I'm no fan of Sunak but if these woke councils aren't stopped then it's only a matter of time before they start suggesting that speed limits apply to motorbikes as well, and that will be the end of civilisation as we know it.
Two months after getting my BMW, today I rode my old ZX-6R for the final time, taking it to its new owner.
I was worried that riding it again I’d think that the BM was a mistake and want to go back to in-line 4s.
Needn’t have worried. I’ve loved all three of my ZX-6Rs, and the tens of thousands of miles I’ve done on them, but perched atop that tiny thing, my knees round my ears, I’m happy that the time was right for a change. And grateful, after 28 years of riding, to have become an old rider.

Nice to get out around Kielder Forest without having to use pedal power, for a change. First time taking the BMW off road. I know, it's hardly the Dakar, but everybody's got to start somewhere, right?

The locals were friendly when we stopped for coffee, too. 🐔

Me and @paul_edwin have been out taking big bikes on shitty roads. We both stayed sunny-side up, I’ve stopped crying now, and my bike trousers will be good as new after a dry-clean.

Public safety announcement: Please take a moment to read up on the effect that publicly pledging allegiance to the king could have on your body/soul before next weekend.

Reader, I took her outside.

There’s a local business park which I often use for evening walks and ball-chasing and, let me tell you, it is a deeply strange place after 6pm.

Luna can’t quite believe I’m just sitting reading when there’s outside I could be taking her into.
Sunday evening dog content. My RSPCA rescue dog, Woody. If you’d lived with me for 10 years then you’d look this sick of it all as well.
Shocking!
