    Normandy Invasion

    I did 35k miles on the XT. It is a fantastic bike. my 2014ZE though was starting to show signs of corrosion on the frame around the welds and I suspect the CCT was on it's way out. So I traded it in while it still had some value and before I had to buy a load of parts. This is the VFR1200X I...

    Normandy Invasion

    Day 5 A big day for me. I rode over to a town called St Breiuc on the Western side of france. I found my great uncle is buried there a couple of years ago and wanted to pay him a visit. Colin offered to ride with me until Mont St Michel and then turn off to see it. It was a fairly uneventful...

    Normandy Invasion

    Day 4. The other section of the ugly bunch had arrived. The ‘southern shandy swillers’. A plan was hatched to go to pegasus bridge. It was pissing down but it didn’t stop us. Jaz had a puncture (screw stuck in the tyre) so we had a delay while we lugged it with a kit I’d brought...

    Installed Puig windshield today

    I got the light smoke touring with the Wind deflector a couple of weeks ago. I'm 6'1" and now I don't get any buffeting with the screen in its lowest position. Look good and is nicely made. It's 6" taller than the stock screen but i can still see over it. I've done about 400 miles so far in...

    Anyone else take there 'best friend' with em on the Super T?

    This is not me, but i took the pic. There is a springer that travels in this. I've been looking into doing something like this with my Molly the Collie. I think I'll have a go at building something similar that goes over the rear seat/rack.
