Pint sized biker couple fall foul of matching clothing gaffe
Check out this pair of pint-sized bikers. Sent into us by a Visordown reader, we had to pass it on. It looks like they're riding a (very) lowered Yamaha XJ6 Diversion. We particularly like the matching gear. And matching hairstyles.Good luck to them!

BMW Adventure goes forth...

By Ray Cathode on 13/05/2008 11:45:54

Reader's Rides: Kent
By Visordown on 29/11/2010 15:16:17

By Bertie Simmonds on 12/12/2002 11:48:54
Did Bertie get on with the RSV Mille R, read on for his longterm verdict...
. Four hours later and I'm tired, but happy as I arrive at my sister's gaff with another 180 miles or so on the odometer. A bit of pottering around visiting rellies ensues - another 50 miles, then come Sunday night it's back in the saddle and back home up

Wozza avoids the law with a calm time onboard the Honda CBR954RR
development opportunity' according to estate agents.Anyway, all this means the Blade lives outdoors - not a good place for one of the country's most nickable sportsbikes. I chose a gaff in a quiet area where bikes could at least be tucked out of obvious sight
