The very first blog

Feb. 19, 2025

Well…here goes nothing!!

I have no idea if this will be worth reading, but I’m writing it anyway.

I’ve been writing down my thoughts on motorcycling for a few decades, and specific instructions have been given to my son to burn all my journals upon my death! So suffice it to say that I have been afraid to share my writing with anyone!

I don’t know what this blog will be, but I hope it’ll be a place you’ll come to revel in Motorcycle Life, whatever that might mean to you.

I’m not in the motorcycle industry, I’m not a paid racer, I’m not riding my bike across the world and vlogging to my 1 000 000 strong fan base. I’m just a regular guy who loves to ride, and I try to fit as much riding into my normal life as I can. That means trips with my friends, 400km solo rides on weekend mornings, or just riding to and from work (that thing that keeps me from riding around the world and vlogging to my 1 000 000 strong fan base).

My favourite motorcycle writer is Peter Egan, whom some have hailed as the Walt Whitman of motojournalism. If I can write anything remotely as interesting or insightful as even the worst of Peter’s writing, I shall be truly thankful. And if you take the time to read any of what I’ve written, I shall be doubly thankful.
