Sometimes the Universe says,

Monday 19th May 2025

Sunday, May 18, 2025. I was 30 minutes out from Lancaster at 8:20 this morning when - nothing. No engine noise, no throttle response, no acceleration. Pulled the clutch in and coasted to the side. Several minutes later - it started with no apparent issues. Good fuel, carburetor operating correctly. Good throttle response, acceleration. Several miles later. Nothing. 

I don't know if there's a way to predict when a coil is about to go bad. They just do.

Maybe next year.

Until then, keep the rubber on the road and your knees in the breeze.

first time

Monday 28th Apr 2025

I've been addicted to motorcycles and motorcycling since childhood. I didn't buy my first motorcycle until I was in my early 20s. 

Nevertheless, like my social life my motorcycle riding has been more solo than with large groups of riders. I prefer to take in the world around me than to have the distractions of a large group of motorcyclists. It's just my thing.

The Lancaster ride is perfect. Only 12 other riders so far. 

I'm Riding for Men's Health in The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride

Sunday 27th Apr 2025 On Sunday the 18th of May 2025, I'm riding in The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride with fellow men and women across the globe to raise funds and awareness for prostate cancer and men's mental health on behalf of Movember. Men die on average 6 years earlier than women and for largely preventable reasons. The number of men that are suffering is growing, and we need to do something about that. So, before I press my tweed and polish my boots, I'm asking you to join me in raising funds and awareness for these causes by donating what you can for this meaningful cause and to help the men we love, live happier and healthier lives.
