Re: What did you do to your bike today ??

Fabulous day out riding the 698 in Welsh Wales. Some cracking new roads found, back roads made for the bike, not much traffic. Happy days.

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??

IMG_6091.jpeg But slow on updating here but a few weeks ago sold two bikes and bought one. There is now a Ducati Hypermotard 698 in my garage, which was a demo bike. Only a few rides so far but getting used to the foibles of a very focussed type of bike. Fun is at the very top of its agenda, being ...

Gene Hackman - RIP

Great great actor - RIP. Sounds like it was a suicide pact with his wife.

Saw a photo of him a few weeks ago, he didn't look a well man.
