    Here's the backstory about our show.

    Once a week we get together to work on our adventure bikes. Between us
    we've biked all over the world - Richie, Pete and Trent have done the
    big overland trip from Europe to Asia and even on to New Zealand, and
    other travels include South America and Australia. Between us we ride
    assorted BMWs, KTMs, Ducatis, a Cagiva Elefant (mine) and a
    Multistrada.

    We all have a few good stories to tell, and also have hands-on
    experience both preparing our bikes for big trips, and then keeping
    them running on the road. So we reckoned we might as well get the
    camera out and make a show of it.

    We are trying to keep an amateur feel to things, while making it
    genuinely informative and interesting, both about the mechanical side
    of the equation and motorcycle travel generally. Trent is a motorbike
    mechanic so there's at least one person who knows what they're doing!

    Future episodes will feature a KTM 950 stripped back pretty much to
    the frame, how to 'break the bead' and remove a tyre and tube,
    steering head bearing replacement, electrics, wheel disassembly and
    spoke replacement ... you get the idea.

    Would love for you to take a look - if only to giggle at our
    monogrammed overalls - and drop a comment on the site. Also check out
    the Beer Fridge blog that is part of the site, where we'll be posting
    our musings and asides.

    Feel free to forward this to anyone you think would be interested.

    That explains the weekly maintenance schedule, then.

    Nice one ... we say in the garage that KTM stands for KonTinuous
    Maintenance!

    But hey, how is posting something about motorcycles, written by a
    motorcyclist, to a motorcycle newsgroup, classed as spam by you?

    Shall I let you get back to reading the other posts here, which seem
    to be mostly about dodgy watches for sale, handbags and some guy
    having sex with his dog?

    Aah, you are all very good, thanks for the feedback. Our second
    episode is in the works.

    By the way, there are three Kiwis on the show but I'm from Australia.
    Ah well, OK, I'll admit, it _IS_ just the third island of New Zealand.

    Are the videos playing OK where everyone is seeing them from?

    The guy DID say spam - but no grudges held ...

    Post at the bottom, there's a good chap.

    Why not do an out and about feature for your next episode and toddle up
    to Derbyshire next month for UKRM's BOSM.

    Eek, sorry about that, almost as heinous a crime as thinking CB100's
    and SL125's shared the same basic engine ;-)
