikes seem to be these days) and it makes them big profit.

I don't think PCP would be cheaper, it's just like paying rent imo. But it is an option if I'm looking to keep swapping my bikes. No decision, far from it. Test rides will happen after I've moved. The Versys has depreciated massively, it's quite a shock how little it's worth, so I may ...

So the 790, how did it go... With the prediction of summer arriving I had high hopes of a good couple of days blatting about on bikes getting mine serviced. All started well with a good blast on the 990 SDR up to the dealers. These are roads I know well and love, so I turned up with a ...

Got the bike out for an evening ride to the Staffs Ducati Owners club. Had a nice drink, a chat and looked at some nice bikes. Then this older guy wanders over from one of the houses. Turns out he was a mechanic for.race team at the TT in the early eighties. Raced Ducati Pantahs and ...

... if i so wish and i know what that figure is now. You pays your money and makes your choice but without PCP there would be hardly any new cars or bikes being built now.

All of my bikes I've paid for so far. But if I keep the Versys then I'm back to getting a second bike and it'll be the second bike I'll look to change on a regular basis. A brand new bike and I'm paying for the depreciation. Fulll ...

... years) so buying can sometimes be better - used cars are a bargain in the UK currently so am keeping my options open. Is there a deposit on those bikes plus the monthly? Whats the true cost over 2 or 3 years?

... Sourced a replacement tank for half what they where going to charge, and am getting it delivered to them. Then came the news that all the demo bikes are out today and so is the loaner. So I've got the spare loaner, an ER6 (gah) not what you want on the nicest day of the year so far!

... ,panicked today because I just realised my passport has run out ! It’s amazing and just dawned on me this all started after a top day out on the bikes at the silverstone Kawasaki day

... heat in them. I put my hand on the back tyre when i pulled in and they were cooler than they were when i went out. Im gutted for you bones and bikes will fix and heal :-)

... as I have done loads of times , just started to tip it in then next thing I knew BANG and I was down tumbling along the track, I saw a couple of bikes take avoiding action as I tumbled round, luckily one was an instructor and stopped to help. I have an appointment for the fracture clinic next ...

... it for the last couple of weeks, but we decided to ask my daughter if she wanted to come with me. A few years ago she saw a small gathering of bikes turn up at Marham and decided she wanted to go on the back asap. We deemed she was too young just then but I was quite excited about her wanting ...
