EXPERIENCE SHARED


Now based on the Isle of Wight (UK), I’ve ridden since I was knee high to a grasshopper. At 7 I began with 50cc “Schoolboy Scramblers” (as we called them back then). I moved onto trials with a Yamaha TY80, then road bikes, Enduro (YZ250) and the list goes on. I now ride a 2020 modified Tenere 700. I spent 20 years straight travelling the world on 2 wheels and 4. This site will record my next two wheeled chapters, now together with my 15 y/o son, as well as bringing to you reviews of products that I’ve personally found useful.
 Please keep in mind that I mostly tour now, rather than off-road, and so my bike is modified to that end. Thanks for stopping by and please don’t be a stranger!

It’s a beautiful island with over 30 wonderful beaches and, in Military Road, the island boasts one of the most iconic motorcycle routes on the planet. On that road you also have Grange Farm…

FULL REVIEW – ALTRIDER CLUTCH ARM EXTENSION KIT

During a fun telephone conversation with Martin LeBreton of AltRider, he mentioned a product I was wasn’t aware of. Namely, their Clutch Arm Extension kit. After he explained how it worked my interest was tweaked and I agreed to install and review one. These were initially designed to give added clutch control off-road and listening to others who’ve used them, they seem to do exactly that. But that wasn’t really what interested me as I currently…
