Bikes

With summer upon us (or what passes for summer in the UK), it’s high time for bikers to head to the continent for great roads, delicious food, and to mime frantically what you want as you inevitably struggle with the language!

Riding on the continent is something I believe all bikers should do at least once, especially as it’s so easy to get to. Exposure to other ways of life is one of the best ways to enrich yourself, and the roads are often fantastic too!

In this post I’ll cover what you’ll need, and what you’ll need to know before you embark on your European adventure.  I’ve been on a few trips through Europe by motorcycle, and lived in Gibraltar for three years so I thought I’d pass on some advice and experience.

Recently I had the chance to ride Yamaha's mighty MT-07, I thought I would give you my thoughts.

So in this blog I want to talk about my experiences to date with my 2008 Yamaha R1 4C8. This isn’t a review as such, just my opinion on having this bike as an everyday bike, it is a fraction of the cost of the latest superbikes, but is it any good to live with?
