I’ve completed many moto tours but none brought me as much joy as touring Japan. In Japan I was always alone. Not just on the bike but when enjoying a viewpoint, eating a meal in a restaurant or sitting around at a small port waiting for a ferry. Yet I […]

Greece

Whilst I dislike the long haul of flying to Europe and always swear never again, it is a part of the world still with twisty tarmac I want to ride. But I needed something to convince me to travel so far again. I’ve ridden the alps which are scenic but […]

14 days with the BMW R1300RT

I rode a BMW R1300RT for my tour in Canada and have gathered some thoughts about it. I rented the BMW R1300RT from Cycle BC in Vancouver. The bike was almost new but was missing a few features. No radar module so no adaptive cruise control or emergency braking or […]

It has been three years since my last ride in North America during which time I have been thinking where else I might tour in that part of the world. I have seen some of the USA and might ride more of it one day but there is a big […]

Thin Air, Full Throttle, by Rajeev Bagga I did not know what this book was about before grabbing it for Kindle, I just wanted something to read on another long flight and saw it promoted by motorcycle travel writer Spencer James Conway. Turns out this is a guide book to […]

Regular Tour Items

Warren — Tue, 07 Jul 2026 12:12:22 +0000

Packing for my next overseas ride I know off by heart almost everything which I will take with the only major choice being either my laminated Merlin rider gear for mild weather or my cordura Merlin rider gear if heading into hot weather. Then it’s two pairs of Gore-Tex gloves […]
