I’m a man who likes to keep it simple and multifunctional – and that means I’ve had my trusty paper map of the UK – just 99p from Morrisons, for many years now. It’s followed me from car to bike and although it’s lost half its cover all the key bits are still there.

Honda 1200 Crosstourer first ride review
04 May 2012
