I’m a former tech CEO who stepped away from the fast pace of the corporate world and moved into property investing, giving myself more time and a bit more balance in life.
With that flexibility, I’ve been able to reconnect with a passion that’s been with me for years: motorcycles. Riding has always been my escape and the place where everything feels simple again. So here I am, sharing that part of my life – telling stories about the bikes I love and the adventures they lead me to.
As mentioned in my intro, I’ve created the personal brand, KILN MOTO to bring my motorcycle journey to life through posts, stories and visuals. I want to share the moments and experiences that shape my connection to motorcycle culture.
Living in the UK means I’m never far from great roads and landscapes, from the coastlines of Cornwall to the Scottish Highlands. But the place that feels most like home on two wheels is the Peak District, with some of the best riding roads in the country.
I’m involved in the UK motorcycling scene – joining rides, attending events, and meeting people who share the same passion. It makes every ride that bit better.
With my bikes beside me, I’ll keep exploring the UK and of course head further whenever I can.

CURRENT BIKES
My daily rider is a Triumph Tiger 1200 Rally Pro, it’s of course my go-to machine for long-distance trips too.
For something lighter and more playful, I ride a custom Honda CRF300L—perfect for country lanes, and off-road exploration thanks to its agility and easy handling. I’ve added the likes of Rally Raid suspension and a number of other trick components to give my CRF a little more in the way of capability.
I also transformed a classic 1978 Honda CB750K into a café racer – a vintage favourite that reminds me of motorcycling’s rich history. Whether I’m tinkering with it or out for a ride, it always brings me joy and a strong sense of nostalgia.
Finally, the newest addition to the garage is my another custom but this time it’s a Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC. Now don’t let the scrambler moniker fool you, this is a big, heavy bike that I have no plans to take off road. It’s my bike for sunny blasts out and a trip to the pub and certainly not one I take out in the rain, I’ll save that for the Tiger and the CRF.
