I've never forgotten that puncture 😁 I was riding back country California with Lance Thomas. Great fun to ride with.
But four nails! A first & and last I hope!
Nail gun we decided. Must have bounced out of the back of a pickup truck, for me to pickup🤪

Backroads Pyrenees. So much fun up there 😊 If you are heading to Europe, suggest you make time for this area.
Unpaved, gravel, and dirt roads in the Pyrenees often reach altitudes between 6,500 and 9,000 feet.

That feeling when you come over the brow of a hill, and there spread before you is the next set of smiles, 'I didn't know that' moments, challenges, and so often, pure fun.

One of the things I like about the ABR Festival is that they strive to make it better still. For 2026:
*15% more spent on posh loos & hot showers
*2nd supermarket
*expanding the Quieter Camping area .
*new bars

I've always liked this photo of Birgit happily bimbling along on her '72 BMW R60/5. Year 5 of the RTW trip.
This is Namibia and the area is the Spitzkoppe Mountains. Absolutely beautiful. We'd not seen a soul for days. Nice.

1996 – One skinny dude with the quite incredible Blyde River Canyon (now Motlatse River) behind him.
At 26k long, after the Grand Canyon and Fish River Canyon, this is the third largest canyon in the world. Yes, it really is magnificent!

Down on the coast in Peru. For me, it doesn't get much better than this. A room with a view 😁
Very handy for a bit of bike work too. That shade was great to do a bit of maintenance under. Not a hint of a breeze so oil change & valve clearances that day.

I’m delighted to have been invited to present & book sign at the ABR Festival again.
Riders travel from all over the world to get to it. There’s loads going on every day in this beautiful venue with a wonderful amount of space. It’s a buzz!

It's a simple thought. I really don't want to be at my desk today. Do you get those days? I would like to be away riding somewhere like this again!
I'm telling myself to be patient 😁

Backroads Corsica. We'd taken a turn down this gravel travel because it was there, we had plenty of time and of course, we were on bikes.
No traffic. Just birds of prey wheeling above us and cactus loaded heavily with almost ready to eat fruit.

Random #motophoto time. It's on the chilly side here today so I've been mentally warming myself up by looking at hot motorcycle pictures 😁
This one's from Death Valley. Yep, I feel warmer now!

Random #motophotography time. This shot jumps out at me because trails like this are my happy place.
No traffic, nothing predictable, and surrounded by scents. Eucalyptus, pine, hot earth... Let's add hot engine to the mix too 😊

What was Africa like to ride from Alexandria in Egypt down to Cape Town in 1992?
'Into Africa' is full of the drama, the surprises, the risky bits (there were a 'few') & the laughter. Africa is a continent full of incredible riding & fun.

This photo gave me a grin just now. Virginia a while back. Such lovely back roads. I was riding with Mark Carrera who knows them like the back of his hand!
Cheers for showing me around Mark. I look forward to the next time. 👍👍👍
