When you’ve been a social media influencer (or an idiot with a a camera, as I like to call it) for a while, exciting opportunities tend to come your way. Thanks to a prior tour with Wheels of Morocco and a subsequent good rapport with the company owner, Greg, I...
The Trail and Adventure Motorcycle Podcast (TAMP) has been making waves lately. Every time I check my socials, Clive usually boasts about their rankings, whether it’s hitting the ‘top 5 of this chart’ or ‘top 3 of that.’ And, it’s...
I made a return to the TAMP podcast, but this time the chat was all about motorcycle first aid, a subject that you should all know a little bit about. Clive reached out and wanted us to “cover everything,” which initially struck me as potentially dull for...
I believe that the concept of ‘adventure’ is a profoundly personal experience. Austin Vince, as discussed in his TAMP episode, argues for an element of peril, but I see it as subjective. Whether you’re navigating through Iraq on a motorcycle or...
Bruce, the renowned TeapotOne, reached out to me after my name was tossed around by a few folks, inviting me to join him for a chat on his Bru Time podcast. What’s the setup? Well normally for these things you get a bit of a heads-up of what’s going to be...
Riding on dirt riding has been my mainstay for the past five years, and I can confidently say, it’s nothing short of awesome. The allure lies in the continual challenge – just when you think you’ve nailed it, the next rut will lob you into a hedge just to...
I was back on the Trail and Adventure Motorbike Podcast, this time for some firm education. What was discussed? Well, in the battle of big bikes vs small bikes, in summary, big bikes rule. That’s the key takeaway. Wandering the trails, attempting to be...
Typically, I embark on my bike adventures, packing a pannier, loading up my bike, and setting off to glamorous destinations like sunny Italy… or not-sunny Wales. However, after Wheels of Morocco’s company owner Greg reached out, inviting me to join one of...
In 2021 I had the pleasure of attending the Adventure Bike Rider Festival at Ragley Hall. I caught up with friends, enjoyed a few beverages containing yeast and, of course, got covered in dirt a few times tearing up (riding sensibly on) the awesome adventure trail....
Full HD was a project conjured-up in the initial lockdown, a brainchild of my good friend Aled and me. The ambitious plan involved taking a 1992 Harley-Davidson Sportster, transforming it into a rally bike, and then racing it. For those of you closely following the...
I recently had the pleasure of participating in my inaugural motorcycle podcast, and it was an absolute blast. Clive Barber, the main man behind it, has been persistently nudging me to join him and Noel on the TAMP podcast for a chat. I kept postponing it, aiming to...
For those that don’t know, I managed to break my shoulder last year whilst rescuing some orphans from a burning building* back in July, which put me out of action for a while, so I left the internet for a bit and went on a sabbatical. The most annoying thing about the...
A few months back, I penned an article for Motor Cycle News (MCN) about my Nepal adventure, featured in their inspiring Dream Ride section – the main highlight in the paper each week intended to motivate people to embark on their own adventures. It seems the piece...
YouTuber, Instagrammer, influencer, vlogger – call it what you want. If you stick around in whatever corner of the internet I seem to occupy, you’ll find yourself presented with some pretty cool opportunities. Now, I don’t see myself as a writer (the irony...
I have a website now. Why? To be honest, I don’t know really know, but all the cool kids seem to have one and I wanted in. I’ve actually had this site lying dormant for a while now, like 2 years, but I’ve never really found a reason to release it until now… What are...
