Evening, I was thinking of finding my passport and translation book, make sure my vaccinations are up to date and nipping over to Scarborough for this event, but have never been before. Is it worth the trip? plenty of top names taking part, so could be worth the £30 entry fee, but any previous...

As a regular commuter in Manchester city centre, I can't help but think that the use of the two unmarked BMW police bikes, one black and the other grey, must have something to do with the significant increase of the fine for fixed penalty notices that has come into force and the amount of...

As I know nothing about setting up my suspension, and I had a day off yesterday, so booked the bike into Kais to set it up for me. Great service (and a good cup of tea), they will set up the bike to suit your preferred riding style. Really impressed, the bike handles a lot better. £50 well...

Hi all, We saw the new bond film the other day (crackin' film) and I think that it is common knowledge that part of it is filmed in Scotland, so i am not giving away the storyline. Does anyone know the road they used in the main scene? brilliant views and given that I am planning a tour round...

As a general discussion, me, SWMBO and two dogs looking for a good coastal location in early July to hire a house/cottage, for a weeks peace n quiet. Been looking on the net, but a recommendation from someone who has already been there saves a whole load of disappointment..... Many thanks Stu...
