By Jon Urry on 05/11/2003 13:43:43
The sorry tale of taking three express tourers to the land of eternal rain and mist in an attempt to find a ray of sunshine
, unlike Wales which now has a Police helicopter permanently airborne to catch speeders. We had a Honda Pan European, Yamaha FJR1300 and BMW R1150RT ready to go and a quick phone call to my parents the night before we left confirmed that the weather

First Ride: 2001 BMW R1150RS
By Niall Mackenzie on 29/03/2008 13:48:02
