ABOUT ME

I’m Craig aka KILN MOTO – 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.

WHY KILN MOTO?

I created KILN MOTO as a personal brand and conduit 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.
For context – the KILN MOTO name is a nod to a lifelong love of bikes and my roots in the Potteries – where those early motorcycling obsessions first took hold.

In early 2026, I began volunteering as a Blood Biker for Shropshire • Staffordshire • Cheshire Blood Bikes, supporting the urgent transport of blood, medical supplies, and essential equipment between hospitals. It’s a role that combines responsibility, precision, and service – allowing me to contribute directly to patient care behind the scenes. Although it’s still new to me – being part of something that makes a real difference in critical moments has already been both humbling and deeply rewarding.

About Shropshire • Staffordshire • Cheshire Blood Bikes
An emergency volunteer service that transports blood products free of charge to all NHS hospitals across Shropshire, Staffordshire, and Cheshire.

Whether it’s in the early hours of the morning or late at night, when a hospital urgently needs blood, blood bikers are ready to respond. Their work helps hospitals avoid taxi costs that can reach up to £300 per trip for the same service. With support from the Nationwide Association of Blood Bikes, these savings can instead be directed toward higher-priority needs such as medical supplies that could help save lives.

To continue providing this vital service, SSCBB relies on the support of the local community.

STOKE-ON-TRENT, UNITED KINGDOM

I’m based in the centre of the UK, which means I’m never too far from great roads and landscapes – be it the English countryside, the hills and valleys of Wales, or the impressive Scottish Highlands.

However, the place that feels most like home on two wheels for me is the Peak District, with some of the best riding roads in the country, it’s great to have this just a short ride away.
