So the DVLA will identify my having created a registration vacuum and will automatically dig up some random unused 2023 plate? Smashing. Cheers :)

Spent years tiptoeing my way to an Omega Globemaster. I wore it daily, but it lasted less than a year. It seemed like I existed for its benefit, not the other way round. Also the shade of blue wasn't...

I had looked at that page, but it days "Your original number plate will usually be reassigned to your vehicle automatically, if your application is successful."

Since its the original number that...

The plate I got with my new bike last year suits me as well as any plate could, so I'd like to take it with me when I next get a bike. I can't find the answer to this on the DVLA site.

If my next...

My pockets are always full of snacks, so I'm sure I can live without a mid-ride cuppa and cheese toastie for once. But, you know....

On Monday, I'll be taking a daytrip to the Forest of Bowland from Hawes. It'll be less than a 120 miles as I want to save energy for a longer trip to the North Pennines the next day. Hopefully a...

I'm not going to.

There's the underside strap going under the locked down pillion seat.

There will be two straps going to and from the rear corners of the bag, ducking under the tail by two...

I always supposed that once I progress from my 125 I'd be getting a top box, now I know for sure.


The underside of the bag has a strap that can go under the removable pillion seat.

Annoyingly...

Just learnt that the Manor Farm Cafe at Bellerby has new management. The hours and menu have slowly built up and it seems to be fully operational now.

Maybe I should loop the two rear corner straps under the tail, so they're both going from one side of the bike to the other?

Just had a trial go at attaching my roll bag to the pillion seat of my CB125R.

There's a fat single strap that gets locked in place by feeding it under the pillion seat. The only possible four...

Lovely ride in the Wolds and Howard Hills, with an accompanying pitter patter of tiny deaths on my visor. At one point I felt myself wipe out an entire family of weeny bugs in one go.

It became a free-standing expression in certain British and American circles. Those of us brought up in old-fashioned environments were faintly aware of it, as a nice way of being ironic about one's...

Où sont les neiges d'antan?

From 4'15 to 14'15, ten minutes of last night's glorious semi against Michael Smith

Since it's good to have it as well-grooved habit when it's needed, I've been looking for every opportunity to take a steep hairpin at in 1st gear. On the flat, my 125 is very tetchy in first, but on...

Took the A19 up to Yarm, against a very unhelpful headwind, then turned west and went to Barnard Castle. Then south to Langthwaite, over to the Tan Hill Inn and south via Keld and the Buttertubs Pass...

Having thoroughly enjoyed my daydreams of the various 350 Royal Enfields, I'm having an even better one about the Interceptor 650. Ultimately its a bit too retro for me, but thinking about how it...

Bike got whatever you call a service 4,000 miles after the 600 miles service. They seemed to think everything is fine. On Thursday I might get to go for a real ride, not just trudging up and down the...

Getting splatted by an unavoidable 33/33/33 usefully reminding me of what eventually made me frustrated with this game 😅

If anyone wants to make me like a watch, slagging off Cartier isn't the way to go about it, all it does is tell me that we appreciate different things.

Also, chippy af.
