Back from a magnificent road trip – in Spain and Portugal I was back home yesterday (Wednesday 09 October), from a fantastic road trip and one that quite easily makes my top three solo road trips.

Motorcycling in the Emerald Isle – make life a ride. Part 1. Last time I was in Ireland was just over a year ago, when I travelled there on my BMW F800R. That had been my fourth trip to Ireland in the 12 months prior to that. The shift in the weather and my wife’s […]
