I go a lot and just back after 3 weeks there. Almost all fuel pumps card operated and no cash. Be prepared for your cards being refused at fuel pumps. Issue of reading them! Total have a big promotion on and a lot of their stations out of fuel. Petrol stations have become scarce so dont let fuel run...

i get through lots of tyres, in a typical year get through 4 rears and 2-3 fronts. Funny thing is a set I got in mid May cost me the same as a set 3 years earlier, same tyres, same specs, same bike. That set from May is being replaced next week on the same bike and same price again. The rear will be...

I go to the same place in France and am headed back again next month. 12 days on a large pitch to myself is working out at €14 a day, includes showers and electricty. Over a number of years from 2014 the adult cost including showers has gone from €4.50 to €6.00 in 2020 and it has not changed since. ...

I travel to my daughter in Long Marston near Tring fairly regularly. Over the last 3 1/2 years I have never been able to average better than 40mph whether I go to Fishguard [M4] or Holyhead [M1/M6/A55]. Nothing to do with me or the bike, just traffic, restrictions, roadworks and the usual stuff. I g...

Using them since I got my first bike in. . . . . .. . 1972.

Best thing ever for things like phone wallet glasses drink snacks etc etc

And a map on top. . . . .

I have found the same. . . . but some sites have seriously upgraded their facilities too. Typically though my camping in France on a group camp looks like being about €7-8 a night including electrickery. I paid €20 for solo camping at Easter but it included a very good campers' kitchen, hot showers ...

I have taken my 84 K100RT on roads like that in France, on street tyres. You get some lovely routes. I have never owned an off road bike and to be honest have never even sat on a BMW boxer of any kind. In fact the first time I ever sat on ANY BMW bike was one day in 2010 I was persuaded to take an e...

Mmmm for a start I do not buy new or newish bikes. So what would I buy....more than one bike. I have a 1992 BMW K100LT I paid €1,000 for [had 92,000 miles] 2010. I also have a 1984 BMW K100RT I paid €1,000 for [had 36,000 miles] 2013. I also have a 1983 BMW K100RS I paid......... €1,000 for [had 29,...

You do need to check the extent of your cover. My insurance covers vehicle breakdown, nor 'rider breakdown' so I would not be covered for this type of recovery either. This is in my small print. Also in the small print in very many policies is that this type of cover does not cover getting the bike ...

From Ireland I am insured with Carol Nash and have comprehensive cover on 4 bikes [varying 26-39 years old] for just over €300 90-100bhp. It also includes legal fees cover which I have had to use. That includes business use [self employed], pulling a trailer on two of them, EU wide cover and EU wide...
