Why Buddhism?
There’s always been a connection between biking and Buddhism. I can’t explain exactly what it is, but as I grow older, as I spend more time navigating the streets and avenues of this life, I continually find myself bumping against blockages and and dead ends confined, and defined (that wasn’t mean to rhyme) by organised … Continue reading

Advanced Riding
Just been on my first observed run for quite a while… a really nice guy called Phil Roethenbaugh took me out, and after a quick chat in the Tescos car park we hit the road. I’ve not ridden ‘advanced style’ for over three months. I was amazed how much of it has actually integrated itself … Continue reading
Back in the USS… um K?
I’m back in blighty – not only that but I’m back in London as it all seems to be kicking off. Grabbed a copy of MCN on the way out of the country a few weeks ago and caught a large article proclaiming to be organising a ride through Central London to let the government … Continue reading
Back to Work
I’ve been lying low for a bit and the other two have been out and about on their bikes so all in all a busy period where not much has changed as far as my Africa Twin is concerned. I’ll say sorry in advance as this bike has turned into an obsession. I’ve spent the … Continue reading
Home…
… ahhh the wonderful constant warmness that is a shower that works. The amazing one touch bliss of Sky TV, and the soothing pleasure of a computer monitor and keyboard in English… it can only mean one thing. I am home.

It’s full of locals chewing the fat, drinking extremely strong coffee, with extremely strong cigarettes, whilst a dog sniffs around their feet being greatly ignored by all but me. Other … Continue reading
The final stretch
Well this is it, the last but one post on the road. I’m playing with the idea that once I’m back in Britain it’s hardly ‘on the road’, but I’m going to get every last post out of this blog!France was a delight again, even when you take into account that in Northern territory the land is … Continue reading
People are wonderful
I had decided that this trip was going to be a solitary one. I’ve not been approached by anyone who wasn’t after something, and the people I’ve approached have either recoiled in horror at this massive Welsh man or thought I was after something. So last night came as a pleasant surprise. As Ted Simon … Continue reading
Thank you.
This being the first time I’ve managed to log on since Morocco I just wanted to say thank you to the people who have left comments for me on the time to come home post. Firstly, Louise, I’ll be collecting that hug so be prepared. Stace and Patrick, thanks for the support guys I couldn’t … Continue reading
