Your brain is remarkable. No really. The demands of riding a motorcycle in real time are crazy. This video looks at the neuroscience of riding. The Holy Roman Empire also makes an appearance, so there's that. #motosky #motorcycle youtu.be/M4NizhLemqU

Huh. Well, that's good news for me with my love of simple bikes. Good move by RE. #motosky #motorcycle www.team-bhp.com/news/royal-e...

Had a post ready to go, and my friend @jeffodysseus01.bsky.social beat me to it. Thanks, mate. 😀

My favourite photo of Dalma. 😍

Typography matters.

Confused winter cat.

They called it a midlife crisis. They were wrong. New essay on why a bigger bike isn't the answer — and the reason almost nobody names. #motosky #motorcycle youtu.be/bZys_Xa1VVY

In the evenings, Dalma and I sometimes play rummy. Just a sweet way to pass an hour. Until I was dealt this hand. And went down when I picked up an 8. 🤪

Just watched the finale of Good Omens. Great finish. Such lovely acting by DT and MS. National UK treasures. You lot better take care of them.

A kangaroo hit my bike at 100km/h on a deserted outback road. Five minutes later, a near miss with another roo. Five minutes after that, a dead pig. I'd still rather be out there than home. #motosky #motorcycle youtu.be/40NLIX9LgwU

So. I took the Aoocci navigator off the Himalayan. Aspirational piece of tech, but implementation needs work. Worked well for 6mo. Then the connection to the GPS broke its solder meaning it became an android auto device. Then the android auto stopped working. Shame. #motorcycle #motosky

I had a bit of a disaster with the server yesterday, which ended up with one trashed 8TB drive. I'm getting things up slowly and just wanted to acknowledge how easy Joplin (@joplinapp.bsky.social) made it to bring up joplin server again with all my notes and such. Brilliant piece of software.

I like this photo of Billie. Last night of Horizons Unlimited Queensland. #motorcycle #motosky

Why are motorcycle friendships are disproportionate to what you actually share with the person — and what a 1963 sociology book has to do with it? Featuring: Howard Becker, cruise ships, and a quiet defence of friendships that have a natural lifespan. youtu.be/J5HxAcJlBYc?... #motosky #motorcycle

Riding the Australian bush #motorcycle #motosky

Off to Horizons Unlimited Queensland. Love the open road. Fossicker's Way. Never ridden it before. #motorcycle #motosky

I spent a day on a BMW R1300GS. Forty-one thousand dollars of motorcycle. Radar cruise control. Semi-active suspension. Blind spot detection. I ride a Royal Enfield Himalayan worth three grand. youtu.be/FCWUodbG62o #motosky #motorcycle

I'm prepping my Himalayan 411 for a 1200km tour and questioning everything I'm taking with me. Turns out the trip starts in the garage, not at the end of the driveway. youtu.be/KT7hUpiF3IA #motorcycle #motosky

Out for a couple of days' travel with @rogersherman.com Bit cold last night. #motosky #motorcycle

Reading Arendt's *The Banality of Evil*. Fuck she was brave to write this. Lots of perspective on modern tribalism and evil wearing the mask of good.

Goodbye Orbán, you fascist arse.

This will please Dalma when she wakes up. tvpworld.com/92594617/orb...

Hanging out for the election result in Hungary. Here's hoping. 😳

New Video: "The Worst Things About Riding Motorcycles (and Why I Do It Anyway)" Spoiler: Yes, it sucks sometimes. Yes, I keep doing it anyway. because some things are worth doing even when they're challenging. youtu.be/-SsBrETk0Ic #motosky #motorcycle

Someone recently told returning riders they'd wasted thirty years. It came from a good place. But it handed them a comparison they didn't ask for, and a version of their life they failed to live. That's not encouragement. That's pity with a smile on it youtu.be/BwBo6JoXU0Q?... #motosky #motorcycle

24 horsepower. 70,000km. Outback Australia. The case for the small ADVs (Himalayan 411, for example) as serious tourers. Why I tour on 24 horsepower. And don't care. youtu.be/aHCd89q8bJ4 #motosky #motorcycle

The amount of motorcycle AI slop online is just getting worse. I saw one on FB where the bike started rolling with the stand down and before the rider had touched the bars. Pisses me off.

