Jaffna traditionally had a lot of awesome old cars, though they seem to be being replaced by the usual shitboxes you see everywhere. This fantastic Austin Cambridge was just chilling near a mural with a local family inside. #srilanka

Repost with the most recent photo of any of your pets.

Dalma looking every bit the fierce female rider that she is! 😍 Riding the islands around Jaffna. Long bridges and what feels like the ends of the world. #motosky #motorcycle

An absolutely cracking episode. Make time for it. You are going to be fascinated. www.tampodcast.com/tamp-season-... #motosky #motorcycles #mototravel #RTW

Hmmm...could be an interesting step forwards.... #motosky #motorcycle electrek.co/2026/01/05/v...

Awesome. A week into the trip, and our near-new nanopresso has failed. Guess it's cowboy coffees for the rest of the trip. #wellfuck.

Oh joy. Ended up in Munnar hospital. Pain on my right leg. Not DVT. Probably muscular stress and dehydration. Your idiot author didn't drink enough water on yesterday's long ride. 🙄 Dalma's looking after me. Probably out this afternoon we ride to Jaffna tomorrow. #motosky #motorcycle

Starting the year with a Thought Ride. Recorded before we left, it’s about what keeps pulling Dalma and me toward new places — and why we go at all. Watching it now, from Sri Lanka, feels about right. #motosky #motorcycle youtu.be/rnnSqTKVZeQ

Bikes were delivered without issue. We took off from Negombo and made it to Kalpitiya. It's lovely. All salt and sand and bleached white colours.

So... we'd organised two of these bikes we wanted three months ago. Now when we turn up, they're unavailable. No idea what's going on. They promise they'll be here tomorrow. If not, I release the Kraken that is Dalma. You don't want a Hungarian/Transylvanian lawyer pissed at you.

Came across the awesomeness machine on the streets of Negombo. Speedo up to 45kph. Love that it proclaims its cc so loudly and proudly. Take that, Harley!!! 🤣 #motorcycle #motosky

Dalma drinks her beer through a straw. Because she's all fancy and refined.

Happy new year, Bluesky. From Two Wheels In Sri Lanka. 😘

End of the year. Community video about subscribers and bluesky and how you've shaped the channel. And also the next overseas trip. What fun! In 48 hours we're on the plane. And I've just started packing! 😬 youtu.be/tZ38qa7jRm8 #motosky #motorcycle

Hey Bluesky. If you celebrate Christmas, we wish you a good one. Calm roads, good company, and time to breathe. #motosky #bluesky

What makes a motorcycle a cult bike? I test the idea using the Himalayan 411 — with detours through the BMW R80 GS, KLR650, Moto Guzzi V7, and the Honda Cub. This isn’t nostalgia or specs. It’s about why some bikes refuse to disappear. youtu.be/TvrArMFs2SQ #motorcycle #motosky #cultbikes

Series of 40 degree days has limited my riding. Might be lower today.

Today, Dalma takes on the motorcycle industry. After losing 25kg, Dalma needed to replace all her gear. This ended up being a three-hour odyssey and a lesson in how poorly the industry designs gear for women. youtu.be/c6OwbXRrQzM #motorcycle #motosky #womenriders

In juvenile humour today, my friend Anh sent me this. #motosky #motorcycle

Some nice bikes out today. #motorcycle #motosky

6.30am here. Looks like it could be a good day for a ride. 😀

Ugh. Helicopters are back. Third day in a row battling spot fires and the like.

Interesting. I did a little work in sensory tourism when I was an academic. This ties in nicely. We experience the world through our senses, humans mostly through eyes. But riding a bike is complete sensory overload. So smell would be part of that. Maybe a video on it... 🤔 #motosky #motircyclr

I really enjoyed this, in terms of what riding a motorcycle does to you mentally ... it's not the silly throw-away line about riding being therapy, but what happens when you ride. youtu.be/7HwOTt8UNXg?...

Weird...last night's post about the video disappeared. Sigh. Technology is great until it's not. Here's the link again. youtu.be/7HwOTt8UNXg #motosky #motorcycle

Bushfires today. Five homes lost a few km away. Fingers crossed.

