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...

I have a rd07a that i commute on but I do 555km a week and it will kill the bike if i keep pileing on the km's. So the missus has signed off a trip to the UK to buy a crf1000 to ride back to Spain to use as my daily mile muncher. last time I did the route a few years back ( link to some pics...

So, on Friday night I parked my '07 650 TA in the garage, everything was fine. On the Saturday morning I tried to fire it up and it just spun on the starter with no hint of life. I then noticed the green 'key' light was not going out, so that is the HISS warning light. I've had the bike around a...

Since changing the CDI my Dominator starts fine first thing in the morning, garaged over night, after work though she is a pig to start. Again garaged all day in a public car park. Messing about with different amounts of choke the bike backfires bad and then eventually starts. The only other...

Due to zero take up, probably because of other events over this weekend, this is cancelled regards John

Moving onDecided that a cull will be needed of all sorts of stuff that I've not got around to dealing with over the last few years, so ... Output shaft from my ’06 TA’s 11,422 mile engine. If anyone wants to make an offer for it, or any other parts of the engine, then contact ‘Ash’ (9-5...

So like an idiot my GoPro was not turned off. I got hit by a car from behind at a roundabout. I got to the front of the queue and was waiting for a space to enter the roundabout when I pulled away and then got hit from behind by the car behind me. I have photos to show the fuel leak on the...

Oh dear, I have a rear puncture. Didn't discover this until I set off on my early morning commute at 05:15. When I first pulled the bike out of the garage I thought the brakes were sticking a bit. Normally they are fine but should have checked further before riding off and snaking down the road...

Hopefully, I am putting this in the right place. I am planning on going to EICMA this year and was wondering if Thursday the 10th would be less crowded than Friday or Saturday. From what I hear last year was crowded the whole time. Would love to hear from those who have been there in the...

Hi all I've been interested in green lane-ing/off road riding for some time now, I'm a seasoned road rider but wanted a winter bike to play on, as I'm new to off road riding and after a lot of internet browsing as to Which bike I should go for, I decided on a crf 250 xrl which I'm picking up...

Hi all, Go back 16 years..... I was walking with my wife and saw my first XL1000V. I definitely remember saying how it looked like something I'd like to own. Last Saturday, I bought one on a whim. :D It's a1999 model with 64000km on the clock, genuine luggage, 2 screens, Ohlins shock, SWM...

Hi whenever changing the neutral switch beside the sprocket ,whenever unscrewed and taken out does the oil flow out or can this be done mid trip if I needed to . The reason I ask is I think mine is beginning to act up and i have ordered one which should arrive tomorrow ,but I ,m away on...

Hi Folks, I have been given a pass for 4 days 3 nights to get away on the bike starting next Saturday and I'm looking for some suggestions. I like the look of this little route (http://adventurebikerider.com/forum/58-england/441160-abr-issue-29-route-files-the-cumbria-way.html) which I imagine...

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...

Hi, I am planning to ship my bike in Barcelona in June to start from there a loop in the Pyrenees. Does anyone know a trusted place where I can ship my bike to and collect it from there on the Saturday the 18th of June and drop it back there Sunday the 26th of June? I am thinking to look for...

Good morning all, So after many test rides I have decided to get a varadero. I get it next Saturday I can't wait. It's going to be my first big bike after doing my DAS in January. It's quite an up grade from my 125 cc cg! I thought it would be a hard bike to ride due to its size but when I...
