It’s a Long Way to go for a Bacon Butty
…and I only went out for a box of matches. Recently a fellow Elamite, because of the disappointment of the annual Folembray trip being cancelled, planned a trip short 4 day trip to Wales. Although I was very keen, the dates clashed with work commitments, so I had to decline […]
Becoming an IAM Observer
My motive for becoming an IAM Observer was pretty simple at first. I became a full member maybe seven years ago because I love my bike and I love riding my bike with like-minded people. I also enjoy the coaching element of my job – put two and two together […]
Pinlock Motorcycle Ear Plugs Review

Men, Motorcycles & Meaning (Sorry Ladies)
As a motorcyclist I enjoy putting the visor down, shutting the noise of the mundane day-to-day out, and reconnecting with the natural world via a good ride. I love the solitary nature of motorcycling and enjoy spending time on my own. I even write a bit of amateur poetry on […]
