Hi. I'm a late-comer to motorcycling, having started in my 40s. Ride with me as I go on track days, train to become an IAM Observer, have test rides on some cool bikes and go on some rides around the UK and further afield, solo or with my daughter "Ilford Stig" riding pillion.

#noobiker #epernay #reims #reimsgp #laon Join me on Day 9 of our incredible motorcycle tour! The day kicks off in Epernay, where we explore the famed champagne maisons, savoring the essence of the region. After a meet-up with my riding partner Jamie in Reims, we embark on a journey to the abandoned grandstand of the Reims GP, a place steeped in racing history. Our ride then takes us to the enchanting walled city of Laon, where the unexpected happens—a serendipitous encounter with fellow YouTuber @UncleLongbeard at a petrol station. Riding into the walled city, we find refuge from the rain and indulge in a delightful lunch. The adventure continues as we make our way to Saint Quentin, capping off the day with camaraderie and awards. Watch as the day unfolds with twists, turns, and the joy of unexpected meetings.
