Whilst what they sell may not be to the taste of the general membership here, I saw an article elsewhere that said Riders of Bridgwater are losing their Harley franchise. Riders have been a mainstay of the HD dealer network for the best part of thirty years now, and their premises in Bridgwater is a...

The GT performance guys don't have their own dyno - they use Crispys dyno in Plympton

Thanks folks, take the bike out? Are you mad?

Had a nice quiet day and off to Wales (just) to play in the mud tomorrow for the weekend ......

I'd guess it depends on your perspective and reference points ...... "best bike" for now, or "best bike" for then? Best bike for track, or best bike for touring? Best bike in terms of fitting the functionality you need, or best bike in terms of a smile from ear to ear when you ge...

Sunday 10th Sept is Wiscombe Park, Honiton.
Sunday October 1st is Hartland Quay.

There is also the weekend of 23/24th Sept. Originally a double header with Manor Farm on the Saturday & Wiscombe on the Sunday, I believe both events are now at Wiscombe, but that would need to be confirmed

Ooh, tonight is only "Part One" .... Part Two is same time tomorrow (Wednesday) night

As the title says, an hour of Manx GP highlights on ITV4 (Freeview ch26) tonight at 20.00

This popped up on FB marketplace this evening - know nothing more than what it says in the ad, but seems quite nice
