Feeding the needs of the motorcycle-obsessed. A life spent thinking about motorcycles, writing words, testing stuff and planning the next tour. All the views are our own. Who else would write this stuff?
Our colleague is taking this whole "BMW riders only ride to Starbucks" thing to heart. #motosky #motocycles #motorcycle
The internet still fascinates me. This morning, a motorcyclist in Islamabad was reading about #SW-Motech panniers ... #motorcycles #motosky
We ride at dawn ... as the saying goes. Well, they ride at dawn, I'm going to the Two Wheel Workshop to help out at the Pit Stop. Giving cancer the middle finger, what a great way to spend Sunday.
Today I will mostly be working on the 650F. Resurrecting the dead is a test of time and patience. On the bright side, I am no longer surprised at the things people do to motorcycles. #motosky #motorcycles #650F
Today I have mostly been chasing haggis in the wild on the Scottish border roads. Didn't catch any ... Damn they are quick. The #Suzuki #GSX8TT is serious amounts of fun #motosky #motorcycles
Ride your motorcycle at weekends. Wood costs more than petrol. This has been a public information announcement 😎😁 #motosky
Dear Mr Honda why is changing the rear pads on the NT a two hours job and really do we need all the metal shims and springy bits? Bloody good brakes so I guess the answer is yes. #motosky #motorcycles #hondaNT
Total fitting time to the Suzuki 8TT ... 1 large mug of tea or 40 minutes if you use a watch. SW-Motech Blaze soft and expandable panniers
What could possibly go wrong ... #motosky @suzukimotorsph.bsky.social
I'm told there are normal people doing normal things ... How strange. #motosky #motorcycles
Making good progress through France #motosky #motorcycles
A few months back, we published an article on AirTags, Google Find Hub and other low-cost "trackers". As one of our bikes is on its way to Spain in a truck, I wondered if I could get a location (I'm in the UK). Well worth the few pounds they cost. #motosky fliesonthevisor.com/tags-and-tra...
Sums up the ride home today. Filtering is a privilege, but if you don't like me doing it, buy a bike and join in. #motorcycle #motosky
Yes, it is an AI image, but this is me yesterday. I spotted the seagulls over the field, but my brain didn't make the leap to mud and liquid crap all over the road around the next bend. Riding in winter is different to sunny Sundays.... #motosky #motorcycles
For mobile: Click the 3 dots or 3 lines, then select Add to Home Screen> Add to Phone, and tap and hold the icon to place it where you want. Uninstall is just as simple.
Chrome: Top right corner of the navigation bar, click on "Install" Edge: It is the boxes in the top right corner (see images)
Will we break the government website tomorrow, taxing our motorcycles? Do we get a discount based on the number of potholes? Will it stop raining ... #motosky #motorcycles
4 into 4 and a colour coded rear hugger complete with pin striping. Class.
Other than a Suzuki and a motorcycle, anyone have any more details. Check out the swinging arm #motorcycles #motosky
Just one small problem, it is in China, but heck what a road. 99 hairpins ... Tianmen Mountain Road (also called the “Avenue Toward Heaven” or Tongtian Avenue) in Zhangjiajie, Hunan Province, China. #motorcycle #motosky
I had a reason for wandering down memory lane today - A magazine wanted some images. I'm impressed they remembered me. TT 2015 #motosky #motorcycles #IOMTT
Most of it went OK apart from 3 of the 4 bolts securing the mudguard. No squeaks, no fuss, just snap 17 years of road crap will do that. Soaked them in BDX before hand too. Still, if that is all from the fork rebuild ... I'll take the win #motosky #motorcycles
End of 2009 - Victoria Motorcycle Club at Manfeild NZ - Best go do some work now ... #motosky #motorcycles #vmcc
