Given the truly appalling weather of late I've decided to leave the Bonnie in the garage and give it a good clean. Whilst doing so I discovered the...

In Cornwall you can go from the English Channel to the...

I used to ride all year round and did so in some atrocious wather (Bloodbikes) and equally important - if not ever more so - to heated gloves is a heated vest. I've still got my Chillie wired vest...

If Pyrimid do a rear tyre hugger for your model that'll make a big difference.
