Amazing simple little addition to your touring kit... Hi all. After finding the Motrax throttle grip ("cruise control") and used it last year on a European trip, (including an epic charity ride of 850 miles in one day from Sword beach, Normandy, France to Checkpoint Charlie, Berlin, Germany)...

One of the best things you can do is register with the site below. Its an English speaking site and while there's already a ton of information on there about routes, etc, if you make a post, everyone will help you. A very friendly site. There are people who run their own B & B's and some of...

Thanks :) Just two of the many many bikes over the years hehehe No worries, I'll surely be taking lots of pics and tell you all about it :D

Thanks. Yep, you're not wrong there. Couldn't believe it cost over £20 to fill up the other day :jaw drop:

Thanks :) it's on account of lots of curly hair but people can always recognise that it's me from my long plait flailing behind from my lid. I'm usually known as CG for short, my alter ego, as such!

Thank you :D

Hi all. Quick intro.... live in Wiltshire, England, have a 2008 FZ1-NA and a 2009 Kawasaki KLX250, use the bikes for commuting / weekend riding with friends / European travel & holidays / escapism and to retain whatever sanity may remain! Ride safe :)