I always seem to travel in somewhat extremes of weather. Riding to Tamworth in 35°C (95°F). Still had fun. 😀 #motosky #motorcycle

Weirdly, in the week after I released a video about too much gear, I'm with Dalma in a shop buying new gear because she's lost weight and none of her gear fits her any more. And shopping for women's gear is an experience in itself. #motorcycle #motosky

Apparently I don’t own “a bit of bike gear”. I own a soft furnishings department. In this video I empty the wardrobe, roast my dumbest purchases, and work out how many tanks of fuel I blew on jackets I never wear. Watch here: youtu.be/UKRtaZ15edc?... #motosky #motorcycle

I don't do a lot of midweek releases, but this one was overdue. Real-world review of the self-contained Aoocci U6 nav unit. Two months on the Himalayan, rain, heat, flat tyre warning and all. youtu.be/KNLjVCJfIpU #motosky #motorcycle

I made a pretty good lime and chilli barramundi today. And kept the skin intact and crispy. So that's a win. I'd post a photo but we ate it.

Wow. That's the end of an era. After thirty years of university teaching, I just graded my last assignment. 😳 What the fuck do I do now?

A ride leaves you with a handful of frozen moments. The bits your mind hangs onto when you get home. It's how psychologists say we experience the road. This video traces my ride from Junee to my home via four of these #motorcycle moments. youtu.be/nB8wTAYRL1g #motosky

Adventure used to mean stepping into the unknown. Now it often means managing the known. Something quieter this wk, how comfort, tech and expectation changed the ride. If you care about the feeling of riding, not the features list, this one’s for you. 🎥 youtu.be/Xm5KESvAGCg #motosky #motorcycle

As the channel picks up some speed, I hit that nuisance we all get sometimes. Trolls. But this morning's contribution made me laugh. Lowest effort ever. Simply posted that motorcycles are machines and naming them is gay. Not sure whether to 🙄 or 😂.

When you start riding, everyone has advice — most of it loud, and some of it wrong. It's not bad intentions, it’s that myths spread faster than miles behind the handlebars. So I pull a few apart: where they're wrong, and what the road teaches instead. #motosky #motorcycle youtu.be/JNjfgx-tPww

Today I was filtering and a elderly gentleman moved his car towards the centre to cut me off. I went around the outside and continued on my way, giving him a cheery wave to thank him. He shook his fist at me. I consoled myself with the thought that soon he'd be dead. #motosky #motorcycle

Cold. Wet. Still worth it. A long, soaked ride from Wisemans Ferry to Junee — lost a mic, found great roads, and remembered why even the miserable days are good ones. youtu.be/I2j3XBkNgV4 #motorcycle #motosky

Today was rainy and cold. Frigid at one point. Tell you what though...the Scott suit held up well. Not toasty, but not frozen. The Himalayan, of course, also held up well. Such a reliable thumper. Even though I was wet and cold, it was still enormous fun. 😀 #motorcycle #motosky

Well. This is somewhat challenging to ride in #motorcycle #motosky

Good first day's ride. Though Billie will need a new steering bearing when we get home. Realised on the ride that this one is getting a little worn. Also came across this art deco theatre in regional NSW. #motosky #motorcycle

Beautiful bike. Wrong choice. We don’t always buy the bike that fits our riding — we buy the one that fits our fantasy. I have. This week I unpack why we chase the wrong motorcycle, and what it teaches us. #motorcycle #motosky youtu.be/XL8KiIYcZQk

Thinking of a little pootle down to Junee. Haven't had a decent ride in a while. (Pic from up near the Queensland border last year.) #motosky #motorcycle

Yay! Filming beside the Old Pac. What can possibly go wrong. 😂 #motosky #motorcycle

Apparently we're getting to 39°C (102°F) today. And it's not quite summer. 🥵

One year today. ❤️

It is my avowed aim to change Billie's oil one day and not spill a single drop of oil. This was actually one of my better ones. #motosky #motorcycle

We’re told to optimise everything — steps, emails, sleep. But the best rides happen when nothing’s optimised at all. Motorcycles aren’t transport. They’re experience machines. youtu.be/Y7wjuG8Rhl4 #motorcycle #motosky

Went out for a ride on Dalma's bike Shanti today. Hadn't been ridden in maybe 4 months. Still started first go and rode like a champ. And Billie has been growing more techy tech and it's nice to ride a bike that's simple again. #motorcycle #motosky

Little dirt to scuff up the new tyres. #motosky #motorcycle
