Part VI - Conclusion
The world is a completely different place when you don’t have a window in front of you. We tasted the rain, we felt the heat and the cold, we smelled the air and we most certainly saw the sights. It was a journey of the m...

We have just pulled off this dark desert highway and have arrived upon a place that the engineering gurus who built these bikes must have dreamt about - Mexico´s Baja Peninsula. A place that even I have dreamt about since listening to Ch...

Recently I discovered a verse in Death Cab For Cutie´s aptly named and
beautifully sung ´Brothers On A Hotel Bed´ that goes something like this:
On the back of a motor bike
With your arms outstretched trying to take flight
Leaving...

I am so proud of my dad. This trip is certainly not for the faint of
heart. His friends think he's crazy. He’s absolutely killing it. I have seen him maneuver his bike up and down steep grades of washboard gravel and sand and even t...

If you are ever looking for a beautiful, tropical destination to get away from it all, consider Costa Rica´s Nicoya Peninsula. We spent three days in Santa Teresa where I got to see my old friend Tomas Ritchie whom I had met on a previ...

Part VI - Conclusion
The world is a completely different place when you don’t have a window in front of you. We tasted the rain, we felt the heat and the cold, we smelled the air and we most certainly saw the sights. It was a journey of the most epic proportions that spanned nearly 11,000kms and I got to experience with the best riding partner I could’ve ever asked for. My dad. The Road Warrior.
I guess this is it for me. For some it may be skiing mad lines or surfing big waves. For ...

We have just pulled off this dark desert highway and have arrived upon a place that the engineering gurus who built these bikes must have dreamt about - Mexico´s Baja Peninsula. A place that even I have dreamt about since listening to Chris Isaak´s classic Baja Sessions. We have arrived upon a quaint little town and are staying at none other than the legendary Hotel California in Todos Santos. I could not think of a better place but here to write this our most perilous chapter yet…

Recently I discovered a verse in Death Cab For Cutie´s aptly named and
beautifully sung ´Brothers On A Hotel Bed´ that goes something like this:
On the back of a motor bike
With your arms outstretched trying to take flight
Leaving everything behind
But even at our swiftest speed we couldn't break from the concrete
In the city where we still reside.
I can´t tell you how many times I have felt like that and have even
stretched out my left arm, feeling the rush of air and...

I am so proud of my dad. This trip is certainly not for the faint of
heart. His friends think he's crazy. He’s absolutely killing it. I have seen him maneuver his bike up and down steep grades of washboard gravel and sand and even through washed out river crossings. I've seen him weave in and around potholes the size of craters on the moon. I've watched him negotiate heavy crosswinds and rain while cornering sharp turns. Part Ricky Carmichael and part Valentino Rossi. I always...

Part II
If you are ever looking for a beautiful, tropical destination to get away from it all, consider Costa Rica´s Nicoya Peninsula. We spent three days in Santa Teresa where I got to see my old friend Tomas Ritchie whom I had met on a previous trip there. Consistent surf, tasty food, friendly people, diverse wildlife, amazing waterfalls & pristine beaches – Costa Rica has it all. Upon ferrying back to the mainland, I got reacquainted with two very good buddies. Fourth Gear & Fifth Gear...
