As the channel picks up some speed, I hit that nuisance we all get sometimes. Trolls. But this morning's contribution made me laugh. Lowest effort ever.
Simply posted that motorcycles are machines and naming them is gay.
Not sure whether to 🙄 or 😂.

When you start riding, everyone has advice — most of it loud, and some of it wrong.
It's not bad intentions, it’s that myths spread faster than miles behind the handlebars.
So I pull a few apart: where they're wrong, and what the road teaches instead.

Today I was filtering and a elderly gentleman moved his car towards the centre to cut me off. I went around the outside and continued on my way, giving him a cheery wave to thank him. He shook his fist at me. I consoled myself with the thought that soon he'd be dead.

Cold. Wet. Still worth it.
A long, soaked ride from Wisemans Ferry to Junee — lost a mic, found great roads, and remembered why even the miserable days are good ones.

Today was rainy and cold. Frigid at one point. Tell you what though...the Scott suit held up well. Not toasty, but not frozen. The Himalayan, of course, also held up well. Such a reliable thumper.
Even though I was wet and cold, it was still enormous fun. 😀

Good first day's ride. Though Billie will need a new steering bearing when we get home. Realised on the ride that this one is getting a little worn.
Also came across this art deco theatre in regional NSW.

Beautiful bike. Wrong choice.
We don’t always buy the bike that fits our riding — we buy the one that fits our fantasy. I have.
This week I unpack why we chase the wrong motorcycle, and what it teaches us.

It is my avowed aim to change Billie's oil one day and not spill a single drop of oil. This was actually one of my better ones.

We’re told to optimise everything — steps, emails, sleep.
But the best rides happen when nothing’s optimised at all.
Motorcycles aren’t transport. They’re experience machines.

Went out for a ride on Dalma's bike Shanti today. Hadn't been ridden in maybe 4 months. Still started first go and rode like a champ. And Billie has been growing more techy tech and it's nice to ride a bike that's simple again. #motorcycle #motosky

Pretty part of the world where I live. But I've gotta tidy yesterday's wiring job for the Aoocci. Looks like a plate of spaghetti behind that thing.

New video's up. Field review of the Carpuride 720 Pro.
Not a shill piece. Road test first, argument second: does a dedicated screen beat a phone on a bike?

Man, the difference between the Aoocci and the Carpuride... Carpuride is easy... plug and play. Put it on the bike, plug into the USB, and go. The Aoocci is a self-contained android tablet with cameras and TPMS but requires a *lot* of wiring.
Carpuride review out tonight.

Put some new tyres on Billie. I had Pirelli Trail 2s, but they were a misnomer. Road tyres. Bad on any kind of off-road. And almost impossible to get off without a machine. Replaced them with Shinko 805s.

65,000km on a Himalayan, and I thought nothing could tempt me. Then the dealer handed me a Meteor 350. Smooth, comfy, a little too charming… Could I really swap my trusty Billie for this little cruiser?
