Extending My Perception
I have been riding around for the last two weeks with the official Kawasaki mirror extensions for Karma (my ER-6F/Ninja 650R). So, what do I think of them?

AAI 2008 Mini Fun Run
Well, I feel much better now having just taken part in my first ‘ride out’ of 2008. The weather may have been better, with us having to brave rain, hail stones and snow but it was well worth it! The organisers of the Annual Across Ireland (AAI) event put this on for 2 main reasons.…
