New Roads, different bikes
The sun’s out and I’mma heading west, way out west, where the temperature increases by 5 degrees and the salesmen are human (well these were anyway). I was out testing riding again today. This time round I booked a ride on the Yamaha MT09-Tracer. The salesguy figured since I ride a Blackbird he could trust …

2014 in Review
What an amazing year, well maybe not exactly true but definitely an exhausting one. The start of the year for most would start off slowly but for me the roller coaster was already on full throttle. Work just ran on from 2013 in the same hectic way it finished. Let’s see if we can break …

So this FarRide I tried to make sure that other than having Daisy in good condition, my head space was, well, better prepared than in recent times.
