MOTORCYCLE BLOGS

This motorcycle blogs section shares practical riding experience, clear advice, and honest opinions drawn from real time on the road. Alongside guides, reviews, and ride reports, these motorcycle blogs document my own personal motorcycle journey as it develops – including the trips I take, the bikes I ride, and the lessons learned along the way.

The motorcycle blogs cover motorcycle journeys, route write-ups, bike ownership, and riding gear, with a focus on what actually works for me, rather than marketing claims. If you are looking for motorcycle blogs that record real rides, review motorcycles and equipment from a rider’s perspective, and explore the everyday realities of motorcycling, this site aims to provide useful, straightforward information for riders planning trips, researching bikes, or simply wanting to get more out of riding on two wheels.

The Hidden Costs of Changing Adventure Bikes

Changing adventure motorcycles should feel like pure excitement, but the reality quickly follows: most of the gear from your previous bike will not fit the new one.

Why Selling Old Motorbike Parts Matters

I’ve always enjoyed working on my motorbikes, swapping parts and making upgrades to suit my riding.

Recently, I decided it was time to clear them out and do something about…

Adventure vs Sports Tourer: Which Is Best for Your Ride?

Sometimes the best touring bike isn’t the one that can go anywhere. It’s the one that fits where you actually go. But lately I’ve been questioning whether an adventure bike is actually the best fit for the way I tour, or whether a lighter sports tourer, would make more sense for real-world riding.

The Day I Witnessed Chaos at the British Motorcycle Grand Prix

The year was 1992, yet I still remember the excitement of that day clearly.

The search for a Honda XL600LM: A Classic Adventure Motorcycle

Some motorcycles stay with you long after you first see them. Not because they are the fastest or flashiest, but because they offer a style of riding that feels genuine and rewarding. For me, that motorcycle is the Honda XL600LMF, a classic adventure bike built for endurance and reliability.

Yamaha SDR200: A Chance Encounter with the Two-Stroke Motorbike I Never Forgot

Some bikes fade quietly into the background of your memory. Others never really leave. The Yamaha SDR200 belongs firmly in the second category for me.

The Rise of Chinese and Indian Adventure Bikes in the UK

Over the past two years, and especially through 2024 and 2025, the UK adventure bike market has exposed a simple truth.

More Winter Motorcycle Adventures in the Peak District

Less than a day after I’d written my last blog post, the forecasts stopped being theory and started becoming reality. Overnight, the Peak District was quietly transformed. Snow settled in thick, soft layers, muting the landscape and changing the familiar into something almost unrecognisable. Standing at the window last night brew in hand, watching flakes…

Winter Motorcycle Adventures: A Unique Challenge

There’s something quietly brilliant about riding a motorcycle in winter. Most people pack the bike away once the gritters come out and the mornings turn white, but that’s exactly when it starts to get interesting. Yes, it’s more dangerous. There’s no point pretending otherwise. Cold tyres, frozen fingers, and the ever-present risk of ice mean…

Taming the Tiger 1200 Rally Pro

It’s hard to believe over a year has passed since I brought home my 2024 Triumph Tiger 1200 Rally Pro. Stepping up to Triumph’s flagship was always going to be a different experience altogether. Bigger, heavier and far more imposing, the Tiger 1200 demanded respect from day one.

Back on the Bikes After a Broken Hand

Back in June, I entered an enduro practice day event thinking it would be just another solid day on the bike. Instead, it became the day I managed to break my hand. It didn’t feel real at first – just a sharp jolt, a bad landing, and that weird moment when you know something isn’t…

KILN MOTO – THE NEXT CHAPTER

For the past few years, I’ve been creating motorcycle content in the evenings and on weekends under the moniker KILN MOTO, all whilst working full time as a CEO in tech.

Why I bought a Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC

I’ve been tempted by the Triumph Scrambler for some time, originally I sat on the XE model but it was just too tall for me. So when Triumph launched the Scrambler X with a lower seat height, I jumped at the chance to test ride it. However, I was underwhelmed with the bike after Triumph…
