The Adventure Bike Rider (ABR) festival in the UK is a great place to meet like-minded people, listen to presentations from those in the adventure riding community and enjoy a beer or two whilst listening to great bands.

Having owned my BMW R1200 GSA for around two and a half years and 15000 km, it was time for a change. My friends thought I was mad, to be getting rid of the bike I imported and loved riding, but I had my reasons.

Isle Of Man, Teapotone Clan Ride
- Written by: Bikers España

Setting off to meet up with a group of strangers for a motorcycling weekend isn't on everyone's "To Do" list but it should be. I have to confess that I have been a member of Teapotone's Clan for a few years and had actually met a few of the members at another event in 2022 but the rest were new faces including the big man himself.

Trail Riding With Catalan Adventure

As most of my friends, family, and followers know, I am not great at off-road. Don't get me wrong I have done some over the years, my first bike being a Honda C50 field bike, which my brother and I used to use on a relative's farm, and later a CG125 that got very muddy on occasion, on the forest trails in North Yorkshire UK, but I never got into motocross or trail riding as a youngster. In later years I bought a BMW F650 and did a few gravel rides in Spain before selling it.

A Day Out On A Suzuki GSXR750Y

Owning three bikes is a luxury, I know that despite the N+1 formula bikers always roll out when discussing the optimum number of bikes they should own. Maybe I should sell one? The one I don’t use very often perhaps?
These questions have been floating around for a while, but they are difficult to answer. The one I don’t use often is easy, it’s my GSXR750Y, which I bought new in March 2000, its only covered 49,000km in those 21 years and has moved from only bike to second bike and now third s bike tatus. In the last few years, it has done around 1000km per year, not much really.
Should I sell it then?

A Weekend In The Valencian Mountains

On my birthday my wife suggested I took the bike away for a couple of days. Not wanting to look a gift horse in the mouth, the following morning I set off, for a weekend in the Valencian mountains. Unfortunately, the then-current Covid restrictions meant I couldn't leave the Communidad de Valenciana and cafe, bars etc closed early causing a few issues, more of that later.

Flat Track Training Valencia

What better way to spend a sunny Sunday morning than messing about on dirt bikes!
It's been a good few years since I have been off road in any capacity, the last time being on our old BMW F650, riding some tracks in the valley near my home. This would be different though, a two and a half hour training session with a flat track twist.
