I returned to riding in 2018 after a thirty-year absence.
I was trying to run away — but as Mike Brady said, “Wherever you go, there you are.”
Eventually I stopped running.
Motorcycling stayed.
Here’s what changed.

Lately, I've been looking at the software I use and considering opting out of gated systems like windows and mac. And esp Adobe. I installed Linux on my travel machine. I've used Joplin and Libreoffice for years, but the one thing holding me back was a decent video editor. Hello, kdenlive. 1/2

Just came across this landscape while riding. Incredible.

Riding abroad isn’t unsettling because it’s chaotic — it’s unsettling because the rules you rely on stop lining up with what’s happening.
This one’s about learning to ride (and travel) as an outsider, before confidence and momentum kick in.

One of the things I like about down time is the capacity to read not for work. I've started Around The World in 80 Days, first time I've read it for forty years. A friend of mine described it as "a spreadsheet in prose form". Unfair? Perhaps. But still a decent read.

I'm super proud of Dalma.
Learning to ride a bike wasn't a linear path for her. Panic attacks in the early days, spending years on scooters, and now riding traffic in the rain in Sri Lanka. Crazy!
Watching her is awe-inspiring and humbling. And she married me! On purpose! 😳😍

(not technically electric motorcycles, just that where they’re supposed to be first installed).
You’ll recall earlier this week at CES a startup Donut Labs revealed they’d developed the world’s first production solid state battery.

The first few days in a new country are about learning to stand, observe, and not make snap judgements. Not about jumping on the bikes and wheelie-ing out of the airport.
This is our first few days in Sri Lanka before heading north into the unknown.

Jaffna traditionally had a lot of awesome old cars, though they seem to be being replaced by the usual shitboxes you see everywhere. This fantastic Austin Cambridge was just chilling near a mural with a local family inside. #srilanka

Dalma looking every bit the fierce female rider that she is! 😍
Riding the islands around Jaffna. Long bridges and what feels like the ends of the world.

Oh joy. Ended up in Munnar hospital. Pain on my right leg. Not DVT.
Probably muscular stress and dehydration. Your idiot author didn't drink enough water on yesterday's long ride. 🙄 Dalma's looking after me. Probably out this afternoon we ride to Jaffna tomorrow. #motosky #motorcycle

Starting the year with a Thought Ride.
Recorded before we left, it’s about what keeps pulling Dalma and me toward new places — and why we go at all.
Watching it now, from Sri Lanka, feels about right.

Bikes were delivered without issue. We took off from Negombo and made it to Kalpitiya. It's lovely. All salt and sand and bleached white colours.

So... we'd organised two of these bikes we wanted three months ago. Now when we turn up, they're unavailable. No idea what's going on. They promise they'll be here tomorrow. If not, I release the Kraken that is Dalma. You don't want a Hungarian/Transylvanian lawyer pissed at you.
