Having had to cancel all my previous spring & summer plans thanks to my stupid heart, it is great to be able to start doing things once again.

I'm loving my new to me @KTM_UK 690 Duke. But a bike isn't really yours until you make some modifications to it.

Trying out the new Conti-Attack SM2 from @Continental Tyres on my ultralightweight @KTM_UK 690 Duke. Mega thanks to @FinsMotorcycles for fitting them for me. So far, am mega impressed with them!.

As some of you know I recently had a heart attack followed by quadruple bypass surgery & was told it'd be 12wks from the surgery till I'd ride again. Got the all clear to ride at just 8wks. Anyway, I got a bike to celebrate. It is rather stupid! :-D.

Thank you @OfficialEngwe you are AWESOME! ❤️‍🩹.

RT @phantomrides: Planning a Round the World Bike Trip for 2026, provided the world is still there till then.

Another update video for you all to suffer through, this is a "proper" video, as in not a short. I talk about the good bits and bad bits of my current recovery situation. AND a new bike! :-D.

So before my "minor setback", I got some new summer bike kit and tried it out on "Daffy" my Suzuki V-Strom 800 😎.

A little update on where I am at with my recovery! 😎👍.

Am sadly selling my gorgeous Yamaha XSR900 GP. If you know anyone that might be interested in the bike, please pass on the link to the eBay ad to them. Thanks :-).

So what is it like to have a heart attack while trail riding an ADV bike?.This was my experience.

Had a fantastic day on my @YMUKofficial XSR900 GP over at @Brands_Hatch with @NoLimitsOnTrack on Tuesday. The weather gods were 100% on side, perfect day!.

There is no such thing as "Legitimate Interest" regarding cookies. Am I wrong?.

After my @YMUKofficial XSR900 GP being tucked up safe & sound through winter, I finally got to take it for a spin on a lovely day. Spring is nearly here! 😎.

I've been a bit of a grumpy Hippo as I wasn't able to play bike for a bit. All rectified in this short video 🤘😎👍.

RT @Bigroey:

Both on tarmac and in the dirt we can get skill fade on a bike. Have you found it affecting your riding?.

What are your thoughts on average speed cameras outside of their use at roadworks?.

RT @XTDonkey: @BulldogBDX we have converted another one

I'm feeling proud and disappointed with myself. I've deleted the mint Suzuki RGV VJ22 from my watchlist on eBay. 😢.
