Re: Mathewsons auction 10th March .

If you watch the Mathewsons pre auction you tube videos as nice as these guys are they know nothing about motorcycles, in the last video they kept mistaking a Yamaha v80 two stroke stepthrough for a Honda c90 four stroke and they seemed more interested in the colour of the bikes than their mechanica...

Re: Reduced Road Tax ??

Don't hold your breath, it was only at the last budget that people were talking about scrapping the 40 year historic concession! what seems to be a pattern with this government is that they seem to chuck a load of stupid ideas out onto social media and then judge the reaction, recent gems have been ...

Re: Airfield cafe recommendations

It's always fun to pull up at a place like Box Hill or Newlands Corner in Surrey and watch as other bikers squint, stare and then argue with each other over how big the capacity of the engine is, most think that it's at least 650cc and have never heard of the 250 and 400cc Japan only models.

Re: Anyone know the best tank liner?

Here's a You Tube video of the Pathfinder cafe last summer, my bikes at 7mins 51seconds went there a few times last year, it's about an hour away from where I live, got three bikes so have to rotate their usage, If you decided to go at any time...

Re: Airfield cafe recommendations

I've been to Blackbushe and Redhill, the Pathfinder cafe at Blackbushe has good food but pricey, tea and coffee aren't expensive though, good toilet facilities if you're over 50 ! lots of light aircraft and helicopters taking off and landing, go there on any Wednesday between 10.30am and 2pm and the...
