The Engine have run ~ 58 k km, uses a litle too much oile, but holds 41 horses on the wheel!

I've just looked out my window and seen two horses coming up the road, nothing unusual in that as they frequently pass our house. The thing is the lady on one of the horses was chatting away on her moble phone, surely that's just as dangerous as driving a car while on the phone? I wonder what...

What with accounts and work keeping me from attending the XRV Xmas meet I put out a plea for a ride out this weekend and Vader answered the call. So we met up at Rykas at 8am this morning for a styrofoam cup of styrofoam-tasting hot liquid and then set off. It was raining. We'd both had a...

Hot sunshine all day both days, in October. Saturday we covered 113 miles in total - actually this...

Not an event, but a charity I'm involved with both in raising funds for the Calum's Road project, riding with a group of other idiots to Gambia through the worst winter on record and since then making trips to help out with various projects and fix and fettle the motor cycles that are so...

The day started very wet. Lots of rain that turned to snow over the high ground….but ended up being fantastic once the sun came out. Left mine at 07:30 and met up with Andy (XT6) for the ride to Jellies. Did 5 trails en-route to get warmed up. Arrived at Jellies just after 9. Gary...

What something with a similar stance to Lola, but a good few horses more. What are they like to live with (sat on a local one and felt like a big mean version of my old Divvies) rear tyres look expensive, but what do you guys think? Test riding a Sprint as well (will try the TDM as always...

San Francisco, 1906. (Music by Air - La Femme D'Argent) Turn up the volume and travel back in time! This film was "lost" for many years. It was the first 35mm film ever. It was taken by camera mounted on the front of a cable car. The number of automobiles is staggering for 1906. Notice...

If we’re all sitting comfortably…time for an update on the unlikely (but continuing) adventures of Lulu and Nessie. Given that the sun appeared to be shining in Leicestershire this morning and it being a Saturday (an all-too-rare combination of circumstances), Nessie was promised a ride out...
