DaygloDavid if you go for the sleeved jacket or body warmer might I suggest you find a stockist and try them on. I found the sleeved jacket too bulky under my normal winter jacket. The body warmer is far less bulky. I have also found that keeping your body core warm is sufficient. Both are excellen...

Switch gear is sure to look neater. Hadn't got to deal with cruise control, engine modes, ESA, Had all that. Better organised and better put together on the FJR. Only ridden an FJR once, three or four years ago.  I recollect a turbine-smooth engine; constantly tooting the horn when trying ...

One of the reasons is to use the van as a biking base to cover Northumberland and the Scottish Borders (got to be some of the best biking in the land...

Hello all. Just acquired my third RT. 11 plate, private sale with 6500 miles on the clock in midnight blue(the best colour of course).
