Was good to get out on the bikes this weekend. Even if it was just local to the awesome Quickshifter Coffee/Garage Six.

Oh, and we may have delimited the Royal Enfield Meteor too 😁😉

What’s it like to ride a motorcycle?

Well, like this in this weather.

Good morning #MotoSky! Whatever you are planning for your Sunday, I hope it’s as amazing as you deserve.

This sums up nicely how I feel about gyms.

Yes. Yes. Thrice YES
Some people ride bikes, others put them on and wear them. John McGuinness qualifying run for the 2016 IOMTT (IYKYK).

It was VERY rare for teams to wear sponsor gear in the 1960s. This is the Honda team at the '66 TT on Douglas prom. Riders: Redman, Hailwood, Graham, Taveri, Bryans. Chief engineer Michihiko Aika between Taveri/Bryans

Good morning #MotoSky!

I hope your day is as cool as James, here, always seen loitering in my local motorcycle repair shop reception.

Not normally my bag, but a pretty retro thing isn’t it?

It’s got to be the MG V100 Mandello S. Its got that certain something I can’t put my finger on it, but it’s in the same way Alfa Romeo has my heart.

Will need some extra saving so purchase will be a few months yet. It’ll be worth it. Just look at it. 🥰 Its the one

Good morning lovelies!

It’s dry and above freezing so riding to work in what feels like forever.

Ride safe #MotoSky! #ATGATT #Biker #Motorcycle

As a passionate #Guzzisti my vote is clear. 😉

But all 4 are good to have fun with.
My ranking would be:

1. Mandello
2.Tracer
3. F900XR
4. TRK702

I'm going to throw in a fifth option.
January 29, 2025 at 8:22 AM
Thinking of replacing the TRK502. It’s between:

• BMW F900XR
• Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello
• Tracer 9GT
• Benelli TRK702

That’s the order of preference at the moment. What’s your opinion?

Morning! Morning! Morning!

Arrived at work 03:00. Coffee consumed and ready for action! Hope you feel good and be AWESOME today!

Here’s some things to kickstart your day, from what was a very cool (now closed) motorbike store and cafe in Gillingham, Dorset.

Good morning! I’ve been at work for just over 4 hours. Hope your Monday is going better?

Here, have some beautiful Italian nonsense to brighten your morning as spied at Five Zeros, Bradford on Avon.

Eagles Chiefs Super Bowl?

I’d rather shit in my hands and clap than watch that.

Good morning!!

Remember you are awesome. But not as awesome as my mate “Awesome Bob”. This is Awesome Bob’s garage. Spot something you like?

Be more like Bob.
