I had a week in Chania in September last year. If you want recommendations of places to eat there I can help. However, they'll be focused on vegetarian and vegan options.

but 2 down will be the turning point... Just like me and my TMax 560s. Two of them stolen 3 times in 12 months. First was recovered after five months but written off. Second one was recovered the same day it was stolen, thanks to the tracker and then the second time it was stolen the damage was so ...

@Taipan If you've got an X-ADV it's probably a case of when not if it gets nicked.

Having traded a Versys 650 for a Yamaha TMax 560 late in 2022, which was stolen after less than three months and then buying another Tmax which was stolen six months after I bought it and after being recovered (thanks Datatool) only to be stolen again later last year I think I may have solved the pr...

I had one of my tattoos done at a studio in Las Vegas.

Try before you buy. Anything with wheels smaller than a Brompton (20in if memory serves me correctly) will ride like shit.

Having had two 560 Tmax stolen a total of three times with the last being a write-off after it was recovered it's time to admit to myself I won't be buying another TMax, however much I might want one. This means I have a 39L Yamaha topbox for sale, complete with two keys. Despite the fact it came of...

Not the best of years for me. I had a knee problem in the summer that meant no riding for six weeks and now I'm still off the bike thanks to a broken collarbone; a cycling accident!

I was also supposed to be riding an ebike for a magazine review right now but again busted bone...

Maybe Weeksy got an offer he couldn't refuse.

As someone who's been through TMax I'd say get a tracker fitted. My first TMax didn't have one and when it was stolen it didn't reappear until five months later when the Police busted some guy riding it. When I saw the pictures of it on the salvage company website it looked like it had been down the...

Many places have low stock (limited sizes available) or a lengthy backlog for winter cycle clothing. This is more a case of bricks and mortar shops realising that clothing can be an elephant in the room and consequently carry much less stock (so that they're not left with out dated stock) or simply...

The UK distributor of KTM bicycles, Flo Distribution, closed down a couple of months back.

It's a bad time to be in the cycle trade with numerous distributors going to the wall and the recent announcement by Raleigh that it is dropping its P&A business in the UK.

Business as usual for my wife and I. For the past nine years we’ve spent Christmas morning at a local animal rescue, where we do voluntary work every Saturday. So it'll be cleaning the outdoor cat houses first thing and then the fun bit - distributing the gifts that have been donated by the public. ...

You'd be surprised, three times in 12 months. I'm seriously considering a Burgman 650. Surely no one will take that.

After my TMax was stolen on my birthday, I finally got it back after two weeks of waiting for the police to do their forensic stuff. They told me the damage was a broken mirror and some scratches. It was way more than that. I'm now waiting on a visit from an engineer from the insurance company to as...

Delivery is slow and the chain won't stand up to an angle grinder. Guess how I know that.

Two weeks after it was lifted, I've got my TMax back. When I spoke to the Police vehicle recovery team yesterday, they said there were some scratches and a broken mirror. Not too bad I thought. Then I collected it from the pound - ouch. Heavy grinder marks on lower front fairing and front mudguard a...

I'm on a private road with people around all the time. The scum that took my scooter even threatened one of my neighbours. Normally, I'd be working at home but I was away to celebrate my birthday! For the second time... It appears people know when you're going away for your birthday. The first time...

Home now and the bastards cut through the Almax chain. It's still there with the Squire lock hanging from the ground anchor. :shock: Do you live in a remote area? The almax chains take some cutting and its a bold mover to hack at one. I'm on a private road with people around all the time. The scum ...

It makes you wonder about the discounts supposed offered by insurance companies for declared security. You buy a gold- or diamond-rated lock, chain, etc and tell your insurers when they must be aware that in all reality such devices are merely a deterrent to casual bike thieves. I'm now wondering ho...
