Any of you guys in the Leeds & Bradford area? Perhaps join us at the Squires Cafe for a presentation & book signing event on October 17th. It'd be great to link up.👍👍 leeds.mag-uk.org/shop/ #motosky #motorcycle #motorcycletouring #advmoto #mototravel #event #squirescafe

Too right. Mine's a mono and I broke it's sub frame on the way down to Kenya. Mind you, a kitchen sink was involved 😅

Amazing isn’t it. He’s a mechanic, long time rider, pilot, engineer… He’ll have worked the issues out - would I like to ride it? Part of me says, ‘Hell yes!’ The other part says…

A jet bike? Yep, a friend in the USA, Mike Williams, has built one. Top speed? 70 very noisy mph! He's a man who comes up with ideas and has the talent to make them happen - even the boundary stretchers! Much respect. Photos by Mark Carrera. #motosky #motorcycles #genius #motorcycle

Now there's a blast from the past! 2016. The second year of riding in the USA. The shot is from California & a perfect example why I like riding there. The bike I'm riding is Al Jesse's F800GS. It was this trip that started me on the road to owning my own, to keep in the US. #motosky #motorcycle

I'm wondering if any of you guys are following along with Ferdia on his journey through West Africa. AKA 'unOrdinaryWorld' I really enjoyed meeting him at the Adventure Motorcycle Film Festival in Kendal early this year. www.youtube.com/@unOrdinaryW... #motosky #motorcycles #motorcycletravel

I really like this picture from a couple of years back. Spain. And what a gorgeous day for it. What gets me though is that I know exactly how big Birgit's grin is inside her helmet. 😊 Look closely & you can see it in her eyes! #motosky #motorcycles #motorcycletouring #motorbikes #spain

Paddy & I had a moment of real grin factor. His little MZ Saxon has 346,078 kilometres on it! Nice! Sadly I missed out on the chance to get a picture of my R80GS standing next to it. But hey, this bike deserves the limelight all on it's own! #motosky #motorcycles #mz #motorcyclist

You know when you are busting for a pee, suddenly come across a nice discrete spot, do what needs to be done and then turn around to a really pretty view... #motosky #motorcycles

Oh good grief Bruce! Moral of the story, never book with this guy eh. Stressy, expensive...

It's incredibly embarrassing isn't it. So many visitors to our country have their bikes stolen. Grim! I rode around the world for 8 years and so long as I was sensible and didn't park on the street, at night, I never had fears of my bike being stolen.

Moto Traveller & author Jacqui Furneaux is touring & making her way from Bristol to the Overland Gathering at Cresswell, Northumberland. She got as far as Ashington nr Morpeth when her black Royal Enfield Bullet 350 was stolen. Reg FE24 OBF. If you see it, please let me know. #motosky #motorcycle

😊 Oh yes... Thankfully that never happened to me. Other close escapes with the wildlife but not lions. Did your bike start? Guessing it did, as we are chatting.

Uganda. A full on senses moment. The deafening sounds of cicadas, rich musty scents of the forest & those hot earth scents created by the sun hitting the damp track. Muggy heat had our sweat trickling. Nice 🙂 We'd no idea how far we were going. We'd end up where we ended up. #motosky #motorcycles

This was one of the places we stayed when we were travelling through Colombia. Loved it. Friendly people, off street parking & clean but very basic rooms. The owner didn't mind us working on our bikes in the courtyard either. The shower was kind of 'unique'. Didn't need more. #motosky #motorcycles
