Re: Is second hand bike market gone?

I think it's all down to cheap PCP finance. For a couple of grand you can buy a new bike, and pay £100 a month for three years. At the end you can walk away, pay the outstanding thousands or chop it in against more PCP on a new one. The vast majority of PCP financed bikes then end up back at the dea...

Re: Early riser ?

There is something hypocritical about a lot of night owls. They'll think nothing of having a moan that the larks wanting to go to sleep at 10, saying you're spoiling their fun, that you're a lightweight, then making noise for hours. But wake them up at six and you're being unreasonable, spoiling the...

Re: Soft Luggage

You could always do what Greg Villalobos did, and make your own. Not waterproof, you just fill them with your gear stuffed in dry sacks. Cheap and cleverly thought out though Ingenious indeed - better not show that video to the ALTRider guys :whistle: Regs Simon I already have, on Saturday at the E...

Re: Excel bike show today

I had the pleasure of three days there and still managed to not spot the CCM stand. It is distinctly underwhelming compared to the NEC, although it was actually busier this year than last. You get the feeling that MCN rent a single hall and tell the manufacturers how much space they can have, which ...

Re: Royal Enfield Coming Up With An Adventure Tourer?
