The name 990 is very well known in the motorcycle industry. It is a name that puts any shivers down your spine, makes you stop what you are doing and wait for that noise, that bark and the rider on the back wheel. Seems like the new 990 motor has a lot to live up to, doesn’t it? KTM originally […]
An interesting statement to start off with. Trust in the North. Why would I simply trust the North? I think it maybe has to do with a compass always pointing North and it will always lead you in the correct direction? Now, the Husqvarna 901 Norden. A different approach to “trusting the North” and it is a very different looking […]
It has been a second or two since we last spoke and I am sure that wherever you may be reading this, a bit of a control alt delete from time to time and to relax always helps! We are currently going into, what seemed like a very long overdue summer and this is riding weather. As we plan the […]
As I sit here in a shop, I look out to the sky to see what is winter in full swing and that means rain and cold temperatures with heavy winds. Definitely not the motorcycling weather we like to ride in! Until times get better, let’s talk about bikes as we normally do! Right… boring stuff first. 160hp. Semi-Active suspension. V-Twin. Brembo […]
KTM. Those 3 letters make a name that is becoming familiar with the mainstream, about time, and it is slowly but surely creeping into everyone’s hearts. You either own one in some way, whether it is a dirty bike or a road one or you have a friend who rides one or a friend of a friend use to own […]
In the mid to late 1950, the FIAT brand decided that they would be clever and introduce a small city car that could carry 4 people. Really? Small, city and 4 in the same sentence? Nonetheless, they did and appeared a little 500cc 2 cylinder motor. Not fast, not bound to break any records but just what the gents over […]
Time for something a little different to bikes. Cars are also a passion of mine and have been since I could first see colours, apparently. I mean, it was destiny considering my mom was dicing another car while pregnant with me or the fact that my dad raced while I was growing up and that race day on Sunday was […]
It has been yesterday since I have written a little blog. I apologise for the delay, but a lot has happened since we last spoke. Moved back to a familiar orange company, KTM and much much more that has kept my mind busy. NO EXCUSES I TELL YA! I am back doing what I love and have found the love […]
Let’s start off with a little bit of a history lesson! A little brand was formed in 1984 and that venture was with Honda, yes the big Japanese motor brand, and the rest was history. Hero Honda was formed and slowly but surely grew a presence in India. That lead to the name becoming a family name, a mode of transport, […]
A track day is fun. A track day is exciting. A track day teaches you. All the words that you hear from people who have previously done it but as per normal, we as humans know best and think its a race rather than a learning curve. Turns out, it was a bit different to what I was expecting. This […]
