Motorbike Articles

Riding my Suzuki GSX-1250FA sports/tourer or my Triumph Speed Triple RS motorcycle brings a great sense of freedom and danger. The exhilaration you get, heightens your senses and brings with it an awareness that you are more alive!

This year, 2024, I have added a Honda NX500 Adventure Crossover motorcycle to my collection. I plan to use it on the hills and trails of the Lothian and Borders.

I tend to write down everything I read about motorbikes (well mostly) and post it on my web. It keeps the 'old' brain ticking over! These are articles about my learning to ride a motor bike, passing my tests and my ongoing experiences and aspirations as a biker.

When I passed my motorcycle test in 2014 at the age of 65 Years, I treated myself to a brand new Suzuki GSX-1250FA Motorcycle and rode it out of Saltire Motorcycles in Edinburgh, Scotland - the company who trained me.

One requires a new challenge; a brand new motorcyle. In 2018, I visited the Edinburgh Triumph Dealership and took out the Triumph Street Triple RS and the Triumph Speed Triple RS motorcycles for test rides.

I was fed up during the winter period and with those rain soaked days during the summer in Scotland when my sports bikes were off the road. I also had a hankering to head over the B roads, rough trails, and the green lanes of the Lothian and Borders in Scotland. I figured that a midrange adventure bike would provide the solution. In 2023, I visited the Edinburgh Honda Dealership and after test riding a Honda CB500X, I placed an order for the 2024 replacement, the new Honda NX500 Motorcycle.
