Brilliant! I finally did some useful motor mechanic maintenance last night. My bike battery water was really low so after taking the side panels off my bike and removing the battery I filled it up with deionised water and checked the battery charge. This might not sound like a big deal but [...]

Why does it always rain on me when I am going to ride my motorcycle? I find it hard to believe we are in the worst drought in ages and everytime I have to ride my bike it is raining. Of course my obverser would say if there was a coorelation between my [...]

One of the reasons I love London is that you can bicycle around in knee high boots, a bright orange skating helmet, red Cuba baseball top with a bike basket and no body blinks an eye (in fact white van drivers still pretend they haven’t seen you).
