Another spring around the corner, another reason to get the bike out the garage and yes, another reason to make excuses to just ride around aimlessly. Dunno where you’re going; don’t care. That’s the spirit.Interestingly, there’s a good feeling in the water. Lockdown easing is upon us in the UK and our European customers are already getting ready for their turn. Yes, it’s still restrictive, but people are starting to order with confidence after the standard winter lull. In saying that, we didn’t …

Yup folks, lockdown is back. Viral cases are up. Brexit’s looming. America’s on the brink of a new president (as I write this) and it’s damn cold in the UK. However, it’s worth you knowing that we’re still trading and have just replenished most key lines of stock (or have them fully replenished by mid November).

You’d think that, as it’ an older person’s sport, motorcycles in general would have become more sedate and slower, more lethargic and condesc …

As I write this, the C-word is now becoming less of a worldwide issue, as it starts to subside (this reminds me of the time I took someone out on a date and said “I never use the c-word in front of a girl”, to which she said “What...COMMITMENT?” I still laugh at that story some 25 years later). In turn, we’re seeing our commuter customers more readily buying mirrors and indicators and so on. As it so happens, stock supply is still reasonable at the moment, albeit a bit sporadic in pla …
