Riding a little dirt the other day, I surprised Skippy. (A kangaroo, or more correctly, a wallaby.) Nice little moment. #motosky #motorcycle #kangaroo #wallaby #australia

Sometimes, I ride in solitude and in silence. No Cardo. No music. Just engine, wind, road, and the vastness inside a helmet. Perfect.
Solitude removes the social soundtrack. Silence removes the auditory one. Together they give me back to myself.

Enjoying getting out on the dirt a little more. Still not my comfortable place, but it's fun and opens up new areas to ride in. And it pushes me. 😀 #motorcycle #motosky

Trip yesterday to my Mum's via Oberon. was long but good. 440km on back roads. Made an hour longer by roadworks...and nearly considerably longer by a suicidal wombat. No idea what it is with me and suicidal wildlife. I should have a word with the animal gods.

History remembers the big motorcycle names — but not these five riders. George Wyman pedalled his broken bike the last 150 miles across America. Winifred Wells crossed Australia alone, then went back to work on Monday. The riders that history forgot.

Medicine Hat, Alberta. Out on the plains the sky does about 80 percent of the work and the ground just holds it up. Homeward leg of the Route 66 ride –

International Childfree Day. Some people pass down a bloodline. I'm passing down a Shuttle archive, a pile of #Motorcycle trip reports and a motorcycle playlist. Gene pool ends with me. The documentation does not. #Motosky

True happiness: a bike, a full tank, and the open road.
Oregon 205 south of Frenchglen, 1 June 2019. Past the Steens Loop turnoff, weather stacking up over the mountain, and about forty miles of nothing between me and it. The open road of the western United States #Motorcycle #Motosky #Oregon

Throwback: July 2014, my first bike – the 2000 Triumph Sprint – with buddy Bill and his Ducati Diavel at the Y where SR 123 meets Chinook Pass. Decision point: over the pass or down toward Rainier. Either answer is correct.

Quick question for both #motosky and #photography. I have this great Ulanzi X-Aircross tripod. It's travelled with me by motorcycle on several international trips. But now the tote bag is wearing out. I need one that lasts and that has strapping points. Recommendations?

The latest in the Sri Lankan videos. (Sorry about the gap from the last one.)
In this one we travel from Dambulla to Batticaloa via Trincomalee and find firsthand what the road demands of and gives to mototravellers.

Columbia River from the Wild Horse Monument overlook, looking upstream past Vantage. The climb up the trail is loose gravel and regret, but the view is why you do it anyway. October light on channeled scabland - the Missoula Floods did good work here. October 2024 #Motorcycle #Motosky

Riding the edge of Hells Canyon, July 2023 - deeper than the Grand Canyon and twice as wild. Nothing but heat, horizon, and a Harley 2005 Road King that never complains. #Motorcycle #Motosky #Harley #Nature #Photography

Motonews from India. The government launched E85 this month. 85% ethanol 15% petrol. And there are essentially zero fuel-flex vehicles on the roads. This follows the imposition of E20 as standard petrol. The indian motoculture is vast and passionate. Thoughts are with you! #motosky #motorcycle

Rode my #Motorcycle #Motosky to Palouse Falls, May 11, 2026. If you visit you have to go in the spring because the falls dry up later. 2ish miles of hard pack / gravel. Didn't drop the bike :-). #Nature #Photography

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

You know, one of my favourite things to do is to use OSMand to plan motorcycle routes. Just sitting in bed a few days before a big trip, and thinking "Rye Park Road? Ooh, that sounds nice!" It's also where, in my opinion, a maps-first app like OSMand really shines. #motosky #motorcycle

Royal Enfield release a range of really cool t-shirts. (The really cool ones don't make it outside India.) But my point is why other companies don't do this. It's all black t-shirts with "Harley Davidson" on it or misogynist ones or boring ones. Where are the fun creative ones? #motorcycle #motosky
