There are many downsides to having just a part-time job but there are also advantages, today I took advantage of not working today and went out for a ride in the snow. The worst part was getting out of Bristol as there was carnage of nearly every hill but eventually I got out to the good...

Im in the process of slowly upgrading my kit. Im after smaller and more lightweight than Ive already got. I currently have the Vango Banshee 300 3 man tent. It has served me well and was bought because of the small pack size and weight only 2.5KG. The only downsides is that it doesnt have a...

I'm thinking of buying either the crampbuster or the scottoiler equivalent for my dad as a gift, especially as we will shortly be doing a stack of miles to and in Poland. So firstly, do they actually work? Any downsides to them (especially safety issues)? Is there is a performance difference...

This was 41.6 miles into my 10 day touring trip around wales and the lake districts that I've oh so desperately been awaiting. Out of the 4 trips on this bike longer than 100 miles, it's come home in a van/AA 3 of those times :rolleyes: Pulled over in a country lane, as I put it on the stand...

This is a replacement wrench following my purchase of a http://www.xrv.org.uk/forums/product-reviews/29313-clarke-3-8-drive-reversible-torque-wrench.html which turned out to be an extremely poor piece of kit so I wasn't going to take any chances so went for the quality end of the spectrum this...

Decided to keep the XL650 for fun trips so now looking for a reasonably priced s/h bike which will be good for long trips and eat the motorway miles. A Caponord turned up locally (low miles/reasonable price) and it looks stunning. Can it do the biz on long trips/all day in the saddle? Emphasis...

There seems to be a bit of a consensus that ABS is a "bad thing" when riding off-road but I have to admit can't really understand why. Now I know there may be times when you may wish to lock up the back wheel if going down hill covered in loose stuff and build up a wedge of muck in-front of it...

I originally bought my Airhawk for the Africa Twin, but just as I ordered it I decided to change to a BMW GS so my Airhawk has been installed on my BMW 1150GS for the last few years. So what's it like..... well it's outstanding. In my opinion of course. I'm well aware that no everyone get's on...

David Silver Spares are selling the oem Africa Twin top box for a reasonable price (compared to Givi, Zega, etc.). Currently I don't have a top box in a bid to try and avoid loading weight high up and that far back. However the extra dry luggage capacity and the comfort of a back pad might help...
