    Moving On

    I've been out for a couple of rides now on the AT and covered just over 200 miles of lanes all around south Somerset and Dorset. The DCT gearbox is quite incredible, it never needs me to change but I have enjoyed putting it to manual and using the paddles for a change. The riding position is...

    Moving On

    Thanks for the encouraging posts everyone. I'm looking forward to getting the AT but really not looking forward to handing in the S10. I did look at the Crosstourer and had a go on one but the weight of the bike is hideously high and that's the reason I got rid of the Varadero. Based on that...

    Moving On

    After having my thread moved to the whole of the world regarding the possibility of buying an AT DCT in the UK because of arthritis I have decided to go ahead and buy the Honda. I shall miss my S10 a lot, it had to be one of the best bikes I have ever owned but the comfort of the DCT means I...

    Has anyone else experienced arthritis?

    After some thought (this thought pattern started in May) I have decided to swap the old girl in for the AT DCT. I will sorely miss (literally) my S10 as it is a superb bike, one of the best I have ever owned but that DCT just means one less discomfort and ease of concentration. I just hope it's...

    Has anyone else experienced arthritis?

    That sounds interesting, I thought my 2014 ZE had the upgrade already, is there something else I'm not aware of?

    Has anyone else experienced arthritis?

    That does look fun but I really don't want to get to the scooter option too soon. I have started struggling since breaking two fingers on the hand last year. It's making the S10 clutch lever feel really heavy. Perhaps I'll have to bite the bullet and sell the pride and joy and get the AT.

    Has anyone else experienced arthritis?

    Seem to have age creeping in and have problems with a swollen left hand and fore arm, and no, I'm not left handed!! This is causing me to have problems with clutch use especially town/city work. I really don't want to sell my S10, I really like the bike and have it loaded with all the goodies...

    Anyone interested in a Wessex lane tour?

    Hello Mark, sorry to be a let down but I'm not able to get cover for this weekend so it stays with me, can't wander too far from work. With the way things are going I think this will have to be a 2017 thing for me, however Burt might still be around.

    That sounds great Burt, would be good to get round those lanes too. Pick a date and I'll try to make it. I can always do another in the spring.

    Proposed UK S10 meet - UK Owners club

    Isn't there one this weekend? ABR rally near Stratford? I did arrange a ride out down here but only had three others turn up; as it happened it was very good sized group for the lanes I used. I don't mind travelling to the south Midlands if another (not that I knew of the first) is arranged.
