  1. Doing my Module 1 bike test tomorrow. Manoeuvres, slow and fast. Did okay by the end of training but getting nervous. Wish me luck #motorcycle #motorbikes

  2. Choose grunty motorbikes. Choose twisty Scottish Highland roads. Choose a beer named after a character in your favourite movie of all time and wondering can it get any better? Choose a pilsner. Choose Five Kingdoms. Choose Renton.

  3. Today's wheels: BMW R12, loan bike while mine is being serviced.

    It's *very* small after getting off my R1250GSA, feels like my knees are around my ears.

    It (honestly) has two engine modes:
    • Rock
    • Roll

    Haven't tried Roll yet, but Rock isn't very refined: feels like someone forgot to fit the balancer shaft, the whole bike tries to rotate sideways when you blip the throttle.

    Probably a hoot on the right road if you're not tall, I wouldn't fancy a long journey.

  4. Lotta responses to Togs and Clogs this fine Tune Tuesday. Surprised I haven't seen Richard Thompson's '52 Vincent Black Lightning yet.

    Red hair and black leather, my favourite colour scheme...

  5. #cycling
    “Legal #ebikes would be included within the pedal cycle category. Illegal #ebikes – if their power is above the limit to be considered as an EAPC – would probably be classed as electric #motorcycles, but… it can vary by force/reporting officer (sometimes they can be entered as pedal cycles, sometimes as other vehicles … )”

  6. With river levels low, unusual finds are being uncovered across Europe. This motorcycle was found near Budapest. It might be a candidate for restoration. River clay is a good preservative. This bike is a DKW 250 cc.
