Roger, out!

That is some list, but the reality is if we all made a list of what we think we would need in the worst scenario we hope webwould be carrying the answer. I didn't notice any water though or an energy drink or Mars bar, etc. it's a really good list which I will be following now as a starting point, t...

Keep the original documents ( a legal requirement in France ) tucked safely away in you jacket.    Having been stopped in a couple of  French Police `Road Safety  Checks',  I also carry photo copies,  clearly marked up as being  `Le Cop...

Hi Stelyn in Department 16, Cherente.

Hi Trichef1 some really good advice! But unlike Levisp I prefer protection bars over cylinder head protection. It's all a matter of choice. Best of luck.

A Happy New Year from sunny but freezing South west France. I have set up my kitchen with my treadmill, spinner, stepper machine and rower to burn off the last six months of contract work and get me fit for the bike when the time is right. Oh and to get rid of the Christmas Turkey, puds and booze lo...

I had a K16 owner friend who is a carpenter and who works for food provided I was his labourer. Took 2 days to build and its snug enough for me to move into should the wife nag too much :-) Oh to have the "artisan" skills of a good carpenter that looks like a great job. When I get a momen...
