As my Son has just passed out in the Army he has been dying to get out on his XR125 and wanted to do a “mission”. I was not looking forward too much to plodding about with a 125, but he has never ridden any distance so I thought, everybody has to start somewhere. We set off from home and went...

Hi all, Well after showing my DIY roadbook on the forum a couple of months ago I have decided to detail how I done it for less that £10. Firstly you need to purchase the aluminium box from Maplin, part number XB56 Chassis AC64 @£2.89 each. When you order this you need the knobs, also from...

Hello fellow @-ers, Ever since I bought my bike I had some strange braking problems. Whenever I would brake my lever would seize (I thinks that's the word, meaning it would not go any further) a little, and therefore brake only a little. When I would squeeze harder it would eventually shoot...

Pentagon GPS, useless and rude IMO. The sorry tale. Odered a Zumo las Friday, paid through Protx and had their confirmation that afternoon. As the Zumo hadn't arrived by Wednesday I emailed them - the 'phones aren't answered. Got a reply to say it had been sorted out but by Friday still no...

These parts: Are available much cheaper than over the Honda parts counter. I only found this out after paying Honda £££ for the 'genuine' :rolleyes: part. The Honda part is made by the same company as the ones my Dad grabbed out the back of his van and pays pennies for. The generic ones...

We have finally managed to get some quality decals manufactured and they are now for sale online in the forum shop HERE :thumb: :thumb: :wav: I know it took ages to get them, but I organised them in my spare time and have paid for them upfront, so until you lot start buying them, I am out...

Just a few pics from a quiet Sunday afternoon ride in the Welsh countryside around the Tywyn penninsular. :iconbiggrin: The seaside town of Aberdovey Looking down on the River Dovey The aptly named Happy Valley The view from the Roman road over Rhydcriw Craig Cwmllwyd The view...

When you count your pennies to buy a new bike, wouldnt you rather have a Kawa Versys than a TA? It isnt pretty but it's cheaper, with ABS, more power, better mpg etc etc. And what does Mabel mean in her signature - saying that you dont know how many people you affect till you're dead? I...

I have just got back from my local KTM dealer where I test rode a 990 Adventure. WOW - what a bike. PLUS points - fantastic engine, pulls really hard in any gear, sounds great, even thought it a lot taller than my TA the balance is fantastic, within a couple of minutes I was quite happy to stop...
