Those kayak shoes look interesting, I'll take a look.

I set up camp wearing my riding gear on one evening of my recent trip, but as I prefer to ride in leather motorcycling trousers, breaking camp in the wet would end up a pretty slow and cumbersome business.

Whatever floats yer boat.

I recently did my first ever moto camping trip, seven days and 2000 miles up to and around Scotland.... wonderful. However, as I was keeping my packing relatively light, I only had one pair of walking trainers for wearing when not on the bike. Fine when it's dry, not so good when it is wet and you a...

I like the sound of your dealer. I recently visited a Triumph dealer to look at the Tiger 850, they didn't have any in stock, nor did they have a demo bike, but I was allowed to sit on a Tiger 900. When I asked about a test ride I was told "Oh, since lockdown we don't really have test rides / d...

I was in a Triumph dealer yesterday afternoon when they told me about this.

According to the lady I was talking to she said that Triumph have said it is not good enough just to be in Enduro, "they intend to win", a bold statement.

The place was packed, it was like a normal c...

Me too.

Hi Al. Sorry I was not clear in my last post. I'm planning on being in Scotland the same week as the rally, but I will be riding the NC600, and a fair bit besides, going through the Cairngorm's and up the East coast to John O'Groats, and then back down the West coast, into England and home. I hope y...

I've only just seen this thread. I'm a big fan of LOMO and am slowly but surely equipping myself and my VStrom with their bags. I'd love to attend the rally, BUT if all goes to plan I will be working my way down the West coast of Scotland on the 10th and on the 11th will be crossing the border and h...
