I've been organising & talking about this for so long that I hardly know where to start as most of it has already been explained before. "Start at the beginning & work through 'till the end" they say, so I will. I will try & be brief with the preamble: For those of you that haven't been paying...

BBC London tonight featured a protest meeting about the planned closure of my local hospital's A&E (well several meetings as they had to keep hireing more and more buildings to accomodate us all). Another local trust has gone bankrupt so some chinless wonder has been hired to produce a £2m...

Not much of a TR but I was in Dubrovnik for a week at a mate's wedding. Hired a scooter for a day for a quick recce and a KLE500 for 2 days 2-up. This a Piaggio X7 250cc. It was quicker than I expected and OK for overtaking trucks on the coast road. I rode it down to Cavtat, had a look at the...

Anyone hired a bike in NZ? Planning on going back there in march 2013, this time to do some bike touring as well as showing the missus a bit of my favourite country ;-) I'd like to hire a GS, but I don't think the missus' dodgy hips will cope too well, so it looks like it'll be an RT or a Pan...

As a recent new member I have been looking at the various information in the forums. I read with interest about MPG and in a recent 1700 mile return trip to Switzerland can confirm that its low 30's that with throwover Panniers, tent and 80mph running down french toll roads. The thanks go for...

Hi, I'm from Norwich but have recently moved to Spain. I have owned a 650 TA in the past and have hired a 700 for a week's trip to Switzerland, and with also having owned a VFR am content to remain with Honda. I hope to buy the new Transalp (in the UK) this year, but as one of its uses will be...

Hi folks, I've been lurking for a while on the forum, but since i bought a Transalp of Friday i thought it best to say hello properly. I'd joined sometime back while researching bikes to buy for a trip i had planned to Kathmandu, but in the end i went for a 3AJ Tenere. It was a basket case...
