Clearly it's a tricky question for some people Blonde explains MPH - YouTube

This is my '96 AT. I've had it since March and I'm her 4th owner. I've done the bike over from top to bottom, killing all the rust I could see. I've cleaned and painted the exhaust and leading pipes, changed the front rim and spokes, repainted the front brake discs, repainted the instrument...

OK, so I have my new Dommie, and she's great (see attached pic)! However, she is a Euro import model so runs in kph. It presently has one of those stickers on which convert the speedo roughly into mph, but as one member on here has said...they are quite difficult to view in the dark, and are...

Just had the seat from my VFR project beautifully recovered by Dave Harding (Digger Custom Motorcycle Seats), based in Newport (South Wales). He's done a fantastic job and it's going to put the rest of the bike to shame; £60 for a basic recover, which actually involved lots of stitching and...

Ok, have fully recovered from the China trip, and have more or less caught up on everything on the home front. Time to roll baby ! This time I wanted to head over to Laos, and make one final attempt to get to the top of Lima 85. Then head to south Laos, into Cambodia,then end up in Pattaya. The...

Weather for Sunday looked good for a change, so me and HUDDERS went out for a mooch round some local lanes that I had'nt been on for years. We met up near Rawtenstall headed down towards Rochdale then on to Rooley moor road, a track that goes over..........you guessed it.........Rooley moor...

Well the bits for my beast are coming together; just waiting fo the tricky bearings that match the CR stemm to the AT steering head

Top Tip for all you AT pilots (I was going to put this in bike tech, but guess it's really only of use to AT owners, all other off-road bikes have rims that make it easy to change tyres). I have a set of Buzzetti tyre levers bought off ebay which I'm taking with us on our trip (the nice...

I've just got back from escorting a group of journalists on a trek across the Andes in Salta Province, Argentina. We were on sections of the famously treacherous road 'La Cuarenta', detouring off onto dry riverbeds and through tight canyons. We were in 4x4's I'm afraid - it would have been...

Firstly I cannot condone breaking the law in any way and as such I cannot recommend doing the following modification ;) . If you proceed to do this then it is entirely at your own risk and you need to check if it breaks any laws for your area first. If you use an Autocom system and a Kenwood...

Been fiddling around trying to wire my Trailtech Vapor into the existing loom, come to the conclusion there's no easy way and that I need to cut some wires then connect to the Vapor. Problem is I want to find a neat way of splicing two wires. The Trailtech has some neat mini-crimp ferrules...

Some photos from a late evening jaunt in the Berwyns. Setting off along the Wayfarer Progressively rockier and rockier Some short sections of planking Looking back along the trail The summit of the Wayfarer trail A tricky descent on Hen Graig

With a trailer to carry them, what spares, tools and other bits and pieces should we take to the Cambrian? I think we have ATs and TAs going, what do you think we might break? If we do break it does it need to be fixed there, or should it wait 'till the bike is home? This is a cue for all...
