600 Alp - Loaded test run Well, after over 400 miles since yesterday morning, I think I can safely say that the 21 year old Alp is fairly sorted. Took a 120 mile run over to the Red Squirrel camp site at Glencoe Saturday morning and met up with a fellow Alp rider. Red Squirrel camp site...

Have a '95 RD07 I picked up 2 years ago for visiting coffee plantations and off-road in SE Asia and have been upgrading and modifying it from the crap state I purchased it in and recently I got it to a near "finished project" save for some farkles I have sitting on the shelf. But recently I...

My forks, well one stanchion, have developed a small leak. I obviously need to fit some new seals so once I've moved house in Summer and have a garage, sorry workshop, at last then I will be stripping and servicing them. Whilst they are in bits I thought that I may as well get the lowers...

Hello everyone, New member here looking for an Africa Twin. I am hoping to find a good condition bike with reasonable mileage. Condition more important than exact model, colour etc. Based on the south coast U.K. in the New Forest but am happy to travel for the right bike. Many thanks.

Good condition. Lower than the standard one. I'd like £160 collected from Epping forest or £175 and I'll get a courier to deliver it. Thanks for looking

Hello, A couple of years ago (or more), I remember I promised you this video and I'm finally here to deliver! The 42nd Traverse is likely the best adventure ride in our North Island (New Zealand) and the track is named because it traverses State Forest 42. It's a beautiful place to be and is...

Riding the Hellas Rally on the Africa Twin It might not yet look like it in our development workshop, but it'll soon be showing us just what it can do: Touratech is going on the Hellas Rally (8-16 May) on this Africa Twin, which is being converted to a rally bike. With discerning routing...

After last weekend on the RD04 in the forest, I decided too bite the bullet and sort that seat out. Its the original seat so no mods but not that comfortable when you spend a lot of time sitting on it. "Anyway". Took the cover off yesterday and reduced the hight and thigh width, as its quite...

Spent all day Saturday filming with the 'Adventure Bike TV' crew in my local forest. They've been covering the new 'Africa Twin' motorbike which was launched quite recently and they wanted to film the original 'Africa Twin' bike from the beginning of the concept. There were four of us riding on...
