Yep, the S10 has gone today after exactly two happy years. It has been replaced with a Triumph Rocket 3 Touring. I just fancied a change of genre having ridden adventure bikes for the last 18 years. I have to say the Rocket is an absolute hoot to ride and is way more agile than you would think.

Sadly Ian Bell of Ian Bell Motorcycles, Bedlington was tragically killed today during the Sidecar 2 race at the isle of Man TT. Ian was racing with his son Carl as passenger who escaped the incident unharmed. I bought my first ever road legal bike from Ian at the tender age of 16 (an SS50 Honda)...

Being the lucky lad that I am myself & the Mrs are off to Florence for the week, which just so happens to coincide with the Moto GP at Mugello. We're flying not riding down and plan to get the train up to the track so I was wondering if anyone else has done that ? Any tips for hassle free travel...

Yes, I'm having fun & frolic's with the muppets at the DVLA, again... This time they've cancelled my ownership of the S10 and sent me a cheque for the road tax outstanding. Ever since I put my private plate on it from my former Merc' it's gone 'udders skywards'. So as a result of their bungling...

Crikey, it's blaain' a hooley here in Northumberland, my garden furniture is scattered across three postcodes ! Looks a lot worse elsewhere with trees down, electricity off and a ferry unable to dock at 'ull. I hope everyone's OK ?

OK folks simple question - who's yer money of for Superbowl 50 ? I was impressed with the Bronco's defense as they effectively neutralized the Patriot's offence - no mean feat. It's been a while since Tom Brady has looked so flustered. On the other side of the coin the Panther offense looked...

Just made a red-hot chilli con carne for tonight's evening meal, which has come out very tasty if I say so myself. I then made the schoolboy error of rubbing my eyes before washing my hands after chopping two scotch bonnet chilli's - aaargghh !!! I've washed my eye's out with the solution from...

Yep, I've just turned 50 today ! Last time I looked I was a sprightly 20 something and now I'm 50, where did it go ? The flip side is for my birthday the Mrs has organised a trip to Italy next year so we can watch the Moto GP at Mugello, which is nice. So far it's the only highlight I can see...

Blue one spotted on Friday the 3rd heading North out of Morpeth with a low sports screen - anyone on here ?

See item below for recall details. lets hope it doesn't affect anyone on here... http://brokenworldnews.com/2015/04/24/harley-davidson-recalls-nearly-one-million-motorcycle-riders/

Sadly on Tuesday evening I got my left knee down - by falling down the steps to my bungalow (yes, the irony a bungalow with steps...) ! I knew I'd given it a fair old clatter at the time and sat with it elevated and iced for the rest of the evening. I thought it may have been a bit better...

Yep, 2 British winners today from the Circuit of the Americas in Texas - Danny Kent in the Moto 3 and Sam Lowes in the Moto 2. I simply can not remember the last time we had two Brit' winner in a day ? Dominating World Superbikes at the moment too, it's a golden age for British bike racing. Now...

Hi folks, has anyone got the standard exhaust shroud that covers the stock silencer they would like to off load to me ? Ideally in the dark grey/black/charcoal (or whatever colour it is) to fit a 2010/2013 model. I will accept another colour if I'm stuck. Ta, Bryan. P.S. I'm in the UK but it...

OK folks, who's in for a run out and meet ? I'll tailor the route to suit who's coming and where they are from and if anyone want's to stop over I'm sure I could recommend some accommodation. Just throwing a date out there to gauge some interest but how about either Saturday the 18th or/and...

It's nearly Superbowl time and my personal preparations are going well for the 23:30 kick off time in the UK. I've gotten some extra sleep in (right through Arsenal's 5-0 thrashing of Aston Villa), I've just made a screaming hot chilli (Naga's, gotta love em) and the fridge is full of Peroni...

OK folks just for fun - who's gonna win Superbowl XLIX ;D

Does anyone know if the silver paint that the top yoke and handlebar clamps are painted on my 2013 is available anywhere ? I only ask as I would like to paint my handlebar spacers to match (a bit better).

This Christmas we've decided to go away from home for a change. We're staying with some family up the coast in the village of Bamburgh in Northumberland. Now some of the UK folks will have heard of Bamburgh, some may not and I'm fairly sure you fine folk on the other side of the Atlantic will...

I was watching the news today and they cut over to the USA where they interviewed a few motorists as fuel was under $2 per gallon. I've noticed in the UK that fuel has steadily been creeping downwards (£1.19 per litre locally) is this the same across the whole of the US and Canada ? Is it still...
