Godspeed, you are the undisputed master of long distance travel on small bikes, but.... In the last two days I have ridden a touch under 600 miles on my 650 VStrom, from W-s-M to Lowestoft, an overnight camp and home again via Lowestoft Ness and the very North of Norfolk via Broadlands NP. I have a ...

Well, I can think of worse places to be, but not many that could be better.

Amazing photo's.

When I bought my VStrom in 2020 I was coming from a five year period of not owning a motorbike. My last bike was a Buell S3 which was a hoot and a much better bike than those who dislike Harley's and Buell's could ever know, but I was either going to lose my license or worse my life if I was not car...

I have a 2015 VStrom 650 which I bought s/h just a few weeks before the first lockdown.... oh yeah, great timing. Last year I did my first ever multi day moto camping trip, after over 40 years of motorcycling, it was great. I live in the SW of England and travelled up to the top of Scotland, around ...

As tonibe says, they just need to sort their image and infrastructure out before you'd put money down on one. Still feels like a gamble. Sinnis T380 already dropped after less than a year. They need to build stability and dealerships before you'd sink more than disposable 125 money on one. It is no...

I use the "nearly wild camping " org as it lists nice basic sites that have minimal facilities and are small--usually good enough for a night or two, typically cheap and friendly, and best of all NOT a favourite for motorhomes and camper vans--so you get peace and quiet. I just went to ha...

from my experience many of the more basic/cheaper campsites have little or no online presence which is a shame, booking.com, google etc dominate any kind of search, if you want to save a few quid circumnavigate them where possible. I camped some where up in Scotland back in the summer just came acr...

Glad it's not just me.

I was beginning to think I my sense of humour was somewhat warped..... which it is.

If you google 'camp sites near xxxxx' it will produce a little map and a number of suggested sites.

As soon as you pick a site a box will open which has all sorts of details, including reviews.

Trip Advisor also has some good info as does pitchup and my current favourite ukcampsite.co.uk.

Like a few folk here I suspect, I am currently planning some of my trips for next year and despite riding motorbikes since the late 1970's this is all a bit new to me. So, a method I developed earlier in the year when planning a seven day trip to Scotland and back, was to sort out a start point and ...
