I've had my ER6-n for 4 months and am very happy with it although it is my first bike for half a century so I have nothing to compare it with. I chose it because I am very impressed with it as a design solution to providing what is essential but with no superficial bling. Thus it appeals to my ...

This appeared in a stock market traders forum but it deserves a place here:

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand - strawberries in the other, body thoroughly ...

Thanks for the welcome, folks.

I am a little doubtful if I have done the right thing as I put it down yesterday. Can't figure why as I was going at a sedate speed round a corner I use every day. Another rider who saw the event said it looked as if I had copped some gravel but there wasn't much ...

Diversion therapy

My lady of half a century has gone into care so I needed some diversion therapy and bought an ER6-n which is the first bike I have had for over 50 years.

* Seat was a bit hard, but nothing that couldn't be fixed with a lambswool cover;

I am what would be classed as a very old fart and thus have a much modified prostate. I gave it an easier time by peeling back the seat cover on my ER6-n and cutting a ...
