New Lenovo L430

At last we have moved into the 21st Century with the Council furnishing us with Win 7 Lenovo laptops. Only days before Microsoft cease updates for XP and support is switched off - not that you would notice as Microsoft support is non-existent in any case.

The L430 is about £600 on the Lenovo website, variable prices from resellers.

After a trip to the FIM Rally in the Czech Republic in 1995 with a riding partner on a Suzuki Savage, I had begun to think that although not actually my cup of tea, with real perseverance, these bikes could be more than 'canteen cowboy' outfits. Near Loch Ness So it was with a bit of trepidation that I picked the bike up from Ken Fulton, the SOC's magazine Editor (at the time), who had in turn ...
