The view on my ride to work

Gareth Pitt-Nash, 18 June 2013 06:02

Sadly I forgot to ride to work on ride to work day - I had some clothes to take for dry cleaning, so it wouldn't have been practical. I do, mostly, ride to work and thought I would send in the attached picture of my normal route. It doesn't do the views justice, but is a quick example of what I ...

His gearbox broke so for the last six weeks he has been stranded in Temuco whilst he could source out the parts he required to fix his bike.

Warning of motorcycle insurance creeping clauses

Gareth Nightingale, 24 April 2013 20:35

I have been riding and insuring motorcycles for some 35 years now and have always been able to declare the bike as garaged.

Zippydodah - zip pull replacement

David Hodson, 16 April 2013 15:00

However, never one for giving up, ...

The Northants and Milton Keynes Honda Owners Club had two rides this easter, taking chocolate eggs to children who are unfortunately in hospital. The first ride was on Saturday March 30 to Milton Keynes General Hospital and the second to Northampton General Hospital. Well done to everyone for bringing some easter cheer to those less fortunate.
