Somehow I managed to fot both axes, two books and the water bottle I received from the axe smithing course in my already full motorcycle bag.

Now I’m off to look at more runestones.

Okay I'm going to bite the bullet. I am setting up a new Mastodon instance to replace Bikers.Social, which is sadly going away.

I just bought the domain name and am beginning to set up the server. 🤞

I'm also figuring out how to do GitHub Sponsors so I can recoup the domain cost and save up enough to move to proper servers.

New Server, new #introduction

Hi, I'm Paul. Three wonderful kids, quickly becoming wonderful adults. Living between Melton and Leicester, middle of nowhere, UK.
I lead an IT team in logistics. Interests are primarily IT and all things Bikes.
Previous bikes include a ridiculous amount of 125s, CB500, XJ660, and my beloved FJR1300.
I follow BSB, WSBK, and MotoGP, but I'll watch anything I can find. Love it all!

Welp so app.bikers.social is shutting down in a couple of months so I'm going to be migrating my moto blog over here to theATL.social

And I'm quote-tooting below because I'm sending an email over to Pops Coffee Co to encourage them to create a Mastodon account here so that I can keep up with their bike nites.
I snapped this pic at the soft opening of their new Motorrad shop this past spring ❤️‍🔥

Pray for my taste buds, I'm finally going to risk this energy gel on my journey home. After a suitable period of warming in a jersey pocket, of course.

Went for a ride after work today. My normal journey home is ~18 miles…I did 47!

The reason? Well firstly, I don’t need a reason!

Secondly…I hit a big milestone - 85,000 miles!

When I got her from the dealer back in 2015, she had ~400 miles on her. She’s still going strong!

❓ If I started a new motorcycle-focused Mastodon instance, would you use it? Would you occasionally donate a tiny amount of money?

I'm asking because this instance, Bikers.Social, is going away at the end of the month. I don't know where to migrate to and am wondering if a new instance makes sense.

Hey folks. I am switching fediverse server and merging my presences so that my alter ego becomes part of my regular ego - as if that wasn't big enough already. So, future bike-related stuff will be posted from @dan along with the linux/nix/cycling/skating/lisp/leftist-dad-politics reckons that dan@brvt.telent.net was previously posting.

I plan to do some kind of archive for the longer-form posts/threads on this account, just haven't figured out what yet. Something more discoverable than pleroma search ...
