I don't think BMW have got the fuel gauge sorted to any high degree of accuracy in relation to what is quoted in the manual (at least not on my bike !) and I always reset the 2nd trip to 0 when...

I made the mistake of misunderstanding the 'count up' feature of my F8GT when I first had it.
I only got 30 gently driven miles (I was on a 'chill' day). Fortunately the engine quit 100 yards from a...

I had a dent/flare in the rim of both front and rear rims after a two-up holiday. I can only assume I hit a bad pothole with us both on and all the luggage. Can't recall the incident and continued to...

Hi Ken.

This decision must have come after some long hard thought. Probably will therefore be the right one but no doubt you will still miss it all. Your efforts to get the rest of us out and...

WHS ^^^

We have (had) an independent motor TV show here in UK that did a test on different vehicles using differing grades of fuel. The only vehicles which benefitted from higher octane above...

Probably the road via Brandon and past the gates of Lakenheath. If you were keeping up with a BMW in your Buick then maybe you were the crazier one!

Some nice biking roads in that area.

Not today but earlier in the week (I had swapped the SD card into my wife's phone by mistake so didn't have a picture).

Went out with two friends on a purposely short trip due to one of the group...

Reminds me I did buy one of those model kits by Tamiya. Must be in a box somewhere in the attic. I must take a look !

I am also a military vehicles enthusiast and 40 years ago I came close to buying one of these. I couldn't quite stretch to the price being asked and the owner wouldn't drop so I had to pass. Now...

It was a real worry for her stuck in South America. She felt some of the locals seemed to be blaming her (as the only foreigner) for the virus and she didn't know how safe she was or not.

I take issue with Daboo - England is not an island. It hangs off the bottom of Scotland and has Wales sticking in its side !

A modern take on the Penny Farthing ?

As senior citizens with a wife who suffers asthma and a brother-in-law who is recovering from cancer (shared house), it is pretty important to me that neither I, nor anyone else brings it to our...

I can't believe you actually found a round-toit. I have been looking for one of them for, it seems like - ever. I guess the tool stealing fairies in my garage must be keeping the rest of them hidden...

I like the true v. indicated speed comparison which is the way it still is. Wonder how many Matchless riders claimed at the meet that "They" had done 120 on theirs !

Posted on Facebook by a bike-riding UK nurse but I think this probably applies anywhere: -

"Wow, what a response. I am overwhelmed. Now I need you all to be grown up bikers please.
Covid-19 is...

My wife is a nurse (retired) and recalls in her training being told that fresh air was a good counter to viruses. She said that old hospitals were built with high ceilings and windows both sides of...

Just wait until the road planners add traffic lights to your roundabouts - because they will !?

Wow ! Putting the fuel tank under the seat - what a great idea !!

A few more updates have appeared recently covering their South Africa travels.

Jealous, moi ?
