Overland Motorcycle Preparation Workshop

XT660 getting some expert attention with Metal Mule Ltd

Domestic chores still need to be done...

A reminder - this is a free service run by bikers for bikers. We do not offer commercial services or MOTs but if you are stuck, touring in the area and need some help and support then give us a ring. If we are not out on the bikes or overseas we try and help :)

Is there a better way to end a hard days work in the office?

Great to see the project bike coming together

Hand tools to the rescue

XT660 inbound... getting the spanners ready

222,222 reaches with some minor struggles...

Thank goodness it was only half full...

Some tips on packing....

Great to see the Rugged Roads accessory in action - a simple and practical improvement to your CRF

Two of the best bikes ever made just trundling into each other on a ride out in Austria... some refurbishment due on my silver GSA this spring - keep an eye on the workshop page as we strip and refinish the rear subframe, forks and shocks ready for the summer

Shared toolkit designed to cope with almost any roadside fixable problem you might get on a long distance trip on the CRF. Remember you only need the tools you know how to use...

A birthday surprise from Metal Mule! what a fantastic honour to be one of the teams Ambassadors - with equipment like this, the job is a pleasure. Thank you everyone and looking forward to the next big trip, lugging my gear around in your gear.

Could not agree more - been through some torrental rain the last few weeks and all my gear is as dry as a bone

First little problem with the CRF, oil tracking down the LHS Crankcase Breather, not a showstopper, just need to keep an eye on the oil level and fix the breather in Krackow

Route 69...

Beautiful rainbow colours in the full titanium arrow system fitted to this CRF1000
