Tales of woe! Trike MOTs and Braking Efficiency

Having been unable to ride my trike for three weeks now I was really looking forward to going to collect it from a Yorkshire based Goldwing dealer, where it has been having the works done to the brakes to pass the MOT.

The dealer does not have the facilities to test trikes and has to … Read the rest

Thundersprint Visit 10th May 2009

I have just returned from an excellent day at Northwich, the 2009 Thundersprint.

This event is a free event set-up to attract many motorcyclists to the Town Centre where there is a Parade and then the Thundersprint itself.

This is an arena where there is a short circuit set up for famous and not so … Read the rest

Llandudno Victorian Extravaganza and the Transport Festival 2009

I went to Llandudno to drop the Mother -in-Law off yesterday, Saturday 2nd May. I had to go in the car as she didn’t fancy being a pillion passenger on the trike. In fact she has never been on a bike or a trike in her life and at 80 plus she says she doesn’t … Read the rest

A Scooter Rally – Something Different

Sunday 26th April 2009 – A day to remember for me – I actually allowed Nigel to persuade me to tag along on my trike on a Scooter Rally.

Nigel, being an ex-mod in the dim and distant past, has fond memories of smelly two stroke exhaust fumes and Lambretta Scooters, in particular, an  SX200.… Read the rest

Monthly Ride – April Meeting day

We managed to have a very interesting day today with the ride which I led. We didn’t do an exotic route or a very long distance one.  – Mold to Bala, Bala to Oswestry and back home.

We started off with the monthly meeting at the Beaufort Park Hotel which was at the new summer … Read the rest

PMR radios – For use on a Wing

I have been wondering now for some time about trying out PMR radio for use on the Wing.

I have seen comments for and against PMR radio on motorcycle forums and there does appear to be truth in the old saying ‘You get what you pay for’, which translates to ‘The most expensive the radio … Read the rest

We had another fantastic run last Sunday 5th April when we took part in the RAFA Wings Egg Run Appeal. Nigel, Joanna, Stevie CP, Janet and I attended at the RAFA Club, Wrexham where we met up with Dave, a Harley rider (until he sees the error of his ways). This was one of five … Read the rest

The Wirral Egg Run 2009

Well another Egg Run over and done with, but by no means forgotten, without a doubt the biggest one I have seen and so other have said as well.

The Liverpool Daily Post headline “A total of 10,000 bikers took part in the Wirral Egg Run, which took riders on a 20-mile cruise around the … Read the rest

Ride-out – Sunday 15th March – to Betws

What a cracking day we had for our ride-out! The weather gods smiled upon us and allowed us to come out and play on the Wings.

We started out at the Beaufort following our monthly meeting which I kept short deliberately as there was a large contingent of GNWest riders who had come for a … Read the rest

Kevin and Sandra’s Silver Wedding Do

Mr’ Butty Box’ Kevin Edwards and his camera shy misses Sandra had a bit of a do on Saturday Night.

Several Goldwingers were invited – in fact, everyone in Goldwings North Wales and some Cheshire Wingers were invited, along with some others who didn’t manage to make it. I can only say it was their … Read the rest
