Got some plastics that are bit faded and marked i read somewhere about bringing them back but can't find it now any suggestions :thumb:

I ran into and ultimately bought a '95 Africa Twin while in Mexico. Seems to be in great shape with a little over 50K on the clock. Great riding bike and fun to explore Mexico. Would like to spend some money on suspension and such, but need to know if I can take it back to the States when I...

Took a little run out with AfricaJim this morning, both of us on F650’s. Jim needed to reacquaint himself with his ‘Ickle Beemer, seeing as he’d not ridden it since March of this year. Went looking for dirt and found a few tracks. 1st off this abandoned cottage next to the upper reaches of the...

Seeing as i don't particulary enjoy m'cyling that much now, and the National for me, is about the People, not the Bikes. I was wondering if anyone fancied bringing their mtb along , and riding the excellent Trails at Coed y Brenin or Penmachno on the Saturday instead.

Here's a brain dump of things to say that I didn't know when I sent the booking forms out, so take note at the back.... When you get to the Llyn Gwynant site you need to book in at reception and say you are part of the XRV National Meet. You obviously don't need to pay again as you have already...

Either to race or to watch? See, I'm after a hand with getting enough petrol there to see me through the night! Some water may be handy too... If anyone is, and they'd fancy bringing a 5l can of petrol with them, or a pint or 2 of water I'd love it!! I'll be the tired chap on the white '87...

Hello again! Warning -- this thread is VERY picture heavy! Yesterday after enjoying dinner at my moms, she asked if I could get her some trout for todays dinner. I can't say no to that! I called up my good friend Jonny and asked if he wanted to go fishing in Sanddalsvatnet in Myklebust valley...

This is bound to come up, so I thought I would get in first before the tide of 'This country's going to the dogs!' and 'Judges are soft in the head!'. Wayne Bishop is a single parent bringing up five children. How many readers would be capable of that? With a couple of mates, he broke into a...

Carried out a functional check of my knee today after giving it a serious twist whilst on holiday week before last . . . . . . . by going for a 200 mile ride into the Highlands on the Vara. Headed for Fort Augustus via numerous back roads (just to avoid the “A” roads). Most of the roads...

The Scottish Forestry Commission have now confirmed that they are OK for us to ride the bikes through the Galloway forest again. The dates will be meet on Friday 29th (this is a bank holiday for the Royal Wedding), ride through the forest on Forestry Tracks on Saturday and make our way home on...

I go a high level system for my Ural. It is made for the bike, but there is a danger of a pillion's leg getting burnt if not careful, so I want to buy some of that fibreglass strip that can be wrapped around the pipe work, to insulate from injury. My Dad would be buying it and bringing it...

Anyone interested in adding an XRV presence to this event: Christmas Toy Run I'll be taking Nessie and bringing up the rear end, if the roads are ridable early December :thumbup:

Hi All, I’m getting loads of emails asking ‘what's happening at the ‘Tortillas to Totems’ Launch @ the Ace Café next weekend?’ :thumbright: So I thought I’d pop up a post. Here goes… If people get there early enough they can treat themselves to one of the Ace Cafe's famous breakfasts! I shall...

Today Honda is to relaunch its CRF450X and CRF250X for 2011 with new Honda Racing graphics and has given the CRF100F “a substantial makeover, bringing its image closer to its big brother, the CRF450R”. It too has Honda Racing colours and graphics, but also a new rear fender shape...

Having had a change in circumstances which meant I got an extra two months in the sunny UK, as well as being unable to sell my bike for (what I determined to be) a reasonable price, I decided to reward myself with a ride from London up through Wales and around Scotland. As I'd never been before...
