I never thought I would like soft pannier bags. I was a rackless, roll top kinda guy, until I started riding a long way with these and now...

If it's a multi day kinda jam I'm taking the OS soft panniers, every time. Strong, waterproof, out of the way and SO easy to live with. The perfect middle ground.

So, are you a soft luggage or rackless kind of rider?

Gettin Jiggy with it. I'm a jump kinda guy.

In fact, it probably goes jump, skid and then wheelie in preference of fun. There is a good chance that's because I'm crap at wheelie 😂

What one would rather be good at?

Being able to communicate well from rider to ride was a game changer for our India trip. It helped us stay sharp, reduced the risk and mean great shots were 100x easier to get. We used them to direct well over a km apart in the mountains.

The Pack Talk Edge saved our asses multiple times along the way.

Is there anything more fun than smashing a puddle or river with the boys? Rubber footpegs, road tyres and smiles for days.

India is a place of wild contradictions. Incredible scenery, incredible kindness to us, but some difficult moments.

A place where culture shock is real. A place to find yourself, appreciate the world more and really understand what you have and how lucky you are.

For every project bike I wanna build something I'll remember in 10 years time. A vibe, a style with a point, maybe even something mildly artistic. This one was for the Ancient Greeks.

Also, does anyone actually use IG for images anymore? I don't really use it much these days, so we've set-up a Vero account. I like the idea of not having someone else deciding what I see, you see and we all see. See you there if you fancy it. No hard feelings if you don't.

Well hello there. 😍

When the rumours of a new Transalp surfaced it was a surprise. For the longest time the new ‘Africa Twin’ 750 was rumoured. So what are we looking at here? mpressed, surprised and excited. I think those are all solid adjectives to describe the new Transalp. Maybe I have a negative association wi...

Wheelies and Skids make my world go round. Also, I quite like the GasGas ES 700. I don't know what it's for but I like it. ⁠

Also, we've started a Vero. No algorithm, no s**t, no stupid dancing videos. Just some decent photos and an app that isn't designed to suck your soul from your body. Come find us.

MONDAY. 👇

Crossing rivers is a funny thing. It’s a very human thing to go as fast as possible through the things we can’t see. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve seen people got infinitely too fast into water and crash or make it through by the will of the gods.   There is a better way.   Rivers...

Triumph are building dirt bikes. As part of that excitement, we took a step back in time to to look at the challenges they face through lens of the failed BMW G 450 X Project. BMW came swimming in the late noughties. They had a HUGE budget, a shiny bike, all the best riders, ideas coming out of ever...

Just how good is a Dakar bike? We went and answered the question.

Just HOW good is a Dakar bike. We know they’re good, but what are they really like? Are they hard to ride? Are they fast? Are they scary? These are the questions I wanted to answer. The mystique of Dakar bikes is not new. From the dream of Africa Twin’s and Super Tenere’s to the perpetual tale...

I really enjoy new bike silly season. It’s about the only time anything newsworthy happens in the adventure bike space. Ducati’s Desert X is both a triumph of peak throwback design and great marketing language. This is the lowdown. ver since I started testing and reviewing bikes, the language It...
