Besides the great countryside it's one of my favs from Ronnie Lane and Pete Townshend on the album Rough Mix. That's Eric Clapton by the way on the dobro. :) RIP Ronnie Lane who passed away in '97. So...where is this? It looks like a nice area to ride. Hopefully it has not changed much...

Looks like last years thread was popular so think I'll start this years if no one else has, regards from Sweden :thumbup: Been out for a few rides already this year... Ride both the AT and Harley and just recently a Harley buddy of mine got the AT bug too and bought himself one so today we...

My RD 07 has 35 w / 35 w halogen bulbs. Is this the standard factory rated bulb?Is it possible to install 55 w / 65 w bulbs without any issues (heat damage etc)? Thanks. Africa Queen RD 07 - Exploring the countryside of Sri Lanka, A Land Like No Other.

What is the connection between motorcycles and airplanes? Growing up with a father who was fascinated by both, my youth was spent scouring the countryside for dusty barn finds, spinning a greasy wrench and flying, in the air and on the ground, wind in my face. It seemed that most of my dad's...

Morning all! It's taken me a while to actually get round to posting my pictures, have been keeping track of the forum for about 3 months...! (Especially like that midlands to Malta thread, what an inspiration!) I passed my test on the 2nd December, then got my TA on the 8th. I'm not all that...

Signing up Hello and welcome to the annual ATR Thetford Safari; starting with the important formalities which follows the usual MO, anyone who would like to attend please add their name to the list below indicating how many people will be attending, eg:- MrX +1 = 2 people, plus whether they'd...

Here's a thing.... fancy sharing your best / favourite roads with others? Just a daft idea so folks in your area can try them out :) I'll start.... From Newcastle, take the A696 to Ponteland, ride thought the village to Belsay. Stop at the old Post Office for a coffee and chat to other bikers...

Just another day in the life of your average AT...YEP! It's still rolling around the swedish countryside on a mainly day to day basis doing mundane duties but at it's best when turning down unknown and new forest tracks (to me anyways)..that's what I call a fun bike :thumbup:

Last weekend I was fortunate enough to enjoy a day in the company of MotoScotland and below is my take on the days events. As the dramatic Argyll countryside rolled by the car window the temptation to stop and wait to see the sunrise was almost too much to bear but I was a man on a mission and...

First race last weekend - the Hafren rally in Wales - a grade 4 (out of 5) on the difficulty scale. A 210km mixture of tight enduro sections and flat out fire road in the beautiful Welsh countryside ... t'was great fun and the old girl made a good account of herself. The suspension mods and...

Thought I would go for a ride out this afternoon on my own. I decided to take a ride round the local area. I went through Wantage and up to White Horse Hill. If any of you have been here you will know that the views are fantastic over the beautiful Oxfordshire Countryside. I took a few snaps...

Havent seen another thread (so if there is one please direct me to it!!!). Anyone up for a Trail ride on Saturday 7th? Ive done the Dales only once before and there are some cracking lanes. Unfortunately a lot have been closed over the years so there may be a bit of road work involved to form a...

I seen one just like it red same seat the lot maybe the same bike ? parked on the street in Dagenham around 20 years ago and I cant ever remember seeing a more beautyfull looking bike on paper screen or in the metal . from what I have read about them they were the best parrale twin of the 70's...

Cheers everyone, having travelled through Eastern Europe last year, we have on rather short notice kicked the idea to ride to Turkey because it will be too hot for the kids riding pillion (we had 40 degrees in Romania last year already). So it´s Britannia this year, three weeks from around 15...

Being the nice guy I am :iconbiggrin: and being as you @ owners seem like a a reasonable bunch thought I'd just pass out an invitation for using my place as a base or springboard to those of you who are passing through or want to visit Sweden on your @'s ..free accomodation of course,just buy...

I have just degreased my o-ring chain and decided it might not be a bad idea to replace it as the teeth on the front sprocket look a bit stretched. It has a 15T front and a 45T rear sprocket. Would it perform better or worse if I went with a 47T on the rear? What do you guys prefer, o-ring or...

I do hope that you enjoy reading the following as much as I am writing and recalling what was a fabulous weekend. Firstly thank you. A big thank you to the ATR team for organizing everything, Dan and Tom for the trail rides, and booking the site, plus Dan's BBQ, also thank you to Graham...

Now over in this part of the world where motorcycling and road racing border on being a religion it's long been known that in certain parts of the countryside enthusiastic collectors have all sorts of bikes tucked away in various sheds and workshops some of which make appearances at classic...

Don't really think this counts as a "ride report" (more like a progress report) so mods feel free to move if I've got it wrong. As some will know, despite passing my bike test last autumn I've gone through something of a confidence crisis after parking my first big bike Morag horizontally on a...

On the Friday just gone Sean and I met up at Rykas for a short bimble on the bikes. Getting my bike out the garage wasn't easy (bit like an ice rink by the garage door) and it did dawn on me that riding when it was icy and frosty perhaps wasn't my brightest idea. This thought was compounded by...
