Just updated to 2.2.1 and as far as I can see, everything works as it should. It is always a bit nerve-wracking updating these dynamic sites, sometimes there is a problem and it can take ages to resolve. To be fair, I have had no difficulty yet with Wordpress and the plugins I have been [...]

I made my first trip to a regional wings meeting yesterday. I live just about equidistant in time (there must be a word for that?) from Capital Wings, Kent Wings and Surrey Wings but as I live in Kent (by about 100 yards) and as Aylesford where the Kent Wings meet was the easiest to [...]

Well that is a kind term for an elderly member of the female sex who nearly killed me on the M25 on the way home from Wales. I was in the outside lane, overtaking and abreast with her when she decided she needed to use the space I occupied to overtake the car in front [...]

The stock seat suits me just fine and the heated seat and grips are very nice to have when it’’s cold.
The large information panel on my bike is great for reading without [...]

That is how far I managed on my first proper tour with the Goldwing. Having got the first service out of the way, I watched the weather forecasts and as soon as they looked halfway decent I headed up the A1 to the North York Moors.
