Gelukkige verjaardag Jan!

What a brilliant story.

So, please reply if:

1. You have had an MT500 stolen or you know of someone who has.
2. You know that the bike in question was reported to the police.
3. You know that the bike was not recovered.

Please reply only if all of the above apply.

The Police told me something astounding the other day. They said that they had no record of an MT500 being reported as stolen. MT350s do not apply because I know I told them when mine was stolen. My question is, has anyone on this forum had an MT500 stolen and reported that theft to the Police? Appr...

In an event that is held over 4 days, a huge BMW oilhead twin and some plasticky KTM twin that I can't identify (they all look the same to me), compete for the Iron Class. Well worth watching.

I recall my first meet was at the Wye Valley. I had already acquired my MT350 but I didn't yet have an MOT for it. So I telephoned/emailed someone (Bunker?) to ask is it OK if I turn up on my R80RT/GS. I'm glad to say that was approved. We all had a very jolly weekend of mucho beer drinking and tack...

The MT500 is ready to run as is the Tuareg. All I need now is some offroad to ride them on.

Ratty old R1100RS or K100RS get the treatment after I finish the GS.

Here's my 1995 BMW R1100GS. She's just undergone major surgery in that I have replaced the gearbox, shaft drive and final/bevel drive. Whilst I was in there I also put in a new clutch. Why the need for such mechanical carnage? Well, in 2017 a few of us rode the length of the Pyrenees offroad. We sta...
