How do you upstage 10 Goldwing solos, 3 Trikes and a combination fully polished and on a static display? Dead easy as it turns out.

It was a serious problem which caused Frank and Maggie McArdle to stop their GoldWing in North Wales on their way back from Italy to N. Ireland – all the electrics had gone with no power at all. Frank tried one or two tips he had been given to try and resolve the issue but … Read the rest
Jan and I recently came back from a very successful trip to the Mosel Valley in Western Germany, accompanied by 9 other GoldWings of 2 and 3 wheel persuasion.

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
It is about time that this weather went away and the council stopped gritting the roads with that ‘horrible stuff’ they use now.
The gritter-wagons seem to be spreading a new type of salt that sets just like concrete if you give it a chance to dry on your bike. Even when still wet it … Read the rest
It would appear that these Northern Englanders don’t have toast with their breakfast! – how do I know? Because in the famous words of Max Boyce – ‘ I was there’.
Jan and I headed up the motorway at 8am this morning to see if the hospitality of The Swallow Hotel was all it was … Read the rest
