There is a pub in Winslow called The Bell which does the most amazing carvery Sunday lunches – we have been known on the way back from a ride to stop here – to s ..read more

I ride all year round. Generally unless it’s snowing or icy I’ll go out for a ride. Postie had arrived In the colder months I do admit that I get cold on the bike, even with thermals on I’m still chilly. Last year I got myself a heated vest which the o/h wired into the bike for me - basically I plug it in and I get warm and toasty. Simple. I have to say it made a huge difference to my riding as I was no longer getting cold. A couple of things you have to remember with a heated vest are: No. 1: Never leave home without it on during the months of October through to May; No. 2: Remember ..read more

I was luckily enough to get along to the British Superbikes round at Donnington a few weeks ago and there I met Stuart at GBRacing.

I met David Allingham at the Donnington round of British Superbikes 2020.  David Allimngham David, aka D-Bomb, has been riding a 2019 Suzuki GSXRR1000, which is a Michael Dunlop bike, in the 2020 Pirelli National Superstock 1000 Championship. David really enjoys riding for Michael’s team, he finds it has a relaxed atmosphere about it to work and there is lots of banter and David sees himself riding for Michael Dunlop in 2021 although as yet, there is nothing set in stone yet. David very kindly took the time to answer some questions for me. What is the best feel ..read more

Ron Haslam Race School So I have a birthday coming up and the o/h asked me what I would like. Now, this might surprise you (but probably not) I’m not one for jewellery and stuff like that, I like practical presents, things that I will get use out of or develop my learning with. To give you an idea, one year I had a set of door trims for my MGB GT, and a couple of years ago I had a BikeSafe course!  I had been thinking for a while that I would like to do a track day. I have never really enjoyed corners and it is something I felt would benefit from guidance in a safe environmen ..read more

Devils Bridge Waterfalls We wanted to go back to Devils Bridge (we had stopped there earlier in the week but it was so busy we decided to leave it for another day). The weather was not looking good but we set off with the intention of playing it by ear. As we were riding it started to rain and we got as far as Llandridod Wells it started to rain really heavily so we decided to seek shelter in a cafe for a late breakfast and a few cups of coffee whilst waiting for the rain to ease. We set off a ..read more

We had booked to go touring Northern Spain and Portugal for a couple of weeks this September but, as with a lot of things at the moment, this has been postponed to, all fingers and toes crossed, next year. Elan Valley So where to go instead?? After chatting at a bike night with a couple of people who had recently been to Wales, I had a look online and booked a cottage in Welshpool which is kind of mid Wales giving us a great location to explore mid, south and north Wales. Old Stores Cafe We set off up the A5 on the Saturday stopping at services on the way for fuel and a ..read more
