Sounds like this was another successful event over the May Day BH weekend.

2025 will be the 10th Annual UK RT Meet Up.

We are going to look at doing it later in the week. Ashley & I are now booked in at the Abergavenny Premier Inn for 2 nights. Tuesday 7th May, we'll be riding from Teesside to Wales. Wednesday 8th May, having a circular ride out, in and around the Brecon Beacons. Thursday 9th May, riding home. ...

The RS2's have now done 5,870 miles with the remaining serviceable tread depth to the TWI's in the centre of each tyre, Front = 1.0 mm, Rear = 2.5 mm. By the time I've been to Wales & back (700 miles) they should be ready for changing after a total of 6,570 miles, IMO, that is quiet good. The re...

Markus will not be attending, he hasn't got a motorcycle.

The weather forecast, https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2657815 will have to improve for Ashley & I to turn up.

Get a man in.

When cranking the engine to start, Yuasa recommend a minimum of 9.5 V. Meanwhile, I'll just keep an eye on it and carry some jump leads. Got BMW Roadside Assistance and breakdown cover with my insurance too.
