My Mum always told me that the best things always come in small packages. Well, in the case of the KTM390 Adventure that old adage may ring true. Austrian manufacturer KTM needs no introduction. They are well known for their success in the Dakar rally, and for their growling large capacity, heavy weight, v-twin adventure bikes.

Sad to hear that the 2020 Bike Shed London Show has been cancelled due to the Corona Virus outbreak. You can read the details via the release on the Bike Shed Show website here. Such a shame as this is a great motorcycle event and the team behind it go all out to make it very special. I’m sad for them but I know this is the right thing to do and they will be back even stronger in 2021. I will be there as well!

As Automotive museums and collections go The Honda Collection Hall and Museum near Motegi race track in Japan is no-expense-spared-top-shelf-shit. We were lucky enough to pay the place a visit last month while we were in Japan for the Japanese MotoGP race at Motegi circuit. Just approaching the main building from the outside it’s clear that Honda mean business.

Last month while back in the UK I had the pleasure to spend a wonderful English spring/summer weekend at the 10th edition of the amazing Bike Shed London Show 2019. The show was held at the glorious Tobacco Dock in East London. If you are not up on things, and have not heard of The Bike Shed check it out here. The show is a wonderful extension of the Bike Shed spirit. A spirit that embraces the passion, and sheer joy of motorcycle culture.

If you are into your Ducati’s, or any motorcycles for that matter, then you must visit the Ducati Factory and Museum. The factory is located in Bologna (in Italy!). I was lucky enough to make a stop there last month. It’s a stunning space and you can see lots of care and passion has gone into setting it up. Nice!
