  • 900+ Miles and the 1st Service Over…

    ‘Karma’ (my Kawasaki) has been broken in. It has been a relatively quick (& fun) process. Keeping the riding style smooth and relaxed has benefited us both. Giving me more chance to enjoy my journey while Karma will reap the benefits in the long term. My first two bikes (both second hand) needed a fairly…

  • Have Luggage…Will Travel

    The Givi hard luggage is fitted…at last! This ended up being some adventure and the most difficult of my accessories to fit. I originally just wanted the 2 side cases, as the single top box is never enough to meet my requirements. So imagine my surprise when I found out that you can not fit…

  • Always Use Lubricant!

    I have fitted the Scottoiler MK7 Universal Kit & the optional Dual Injector. Fitting is very straight forward. Though the instructions that come with products are very general, the Scottoiler website have guides available for specific motorcycle models, these are what I used for the installing of the Scottoiler to my Kawasaki ER-6F. It is…

  • Ermax Mudguards Fitted

    The Ermax mudguards have been fitted, front and rear, with very little trouble. Here is a brief summary. The easiest, in my opinion, is the rear hugger. Simply follow the instructions that come with the hugger and job should be done in 10 mins. Basically, you remove the chain guard (to be placed safely away…

  • If You Have The Time, I Have The Ride…

    Today I collected my stunning new Kawasaki ER-6F. Was this the motorcycle I originally wanted…no. I had intended to get her twin, the ER-6N, but after some hurdles (and maybe some pragmatism?) I ‘settled’ for the ER-6F. Now I have never liked the term ‘settled’ (think, ‘settled down’) as it seems to imply that you…

  • Tick…Tock…Tick…

    Well, for 5 weeks now I have been without a motorcycle! Funding for my new bike was required, so out with the old. The dealer told me that in 2 weeks my new bike would be ready for collection… Then the manufacturer announced the model was being updated, so the ’07 model was no longer…
