Interested in Motorcycles? So are we! Rider Ramblings is about everything to do with motorcycles. It doesn’t focus on any one part. It will try to show you how to do things and give you information about “the why” as well. At the same time discussing daily (motorcycling) life.
Having ridden over 250,000 miles (400,000 km) in the UK and Europe on motorcycles since 1983. Worked as a Dispatch Rider in London, where we rode in and around London Monday to Friday and serviced and repaired our motorcycles every Saturday. Over 14 years alone of commuting to work in France, more than 125,000 miles, on a trusty Honda Deauville (NT700VA). Currently riding a Yamaha FJR1300AE. I don't own a car
Rider Ramblings discusses both daily events and motorcycles filmed and and narrated while riding through interesting scenery.
From accessories to enhance your ride, to training to enhance your skills and pleasure, to travel and places to visit. We’ll include entertaining and informative videos to help you

Erm. You may have noticed there was no video on Friday. I had it all ready to go before going on holiday and, forgot to upload it!
I am now back from holiday and the video should be live on Monday evening, once I've unpacked, had a refreshing beverage and uploaded it.

A motorcyclist in France has just posted this on Face de Book:
"Attention les amis, je me suis fait arrêter par la gendarmerie,les bandes réfléchissantes sur le casque c'est 90€ et 4 points"
He received a 90€ fine and 4 points on his licence for not having the reflective strips on his helmet.
Coming to France? Put the strips on your helmet...

Sorry but there's no video this evening. Hopefully, provided there are no more gotchas, there will be a video next Friday 9th April

I got back from Switzerland late last night, therefore this week's video will be out sometime over the weekend. I might put some footage (not on a bike) of Switzerland into the video.

A big thank you to all my subscribers and those that watch my videos.
This is a photo of my FJR at Chavot-Courcourt turned into a Christmas Card by the magic of AI.

Quick question.
Is anyone coming over to France, or to the EU, from the UK in the next 1-3 months? If so, would you be able to bring out a steering stem nut for me?
The company that supplies the special nut I require doesn't post outside of the UK. So, I would need to have the nut delivered to your address.
Let me know below (do *not* post your contact details).
Many thanks.
John

The Cowling and Front Stay video is taking a lot longer than expected. There are over 80 "assets" to go into the video (85 at the last count and still climbing). Each "asset" needs editing in some form before it can go into the video editing suite to create the final video. This is taking way, way longer than expected. Hopefully, the video will be released next Friday (30th May).
In the meantime, I have bought an item which may make the future videos better. It now arrives, according to FedEx, on Monday. I will do an unboxing and first use video on Tuesday and upload it for Wednesday as a "bonus" video.

This week's video will be released tomorrow morning, all being well. It's currently being edited.
My apologies for the delay.
