Greetings all, it’s been quite a while since I left NL. Found myself checking in to RTR for a bit of nostalgia and to look at some of the stories and pictures which I have really enjoyed. Many great memories of the rock! Still living in Azerbaijan for work, although still spend some time in the...

Hello friends…it’s been a while (long story) but I thought I would check in with RTR and say hello. Moved from NL to Azerbaijan around 9 months ago. Joined the dark side and bought a GS. I have taken her to a few countries now…prizes for guessing the flags!

Selling my ES model with electronically adjustable suspension, factory cruise control and heated grips. 1,200kms and the bike can only be described as new condition. Just completed run in service with new fluids and filters including shaft drive oil. Very regrettable sale, but genuine reason...

The Yamaha Tenere 700 was much hyped in the year or so before it made production, and was just as hyped when it was released in 2019 (2020 in North America) It sure is a mould breaking machine in the ADV class, with good looks, sweet motor (I know Mike won't agree with this part lol) Light...

I bought this yesterday....2009 Yamaha TMax 500. Now, before people think that I am a raving lunatic, there is "some" method to my madness. As some might remember, I sold my truck a couple months back. Hardy used it, couldn't justify it, and got offered a ridiculously good deal on selling it in...

Appreciate that this is probably a very subjective question, but here goes anyhow. Aside from moto day trips, long weekends away and stuff, I have a 14 day max moto road trip planned in July. With the commitments of work, family and things, I want to make the most of the time that I have for the...

Not messing about this season by’s

So, after installing my Altrider crashbars on the ST the other week, I notice the powder coating split/cracking around one of the bolt holes, under the bolt/washer. Granted, 75Nm is applied to that bolt, but it kinda pisses me off that the coating is coming off before even turning a wheel. I...

Came across this picture on a social media feed just now. Looks like a 70’s 250cc race…2 stroke Suzuki? Anyhow, look again at the riders left hand…

Took my leased truck in for a service this week (servicing part of the package) Mentioned to the sales guy that I wasn't planning on replacing it with anything when I hand it back in June. This is due to unforeseen lack of use of this one/wife now has a car/working from home more/can manage...

A lot of any relax time at home that I get during the winter is spent planning (sometimes only dreaming) about my summer moto activities. Aside from impromptu evening or weekend trips, or sneaky overnight runs, I have a 12 day or so solo Atlantic Canada trip in mind in August taking in a night...

Re; the recent discussion on tyre availability, The dealer contacted me yesterday to say that my rear Motoz Tractionator should be here at the end of the month. This will compliment the front that I have. In days gone by, I had a guy close by who did a free ride in/ride out service for tyre...

So, a lot of hype about the Yamaha Tenere 700 (T7) It is a excellent ADV bike, and the first true middleweight bike (for the masses) that can handle "most" road work and offroad (with proper tyres) with ease. All this and it looks the part, and is affordable as well. I have been impressed in...

A few pictures of yours truly on a couple of next gen HDs the other week. I know that I slated the PanAm somewhat....still hard to justify it over the competition, but it's kind of growing on me, and the unique factor is quite appealing. The special version that the boys have coming in Rugged...

Just taken out the Livewire, pretty jaw dropping in most ways…Pan America next. Stay tuned

Just a little video of me at the weekend on the T7…..NOT. Talk about keeping the throttle pinned!!

Planning on taking the bike on the ferry across to Fogo Island on Saturday. I am assuming that the ferry company has straps available to secure the bike down if necessary? I have heard with a flat sea, no need to strap down. I don’t want to be carrying ratchet straps with me, but always carry...

I have managed to swing a 5 night motorcycle trip starting next weekend. Going to load up the bike with my camping gear, and hit the road in NL. I had though about meandering up through Bonavista, then maybe push on up past Gander and get the ferry to Fogo and check it out. Or, head South...

I won’t go into the full story, but due to some unforeseen circumstances, I am now the owner of 2x identical sets of this superb soft luggage. It is size L (large). The pictures are of set x1 that are installed on the bike. Set x2 are still wrapped in the box. Anyone interested in buying the...
