At the moment, my garage is home to three very different motorcycles. Each bike delivers its own kind of ride, its own personality, and its own reason for being there.
Current Bikes
Yamaha XT500 | BMW R1300 GS | Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC | HONDA CRF300L
Yamaha XT 500
My 1977 XT500 isn’t a concours restoration, and that’s exactly how I like it. The frame and bike are genuine 1977, but it’s running a 1983 engine, so it’s not quite a matching-numbers machine. Honestly, I’m perfectly happy with that. I bought this bike to get out there and ride it, not to have it sitting in a showroom.
The XT500 has always had a bit of a reputation. A proper old-school trail bike, with a big thumper single-cylinder engine, and kickstart-only simplicity and overall very little fuss.
And behind that rugged character is a fair bit of racing history, too.
BMW R1300 GS TE ASA
My latest purchase is the BMW R1300 GS, equipped with Automated Shift Assistant (ASA) and Adaptive Ride Height. This is BMW’s latest flagship adventure motorcycle, designed to be lighter, more powerful, and more technologically advanced than the previous R1250GS.
Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC
This 2024 Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC was modified from new by a Triumph dealership in Scotland. When i saw it, I just had to have it.
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 my Africa Twin and CRF.
HONDA CRF300L
My 2022 Honda CRF300L has been upgraded with a range of aftermarket parts to improve its off-road performance and make it ideal for green laning adventures. Lightweight, reliable, and easy to handle, it’s the bike I depend on year-round – even through the winter months.

Honda CB750 Café Racer
I transformed this classic 1978 Honda CB750K into a café racer – a vintage favourite that reminds me of motorcycling’s rich history. Whether I was tinkering with it or out for a ride, it always brought me joy .
Take a look at some of the photos of my CB750K café racer, captured on a trip to Manchester.

Triumph Tiger 1200 Rally Pro
My 2024 Triumph Tiger 1200 Rally Pro, was my go-to machine for long-distance trips too.
Decked out in my Mosko Moto Panniers, it was a beautiful machine. Sadly it was a little too tall and I had to let it go.

Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro
My 2021 Triumph Tiger 900Rally Pro, was my first large adventure bike.
It was equipped for longer trips to Europe and covered 9 countries in 9 days on its last tour before I traded it in for the 1200 version.

BMW R9T
My BMW R nineT was the bike that brought me back into motorcycling after many years away. Its classic café racer styling blended with modern design made it a real head-turner, while the torquey 1200cc boxer engine delivered the punch that made every ride exciting. She was a beauty.
