ok, here we go....devil’s advocate time. I’ll probably get flamed. Why would anyone have booked to go anywhere outside the UK so soon. It seemed obvious there was going to be problems so sit it out and see how things pan out first. Any govt has to react to the situation as quickly or as best it can...

I feel very sorry for those folks who conrorm to the guidence and act responsibly who yet again have to suffer for selfish people... But again the English and dare I say UK government's are wrong in their action... A simple mandatory covid 19 test in return to uk at airports or ports with stay at h...

Greetings, Great to read all of your posts, especially as I had considered buying a Himalayan. The weight aspect, and to me heavy clutch, put me off the idea though. Toni, I hope you will not mind my making a safety point that barbecues and similar should not be used in an enclosed space such as a ...

Made the decision that there is nothing else I want that would fulfil the job I have for it so I reinsured the Himmy. I've also replaced the steering head bearings+bottom seal and added foam to the seat so it's going to get some use. Decision made so I cut holes in my van and fitted windows, built ...

Last Friday I did a few errands on the Himmy and as I parked it back in the garage I brushed passed another bike which had just had the...

I had a one as a loan bike when my 790 went in for a service, my partner has a Himalayan, so some experience...definitely better than the Himalayan but not as good as the 790...to be expected. I found the motor to run out of puff on highway speeds, it seemed a tall bike too..a decent first bike or ...

I have sold several bikes on Ebay with great success.. Recently i have sold and purchased bikes on Facebook marketplace and got a lot of interest straight away. It is free as well. What sort of buyers do you get via Facebook Frenchy? I am getting to the point of selling a couple of my unused posses...

I have been wild camping all over the UK and Europe for over 20 years and i ignore the legal aspect of it but respect the land and never leave a trace i have been there other than a bit of flattened grass. I take every bit of rubbish away with me and dispose of it correctly. Most of my hammock campi...
