How to make sure your next trip is enjoyable, the overnight stops memorable and the border crossings forgettable. There’s a real romance to just grabbing your keys, ramming some pants and a toothbrush into the tailpack and heading for the border.

Packing light for a quick two-up ride on the new V-Strom 1000 XT to the Welsh coast and back. It was one of those rare long weekends. The sun was out, I had a test bike still on loan, and for once the wife wasn’t at work and was oddly willing for a bit of…

Three thousand miles on French back roads, visiting the four compass points – how hard could it be? We had a simple idea, to visit the four compass points of France to raise money and awareness for the Bone Cancer Research Trust. Our group consisted of myself (Harley-Davidson FXSTI), Bryan (VFR1200), Graham (R1100S), Robert (R90S)…

7th January 2019

As the evenings draw in, here’s one to warm your cockles – an after dark coast-to-coast ride on the shortest night of the year. It started with a casual conversation after some thought (not much) and some beer (considerably more). With roads so congested during the day, especially in the summer, why not do a…
