Jack, if I were the head of the RoSPA then I'd appoint you as the top PR honcho right now. I'm going to take your advice and book up this year and write about the experience on this site. Just one thing; 'I now have RoSPA going around in my head to the tune of 'YMCA' and I'm doing old fashion hand s...

I've about two weeks of tinkering with the design, function and stability of this site before turning my attention more towards content? As is the case when I get stuck into these things I'm becoming a little blind as to what I'm looking at i.e. I know the functionality of this website so well I'm d...

Here's the scene outside the office this morning. It's looking mighty adventurous, don't you think

For some obscure, unknown reason I just found myself just reading a report on motorcycle accidents put out by the California Highway Patrol, I've copied in part or the report below. It got me thinking - 'maybe I should go on an Advanced Rider Course'. has anyone ever attended one of these; how much ...

The three areas I've revisited the most up in the north of Scotland are; The Knoydart Peninsula- the last true wilderness region of the UK. However to make the most of the region you'll need to park the bike up and set out on foot. The peninsula has no roads and the village of Inverie is still only ...

I lived in Ireland for about 4 years back in the late 80's before the Celtic Tiger economy took hold. Fantastic place back then where the local shop/undertaker/butchers still doubled up as a bar out west. At the time I was riding a new ZX10 and it was the only one in the country, mind you couldn't g...
