    Big insurance renewal increase

    Just got my renewal quote through + 22% uplift on last year. No accidents, claims or convictions in the year to cause it. Can I ask what have others experienced?

    The shambles that the RAC has become - A warning.

    Long post - sorry Not only am I tired of their Mickey take renewal quotes (typically 200% of what I end up paying), but see below for a summary of the service I received when I broke down on Saturday 9th of March. At 8:30 I called the breakdown line from a service station I'd just about...

    Just a brilliant ride today

    Went for a 120 mile or so blast this afternoon with my lad on his GSXR 750. Dry grippy roads, not too much traffic & brilliant sunshine. I'm starting to get much more comfortable with the awesome performance of my 2015 bike. I'm much more relaxed and just having a ball riding it. Happy days.

    Popped in to Bahnstormer (Faringdon) yesterday very quickly. The 17MY RR demo bike was very much booked up & only 30mins test rides available so I didn't bother. Some different colours + horrid (thankfully easily removeable) reflectors on the front mudguard, otherwise visually identical. Very...

    Horrendous riding conditions last night

    Went to see Opeth at Wembley Arena last night & the ride home was bloody awful. Heavy rain was forecast, so I had proper kit on, but it was worse than I'd been expecting for sure - torrential rain & very strong winds.

    Tail Tidy for 2015 bike - Evotech or R&G or something else?

    I had an Evotech on my S1000R and really liked that, so I'm tempted to get another for the RR, but does anyone have any contrary recommendations & if so why?
