We like going to Le Mans Year 20 perhaps, I would have to sit down and work it out to be exact, but its got to be around that figure. A first trip abroad for the Enfield, these are the sort of trips it was bought for and I have to say it ticks the …
A few days away in France on a GSXR seemed like an eminently sensible way of spending my 60th birthday. A chat with Vero earlier in the year had me booked in the diary and another trip was only a ferry ride away. Booking early and daytime crossings secured a cheap ticket. I broke the …
I first saw a Harris on the cover of Superbike magazine when I was about 17, its fair to say it blew me away, I wanted one immediately, I got this one when I was 21, ordered from Steve Harris at the NEC bike show in 1987, collected a month later , it’s had various …
A trip across Europe, Russia and Mongolia and back by Bob Scott A breakdown on a journey is never a good thing, whether it be nipping to Tesco’s or on day 36 of a motorbike trip to Mongolia. Losing the chain off the rear sprocket of a XT, allowing the chain to wrap itself round …

Brian McCall has been messing around on motorbikes since he was about 9 years old, what started out as blasting round fields on a Casal 50 and a BSA C15 has now become a passion, a passion that now extends …
Storm Karen promised so much but failed to deliver, we had anticipated a lifetime of trouble n strife over the course of a weekend, it didn’t happen, and that’s a good thing. We had a ball, as ever. The future, in the shape of the weekend looked a bit bleak, rain, fire and brimstone. It …
I first met Ian Feeley in a car park in downtown Malmedy, Belgium, just down the road from the Spa circuit. James and I were on our way home after watching the classic and endurance racing over the weekend up at the circuit. Three lads wandered over to chat after seeing our UK number plates, …
So there I am, riding out on the F1, happy as a clam, climb up Garrowby Hill and there’s a cough and a splutter and she’s running pretty bad. The happiness is short lived, isn’t it always! I make it to a lay by and whip the tank off, nothing obvious and I have all …
