Hairy bikers show have interviewed his majesty BBC iPlayer - Hairy Bikers' Best of British: Series 2: Islands

Having been a member of this site for a few years and attended a few of the Nationals I needed to think about why I had four bikes in two different countrys,I just couldn`t justify keeping them serviced,motd,taxed and insured so I have just sold the last one,in 2012 I rode the Ducati 4 times and...

Hi All, What a shame I have just read today the 2012 ride has been cancelled, what a shame. The 2011 ride was the first ride we have attended and was awesome! Was really looking forward to this one. Hopefully there will be another ride next year. I am still going to do Land's End to John...

Any one booking a holiday here this year or already has booked one may think again bit of bad news. Wife was at work today,at an industrial estate in Falmouth around midday the air was stinking in smoke and it filled Falmouth. Apparently on the 3rd floor a fire broke out over 100 fire fighters...

A brief history behind the event. Those of you who attended will know what a great time we had at last years event; born from a meeting of XRV and ABR forum members, we all camped at Applewood camp and caravan park, Banham NR16 2HE for a great weekends riding and camping...

Maybe a little early................but what the hell It's been a mixed year, but on the whole pretty good - after a rough start last Xmas My second full year of self employment has seen me with enough work to allow me to do the things that I enjoy and pay the bills..........so i'm grateful for...

Not an XRV event, but I thought I'd pop a ride report in anyway . . . The Highland ABR Simmer Rally at Ullapool started on Thursday 22nd September when several intrepid travellers got there ahead of the main gaggle of riders. I rode up early on Friday morning to find that one had already left...

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as: Knowing when to...

I've just had this email requesting help for making our wonderful government aware that the ramblers association are not the only vested interest group. I know thers one or two off roaders on here. :rolleyes: So thought I'd post it up just in case you don't already know about it. Please see...

Firstly I would like to thank all those who participated in any way to the organization of this years event, I think that all the riders had a good weekend and from chatting to some of the non-XRV riders our total count in fund raising could be quite a bit more than I was expecting. We set a...

Two BMW R 1200 R riders set off from the Avebury stone circle in Wiltshire on the first stage of their 4,500-mile charity ride to Nordkapp in Norway, the most northern point of Europe, deep within the Arctic Circle. Neil Hardman, 37, a police traffic motorcyclist, and Dave Smith, 52, from the...

Yes, it is true, I forget about this Forum until I get an email telling me someone has posted to a long forgotten topic. I wondered why that was as I am a little more active on a couple of other biking forums. I have come to the conclusion that it is an age thing. Most of the contributors...

My new bike is looking a bit plain Jane as apart from the XRV and Wolfpack stickers there aren't any. What about a Piel Island sticker? Is there any call for one? I reckon as it was so well attended it certainly counts as an official xrv do and I bet some of the more artistic here could come up...

hello, my AT seems to have a compuslive affinity for problems these days...I dunno if it is the alignment of the stars or too much attantion spoiling the brat So now the engine occasionally shuts off when I put the first grear on and release the clutch and ....thats it. Then I start the...
