A tradition of some years now... J. P Weigle, rider, constructeur, father and host of French Fender Day, has for the past few years done a virtual FFD. Previously it was a real life meeting of like minded friends over in the USA. Clearly as much we’d love to go along and join in the …

Once again the stars aligned. A perfect combination of weather, bikes and people. The chippy run happened! A late August bout of dry weather saw our local Cheshire lanes drying out and turning to dust, this always has me reaching for the allen keys, twitching to remove those seven bolts that free the bike from …
The last weeks weather has hardly been inspiring, the near torrential rain has the effect of flushing any enthusiasm right down the drain, both literally and metaphorically in my case.

It’s Thursday May 6th 2021, I’m shivering whilst sheltering inside the porch entrance to a church that was first erected in the eleventh century. It’s now snowing, oh no wait... It’s hailing, hailstones the size of peas! I’m glad that someone built this church here all those centuries ago... hang on a minute, the suns …

In 1996 Goran Krupp rode his bike from his home in Stockholm, all the way to Everest and attempted a self-supported summit; unfortunately his quest was not entirely successful and he was forced to turn back a mere 300ft from the summit, testament to an iron discipline that I think made the whole enterprise even …
