Ok guys if you are going to gloat we need some photos. It is about +7 in Denmark and at this point last year it was about -20 so I am not complaining. I spent yesterday cleaning my motorbikes in the garden. Lovely and sunny all day. This is what Christmas should be like. Cold enough to know it...

12xu22. On the flat you can ride a Tonaro bike without power and they really shift. Obviously going uphill the weight of the motor and frame come into play. Jannie and I often ride our bikes without power as it extends the distances we ride. Here is Jannie testing my Enduro out. Tonaro...

OW::::::::OW::::::::::::OUCH........... He should have kept the bog standard bike. Steve

Not only is my Brooks comfortable it is without doubt the best looking saddle I have ever seen. Here is an intersting clip from Youtube about the Brooks saddles. BROOKS SADDLES - THE BLUES OF AN ICON OF CYCLING (1 of 2) - YouTube Steve

I can vouch for this. He has been a great help getting out Tonaros sorted so we now have 2 excellent bikes. His help has included sending spare parts to Denmark at his own expense and supplying an idiots guide to fixing a Tonaro. It was so good even this idiot could follow it. You will not find...

Sorry Mark 49.28 mph is not 50mph. But it is nice to see optimistic people in here who say you can have it because of air density. They are the same people who will tell you that Zola Budd and Greg Whatshisnameski(tennis player) were English. You will just have to wait until the summer and try...

We saw a notice in a local paper for a trade fair at a local disused water mill. We saw there was going to be a bike dealer wher you could have test rides on the electric bikes. We don`t need electric bikes but thought it would be fun trying one. The mill is in a big dip and any way out is...

We had a lovely sunny day in Denmark on Saturday. Unfortunately we could not go riding because we had guests over for lunch. Our lunches go on for about 5 hours and so it was dark when everyone left. It seems we have been engaged on pre christmas parties and dinners for weeks. I should be...

I think most of us would vote for what we have in the shed. Jannie and I both have different Tonaros and they tick all the boxes for us. They are cheap, reliable, good up hills and across all our local wood and farm tracks. They have good batteries and out longest ride up to now is 50...

Lynda, did you not see Jannie riding my Enduro without power and into the wind. She is a F1 rider. I was on my racer and was struggling to keep up. Tonaro Enduro-WITHOUT power - YouTube Steve

Hi Mark, as a motorcyclist I must admit that I don`t like the chopper look, in anything. But I think this would look really good as a trike if you fancy getting your welding gear out. Steve

There are lots in Denmark and Holland is packed with them. Steve

I live right next door to Germany and have had plenty of opportunity to ride BMWs. In all honesty, you could not give me one. When you go to the Dolomites or Alps, they are as common as muck and just as souless. Every man and his dog have one. As for Charlie Boredom and Ewan Mcgregor and their...

I have a quick release seat stem and my Brooks saddle often comes with me. I have also made some thin stainless steel wire strops at work. They are about 2m long with eyes pressed to 6 tons. They can be cut with bolt croppers but not with wire cutters. When I leave the bike I thread the strop...

I have had all sorts of motorbikes. My last bike was a Yamaha FZ6 sports bike. Nice little bike and we went on many trips including 2 up to Normandy from Denmark. I then bought my Moto Guzzi California 1100i and collected it in Yorkshire. The very first time I sat on it we were on the way to...

It is an interesting video and the comments at the bottom of it just reinforce what I keep saying, and that is that cyclists have to put their own house in order before accusing motorists of all evils on the road. You can forget about helmets because we are not obliged to wear them, it is a...

Hihihi, Yes thats what we are talking about, exactly right. The only thing that spoils it for me is the D lock and the black box on the bike. But that does not matter because it is not my money paying for it. But a good job. Flecc...I am lucky enough to have one of those huge transverse...

Flecc, I can see what you are saying but it can be a very fine line to balance on. Some of the vintage bikes are gorgeous and part of their charm is the fact that they are not made to go fast. The whole image of them is quiet rides in the country for picnics and summers day. If you then...

I have all the gear for road racing and I do use a lot of that when I am riding my electric bike because it is warm, comfortable and washes and dries quickly. Yes it does involve lycra but I ride the electric bike like an off road bike and I ride it quickly. The motor is off a lot of the time...
