It was only when my son asked me if the scalloped sections under the pillion seat were handles, that I realised they were. I opted to have the pillion seat, just for the chance of showing one or two selected folk what it's like. I've not taken anyone yet. What are those handles like for the...

Anyone found an extra neutral between 5th and 6th? Only twice in 600 miles, but an unpleasant surprise.

My first search on Google for ?Kriegar? took me to Wikipedia, which helpfully explains that it comes from the German and means ?warrior?. After a bit of value-seeking, no longer does clever Google direct me thither. As a result of all the surfing I?m now waiting for an R20 to arrive in the...

I?ve never been a wearer of earplugs - I don?t like the feeling, and I?ve always thought that silence (or thereabouts) lends a video-game aspect to riding that?s probably best to avoid. Then I got some AirPod Pros for Christmas. They?re not especially comfortable in the helmet, but by golly do...

I?ve lurked here, checking the delivery thread from time to time. Got the bike yesterday and am laying in bed watching the rain outside. Cup of tea. While still in the duvet, I?m browsing the web for a lithium-friendly trickle charger; the battery was flat when the dealer walked me to my new...
