Well, hello again old pal… Home after a while. Filthy, needs a clean and complete overhaul once we can see the state of it. Car park was slightly flooded and brakes completely seized, so we had to remove them all, making it interesting to load and unload on a ramp. Infinite cake for @vtwingrin for an unexpectedly long day. #projectsv #sv650 #suzuki #motorcycle #motorbike #bikelife #vtwin #bikersofinstagram

Ah, we’ve been together almost twenty years and it’s been returned to full active duty by simply replacing a €4 bungee cord. After all this time, #boblbee still make this bag, and still sell all the spare parts for it. The shell, the side rails, harness, cover, nuts, bolts, all the accessories, everything. They’re called #point65 now, but #megalopolis is one of my favourite bags. #millenniumedition #bag #motorbike #backprotector #scars
Honda CBF1000 Loaner | Friday, March 24, 2017
So they gave me a #Honda #CBF1000 for a few weeks, but I handed it back. Detuned #Fireblade engine revs like it should and sounds good on paper, but it’s a cheapo bike with middling handling, crap suspension and most significantly, two cylinders too many. Still, always nice to try out another bike. Awaiting a cheque so I can go bike shopping again. #motorcycle #motorbike
Goodbye BMW R1200RT, thanks truck driver | Thursday, March 2, 2017
#FECK So a truck driver overshot his turn, reversed into me at high speed when I was stationary, trapped my exceedingly large and heavy bike underneath. Five minutes later, the next car to turn up was the police. Helpful. Looks like the bike’s a goner, though :( #motorrad #motorbike #crash #bmw #london
battery | Tuesday, November 29, 2016
First brought to my attention by @vtwingrin, this is a winter essential for bikers. About £30, this little #battery pack is USB-#rechargeable, but will jump start your #motorbike about fifteen times. And your car a few times too, no doubt. Three-pin plug shown for scale. #awesome
