Le Mans 24 hours – WHAT an amazing experience
The City of Le Mans is stunning with a beautifully preserved old town full of bars and eating houses. Our Hotel LePrince was also a great discovery inside a renovated area of the town with several bars and attractions as well as an art exhibition and a wellness spa attached to the hotel. And theContinue reading “Le Mans 24 hours – WHAT an amazing experience”
Le Mans 24 hours here we come (but the weather is not looking good)
Well it is almost time to head north for the wonderful Le Mans 24 hour motorcycle race. Of course the car race is more famous but I much prefer 2 wheeled racing so bikes for me! The car race uses the full circuit so some national roads must be closed, whereas the bike race usesContinue reading “Le Mans 24 hours here we come (but the weather is not looking good)”

Motorcycle downsizing. It comes with advancing “maturity”….ok age
As I become more mature, today’s big bikes are just too powerful for my reactions and my ability, especially the sports bikes which are now making over 200 bhp.

He always used to run British cars and I remember several Morris and Austins culminating in his Austin 3 Litre and then a lovely Rover SD1 V8S and so on, Dad was very faithful to UK-builtContinue reading “New Waxoyl spray, what a fantastic product..”

Meeting Rocket Ron and Leon Haslam!!!!
Back in 2015 I was helping some mates at RunxFun to run a stand at Bike Expo in Roma and on the nearby Aprilia stand I spotted their two official WSB riders signing autographs for a massive queue of fans. I went over to say hello as I recognized Leon Haslam and I helped himContinue reading “Meeting Rocket Ron and Leon Haslam!!!!”
My many years of experience with the amazing Yamaha TMaxs
I have come to know and to love my days and kilometers riding the Yamaha TMax. As a motorcyclist for many years I always thought that the TMax was a bit strange: generally a scooter is purchased for cheap commuting and motorbikes are generally for pleasure riding so where does a fast 500cc twin cylinderContinue reading “My many years of experience with the amazing Yamaha TMaxs”
