By Visordown on 25/10/2010 10:08:22
Forget trying to look cool on your new sportsbike, there is a new craze in town. Adventure bikes are the latest up and coming fashion accessory. You’d be a right Charley to miss out...
In the early and mid-nineties if you wanted to be cool on two wheels you needed a flashy race replica, set of one piece leathers, melted sliders and tyres with balled-up rubber on the outside. This said you were a true biker, riding hard, living

Reliving a past they never had on machinery they didn't own first time round, Alex, Jon and Jim indulge in a spot of nostalgic old school cool. Let's go retro
