Re: Return of the R1200S
I like the look of the retro air/oil cooled R12S, I'm sure it would be comfy for me, but won't replace my R1250RS for one. Nowhere to put the Mrs, not sure they will sell many, [ Saw that - and HGV increasing to 60 if I'm not mistaken :shock: Currently the A9 is the only single carriageway in Scotla...

Re: Return of the R1200S
What's the point spending on a new motorcycle ..... 50 mph BLANKET speed limit coming to Scotland, only way the government can address the deaths on the A9 since they can't afford to dual it.

Re: Moto GP starting to rekindle the fire
But what about today ....
The most ridiculous start for MM93, skidding on his own tear off, dropping eight places, coming back to win. A good watch on the tele this morning.

Re: Great Orme tramway
Is it possible to get lost going up or around the Great Orme? I’m intrigued! :lol: A large number of us managed it on last year's Welsh ride out. Someone made a mistake and everyone followed. On coming cars on the road coming down, fortunately there wasn't a tram coming so the bikes used the tramwa...

Great Orme tramway
On tv tonight Gareth Edwards went up the Great Orme tramway.
It was quite dull really, he used the tram ...... He did not ride a motorcycle up the tram way ......

alright .... eventually
The MV has only done 550 miles since its last MOT / Service so I thought I would put it direct to MOT ...... It Failed. Rear brake was too soft. So I brought it home and researched how to remove the petrol tank as this is a necessary precursor to accessing the brake reservoir behind the engine, next...

Portimao MotoGP
Jenny and I have been fortunate to be able to support Gresini at seven MotoGP now over the last few years in our quest to visit as many circuits as we can. This year we made it to Portimao in the Algarve. Over the years the Gresini line up has evolved to be so much more competitive, with Aprilia (Al...

Re: MotoGP
Phil Liberty will definitely make changes that's for sure, more American participation will be interesting but it takes a long time to develop the talent. I can only imagine F1 and bikes at the same meeting being viable at Silverstone as it already has two pits. Change will be slow. But as for Pedro...
