End of the year. Community video about subscribers and bluesky and how you've shaped the channel.
And also the next overseas trip. What fun! In 48 hours we're on the plane. And I've just started packing! 😬

What makes a motorcycle a cult bike?
I test the idea using the Himalayan 411 — with detours through the BMW R80 GS, KLR650, Moto Guzzi V7, and the Honda Cub.
This isn’t nostalgia or specs.
It’s about why some bikes refuse to disappear.

Series of 40 degree days has limited my riding. Might be lower today.

Today, Dalma takes on the motorcycle industry.
After losing 25kg, Dalma needed to replace all her gear. This ended up being a three-hour odyssey and a lesson in how poorly the industry designs gear for women.

Interesting. I did a little work in sensory tourism when I was an academic. This ties in nicely. We experience the world through our senses, humans mostly through eyes. But riding a bike is complete sensory overload. So smell would be part of that.
Maybe a video on it... 🤔

Riding temporarily rewires my ability to smell things.
It's weird how an entire sense just disappears behind a mess of HEPA filters and recirculated, temperature controlled, dehumidified air and you don't even realize it's gone until you get out of the car

I really enjoyed this, in terms of what riding a motorcycle does to you mentally ... it's not the silly throw-away line about riding being therapy, but what happens when you ride.

I always seem to travel in somewhat extremes of weather. Riding to Tamworth in 35°C (95°F).
Still had fun. 😀

Weirdly, in the week after I released a video about too much gear, I'm with Dalma in a shop buying new gear because she's lost weight and none of her gear fits her any more. And shopping for women's gear is an experience in itself. #motorcycle #motosky

Apparently I don’t own “a bit of bike gear”. I own a soft furnishings department.
In this video I empty the wardrobe, roast my dumbest purchases, and work out how many tanks of fuel I blew on jackets I never wear.

I made a pretty good lime and chilli barramundi today. And kept the skin intact and crispy. So that's a win.
I'd post a photo but we ate it.

A ride leaves you with a handful of frozen moments. The bits your mind hangs onto when you get home. It's how psychologists say we experience the road.

Adventure used to mean stepping into the unknown.
Now it often means managing the known.
Something quieter this wk, how comfort, tech and expectation changed the ride.
If you care about the feeling of riding, not the features list, this one’s for you.

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.
