Morrisons have a bottled ale from Adnams called Sole Star, quid a bottle and flavour and body to be amazed at in a beer that is only 2.7%!! :thumbup: Do grab a couple of bottle and keep in the fridge....

I am returning to the UK in two weeks and have found myself making comparisons of where I am now(Spain) and the UK. I took my wife and son to a zoo yesterday, for the entrance price of 30 Euros for the three of us and was amazed at the interaction available. First a honey bear crawling all...

New National Advert, I was sent a link to this by my paragliding buddy, watch out for him about half way through with a mad cow on board. What is happening to the National Trust? I remember blue rinses, suits of armour mouldy furniture and stale biscuits. I had to watch it twice to see if was a...

Hello, For anyone with buffeting or wind noise issues I though I would post a couple of pics of my recently purchased Tranny which I have been spending a bit of cash on to sort out the screen issues and to lower to accommodate my 29" inside leg getting both feet on floor. Firstly the screen, I...

I am not very good at many things and writing up a ride report features pretty high on the list but I thought I’d better say a few words….make sure your PC’s are set on WAPENGLISH…. The Tuscan trip started with bad omens…..I discovered a big nail in the rear tyre the evening before we were due...

I never cease to be amazed at some of the things i read in papers, i know the majority is tripe and rubbish created to boost sale's but this is true and bewildering. The question is should people with mental health be allowed out of secure wards? especially if they are a danger to themselves or...

Sometime during the day I had acquired a nice lump of chewing gum stuck to the right buttock of my jeans , anyhoo some got well and truly glued on the seat of the Vara , I was going to use white spirit to get it off then remembered WD 40 is quite good at that sort of thing. Well! The stuf is...

Hello all from new member OiloWight. Recently purchased a 700 Alp from a low milage user on our beautiful Island. I've graduated from sports tourers because I can't bend my replacement knee as far as the original. Pleased with the golden one overall and amazed that in standard trim from the...

While at the NEC bike show ,I went to the HONDA stand and was amazed, there was NO Transalp. The Head Honcho there told us that due to the Transalp not meeting the EU Emissions , the TRANSALP will cease production. I cant believe the bike that started the adventure touring scene will no...

Any comments from Jaqueslemac, SteveT or Cookingfat about idiots on Transalps in french carparks should be discounted right now.... :rolleyes: Watch and be amazed at how dangerous those panniers can be in the wrong hands! Danger

I am amazed just how many at's are in ayia Napa! I must have seen ten different ones in two days! And I also talked to a guy that owns a bike shop and just sold his at and has a perfectly restored old Honda mb80! I will post pics when I am back home.

we went to the Auvergne last year but due to various circumstances we missed out on most of what we’d planned to do, so we went back this year. I actually have very few pics to go with this, which is a shame cos the scenery is stunning & the roads wonderful, but this lot are not into photos &...

Hi all, just a quick note to say that I fitted a K&N air filter on the bike the other day and was amazed at the noticeable difference across the whole rev range! I ended up going from bristol to abergavenny oasis cafe as I was having so much fun!!! I thought I may need to do some jetting but it...

May be of interest to @ owners - it's 10 years ago today I picked up my new @ from my local Honda dealer, Kent Motorcycles near Canterbury. What are my thoughts on @ ownership over this time? Well, it's been a happy relationship with the bike proving reliable and extremely durable over the...

hi, after only covering just over 200 miles on my latest transalp, my last couple of bikes have had lower riding positions. I feel that the TA , is a little top heavy and seat height , well, borderline for me, ( feet down but not flat), some cambers have nearly caught me out...

Finally, after 10 years & 40k miles, my @'s OE silencer fell apart due to rusting where clamped to the collector. As a replacement, and due to the OE's prohibitive cost, I bought a Remus Revolution silencer plus link pipe which seems nicely made and fits well. Being E-marked, it's road legal but...

Yesterday I received a text from Mike inviting me to join him for an evening trail ride around my local area in North Wales. Seemed a slendid idea, being that I'd just finished patch painting my AT following my spill a few weeks ago, & fitted a replacement screen ( Thanks to Stormforce8 for the...

Well it came to renewal time once again and the squabble began between Carol Nash and Swinton over who was better. Each told me of the 'only' insurance available which was Equity Red Star etc and how the planet is mis aligned causing a 30% increase in their desire to own a Ferrari errr insurance...
