Hi! So, after starting off on a shaky start thinking Dan wouldn’t make the boat (and by the skin of his teeth almost didn’t). We finally met up after the boat started sailing. The boat was descended upon by this blinding mist and consequently we were delayed docking into Calais. It was not until after [...]
Unlike my education, throwing money at my bike can produce results… not that I’m bitter about the edukashun. (for those not on the same page of the Neil-o-rama: I failed yet again at architecture… 3 years wasted and £10k a year in loans for nothing). Anyhow, on an upbeat side of things. I recieved my [...]
I’ve been a little busy lately, I’ve been rejetting the carburettor, installing an Acewell speedometer and snagging little things like trying to install the dirt wheels to replace the supermoto wheels. However, the simplest of things always are the harder things to overcome. Works out that the brake discs are fitted with an inhuman amount [...]

With 2 weeks to go, Dan and I met up for a ride and a chat about our route. We covered just under 70 miles doing B roads in Surrey in search of a pub we once stopped at…. sadly no joy. However, we did find another pub equally as nice. As you may notice, [...]
So this year I am pleased to announce that I will be touring again. I had originally planned: “North to South” Europe from Nordkapp (Norway) to Tarifa (Spain) approximately 11,000KM. However, given our current economic crisis and the fact that I did not succeed in passing the accademic year(last year), I didn’t feel I deserved [...]
