Well I've decided that the easiest way to do my recent tour trip write up is going to be in the form of a blog. That way it's going to be more easily readable than by inserting a few random images on here. So, to date I've managed to write up the first half of the journey covering North Wales...

Hi all. I decided I wanted to fit a high level front mudguard to my Dommie. I selected the Polisport black item for the XR 650 thinking it would be the same. On arrival it clearly isn't the same. In fact I am wondering if I will have to change the lower steering yolk as it only has two tapped...

Hi guys, I am almost done with my rebuild of the 1994 RD 07 Africa Twin -however there is one dodgy detail - my gas does not return to idle as quikcly as I would like it to ( i.e. like before I tampered with it). So, this is what I did - I took of the handle bar and coated it in black plastic...

came out of my house to be greeted with the sight of my xl650 flat on it's side, a mother on the school run reversed into it and it took quite a whack. took it to the garage and found out the right hand bar riser had snapped in the yoke on top of the fairings cracked mountings all snapped...

Has anyone done a write up on how to change the swing arm bearings as my dommies back end has started flapping all over the place so I reckon I need to change em. I am assuming its the swing arm bearing and not the wheel bearings as the bike steadies up the faster you go but then flaps and...

A few years back I took a tatty £800 Transalp on an unforgettable adventure around Morocco. I managed to prove to myself and others that you don't need tons of expensive gear, tons of planning and tons of logistics to do it. You just need to do it. Anyway Im ready to do it again. I don't want...

Now I've already had a couple of 600's but what could convince me to move upto a 650? The 600 looks much nicer and more 'manly' if dated, with the 650 m curvier and expensive in a drop! But how does the engine behave, power and economy? and weather protection wind blast etc? And legendary finish...
