The new 2025 Motorcycle Roadcraft is out — and I’ve just pressed the button to order my copy.
It’s the IAM Masters’ core text and still the blueprint for how we ride — with new sections on rider aids and cross views that promise to make for an interesting read.

Remembrance Sunday and out with Joe Coker for the M60 Ring of Red. Nice ride out of Hayfield to Birch services and then onto M60. Great camaraderie of bikers and public on the bridges. Lots of L plate 125s on the bridges as well. Nice one.

I didn’t make the finish line. A story for another day. Joe will probably enjoy telling it more than me. But to quote old Arny. “I’ll be back”.

OFFICIAL RTTW Ride to the wall group

Well done everyone who did anything to organise this event. Seamless from registering, arriving at Sandbach south, filtering in M6 flow, by pass Toll, arrival and parking. Then the event. You cannot prepare for the emotion, community and general goodness everywhere. The service was spot on, singer in a kilt was good 😊 and the Padre delivered a great lesson on what I think can be summed up by “belonging”.

Thanks once again.

Will return in 2026 and will also support the Armed Forces Day in June.

And it goes without saying. Thank you to all of those who have served, are serving and will serve in the future.