Blast from the past. Old friend sent me this. It's my only photo of young me with my first bike. From about 1991. Jesus...was I ever that young? #motorcycle #motosky

Is the main reason people use #linux because they want to use old tech that windows doesn't support anymore? Or is it something else? Genuinely curious.

Riding two-up on a motorcycle with someone you love changes how you ride in ways nobody warns you about. Not just the weight and the braking distance. Something deeper. youtu.be/dD3pHrkpJ-M #motosky #motorcycle

Riders treat fear like a stage you're supposed to outgrow. The science disagrees. Fear arrives before thought, sharpens as you ride. When it goes quiet, that silence isn't confidence. It's erosion. Five reasons fear is your most underrated riding skill. #motosky #motorcycle youtu.be/vA2DsVttpXY

Cats are such elegant creatures. 😂

You know. If I was considering a second bike, or a replacement for Billie, this'd be it. Once it made it to Oz. #motorcycle #motosky www.advrider.com/royal-enfiel...

Flooded streets behind us. Sigiriya somewhere ahead. Rain, wrong turns, a police stop, gear that quit on us — and somehow we're grinning the whole way. That's motorcycle travel in Sri Lanka. 🏍️🌧️ #motosky #motorcycle youtu.be/tzMEHPqvGPg

Some of these sound pretty spesh for an Antipodean. Glen Coe in particular. #motorcycle #motosky www.adventurebikerider.com/5-epic-bikin...

Couple of awesome screencaps of Dalma from this week's video. Caught in the rain between Anuradhapura and Dambulla. I'm very lucky. ❤️ #motorcycle #motorsky

This made me smile. 😀

Also, fuck Elon. Not only did he ruin Twitter, there are episodes of Rick and Morty that I cannot watch.

I had a quick peak into the twitterverse yesterday out of curiosity. Looked around and though "nope fuck this" and left again.

Fuel stops aren't only logistics. They're the only place you have to get off the bike but you're still inside the ride. New video about the moments where rides actually change. #motosky #motorcycle youtu.be/xe4uYOM3wU0

It was my birthday yesterday. Dalma, thoughtful girl that she is, gave me an album with the thumbnails from the channel. ❤️ Interesting how the craft has improved. From barely legible thumbs for unwatched videos at the start to ones that people can actually read and watch. I'm very lucky. ❤️

I don't usually repost memes, but Garak is a bit of a personal favourite.

I hate it when Real Life Work gets in the way of my riding. It should be the other way around.

My mate @rogersherman.com from Rogers Motorcycles Adventures did a rainy review of the Vario moto panniers. Good watch if you ride a Beemer. 😀 Paper towel test was a good one, mate. #motosky #motorcycle youtu.be/aeTMr-4y5mI?...

Busy is a trap. Bikes are the exit. Efficiency culture, the productivity hamster wheel, and why riding a motorcycle, or doing whatever the hell you love, might be the most rational response. #motosky #motorcycle youtu.be/UL9dJRhYgiA

Rewatching Life on Mars. Damn, John Simm is good.

Sunset in Batticaloa, Sri Lanka.

Damn. That'll set the cat among the pigeons. #motorcycle #motosky www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

Riding Sri Lanka from Mannar to Jaffna. A hospital detour, empty roads, and the kind of quiet that makes you pay attention. The two of us in a strange place relying only on each other. #motosky #motorcycle youtu.be/O0UkTbtI3mY

Pleased with myself. I now have a working server. Old M1 Mac as the brains running Asahi #linux perfectly. 8TB of storage (so far). Joplin server, nextcloud running. But man, 3TB of data takes a long time to transfer using rsync. Still, only have to run it once. 😀🤖
