Fun For Classic Motorcycle Fans This Weekend

Don’t you just love it when the weather forecast is good and the coming weekend there are events on both Saturday and Sunday that are just a pleasant bimble away on your motorcycle of choice?
Yep, me too.
This weekend is just one of those.

Coupes Moto Legende – Part Deux

If you like classic bikes, racing and the idea of spending a few days in France then Coupes Moto Legende could be just your cup of tea.
We certainly thought it sounded like ours and having not been touring abroad for a while we thought we would join an organised tour and do the [...]

Way To Go by Geoff Hill – A Review

First up we have the trip of Geoff and his friend Patrick on two brand new Royal Enfield Bullets from the factory in India back [...]

I am sad to have finished this book as it was rather comforting
to snuggle down with it and be transported to somewhere in Central

Classic Motorcycles purveyors of lots of great Classic goodies on which to spend your hard-earned have just launched another t-shirt in their Isle Of Man 2009 TT range.
This is a particularly splendid t-shirt in the Jack Daniels style as you can see from the photo.

Top Gear Ride Vietnam

I’m not normally in the habit of praising Top Gear, mainly because of the anti-motorcycle views of Jeremy Clarkson, despite both of his co-presenters being avid motorcyclists (or maybe because of, who knows?).
Anyhow last night’s Top Gear was a gem.
The three presenters were given 15 million Vietnamese dong with which to buy a [...]
