I was today years old when I learned that the UK's numbering system for A and B-Roads is based on zones and is not random. (Explains why the two major ones near me are the A2 and A20). Map credit: @roads.org.uk More about how the zones work: brilliantmaps.com/a-and-b-r...

An interesting character I met in Iran in 1997. I was amazed to see a Beneli 900...6 cylinder in his shed. There were Triumphs and BSA'S as well.

My old Trabant. A 1967 model I picked up when I lived in Hungary 1999-2000. I drove it back to the UK when I left Hungary. Great car.

My Enfield bullet photographed halfway between Quetta and the Iranian border in March 1997. And, yes, I made it back to London on the bullet.

Morning Motoskyers. Considering a Moto Guzzi Nuovo Falcone (Militare ir Classic) as a renovation project/classic ride. What’s the collective view on these bikes? Where to buy, spares supply, reliability, prices, rideability, quirks etc etc? All feedback welcome ! #motosky #motorcycles

European gas is above €82/MWh - the highest since late 2022. Hormuz remains largely shut and gas storage is at 68% going into winter. None of this started in Europe but we pay for it. The only exit is using less gas. Heat pumps, electrified industry, insulation.

Peloponnese tour. Fiat Panda hire car continues to impress on Greek roads. Just lollops along, nice and slim for narrow roads, minimal front/rear overhangs for steep gradients and plenty of luggage space for 2. Reminds me of my MZ, similar vibe. #motosky #peloponnese #travel #weirdcarbs

Peloponnese tour. Leonidio. Stunning rural Greek at its best. Town situated in a fertile valley leading to the sea and surrounded by mountains. Big climbing/hiking area. Plenty of accommodation, restaurants and bars. Characterful and off the main tourist routes. #travel #peloponnese #motosky

Peloponnese tour. Spetses. Easy day trip from Nafplio. Not traffic free like its neighbour Hydra but close. Much more touristy and commercial as a popular place to visit for Athenians. Accessible via ferry or water taxi. If you’re on foot, get the Kosta crossing. #travel #peloponnese #motosky

Peloponnese tour. Nafplio. Old capitol of Greece, prior to Athens. Beautiful Venetian port/fortess city retaining most of its old town and an outstanding castle. Chilled vibe, great for exploring NE Peloponnese and isles of Spetses, Hydra etc + ancient sites. #travel #peloponnese #motosky

Peloponnese tour. Nearly 500km in and this bright blue Fiat Panda hire car is doing its thing. Fantastic car for touring on Greek roads, punchy, agile, economical and compact. Good ac and suspension. Not quite sure what the hybrid bit does though…. #motosky ##weirdcars #travel #peloponnese
