Staff Blog: Well, that’ll be autumn then!

Riding in this morning I’ve had to give in and fully kit up in cordura.

Looking out of the bedroom window at 7.30 it was really quite murky and living in the middle of a housing estate if it’s murky outside our house I know it’s going to be worse heading towards the A1. I knew it was time to give up on the riding jeans and dig out the full cordura kit.

I’ve not relinquished the summer gloves yet as I don’t want to become too wrapped up too soon, as I’m planning to ride through winter I’ll have no extra layers to trade up to if I’m not careful.

Office Manager and centre of the MCN universe - Over my twenty plus years working for MCN, I’ve had the pleasure of being part of the best motorcycling family in the business. Passing my test in 2005, I’ve been part of the MCN Long Term Test fleet, testing a mix of machines, from my first Kawasaki ER-6n, through to the Ducati Diavel, and pretty much all genres in between. I love nothing more than loading my bike up with kit and disappearing off for a solo adventure. Over recent years I’ve taken solo tours to Scotland, Southern Ireland, France, Venice and Berlin. All of which have been great fun and whet my appetite for future riding jaunts.
