Motorcycle Live 2022
I am sure that many of us went to Motorcycle Live in NEC, Birmingham last week to see all the latest motorcycling fun. I did. It was great fun. They really seem to have sorted the event out after the pandemic and it was filled to the brim with stands and visitors. I met up […]
American Heartbeat
If you dig out your copy of the book, you will see a dedication from my buddy Dom who owns that great motorcycle accessory store Route 32 in New Hope, Pennsylvania. If you then flip through to Chapter 8: Rock and Roll Rick, you can read about our adventures in St Louis, on that great […]
Henry Cole stole my sharpie!
Another busy, busy week in the Loose Gravel world. I had a terrific spin up to the National Motorcycle Museum in Birmingham for the weekend and managed to meet up with the great Zoe Cano and managed to finally get a book to Henry Cole and his team. I really enjoy meeting up with Zoe […]
Thunder Road
“The screen door slams. Mary’s dress sways….” Ok, this isn’t quite Springsteen’s Thunder Road, but rather the motorcycle dealership in Bridgend where I got my Indian Scout from. To celebrate the dealership being welcomed into the Completely Motorcycles Group, I had a very kind invitation to talk and sign a few books last week. Man, […]
Black Mountain Chill
Taking the road from Narberth, Carmarthen through Dryslwyn, Llandeilo and on to Llandovery on a cool September Sunday is great when you have the weather and the wind is with you. I have treated myself to new gloves which I am breaking in comfortably, they really suit the weather today. I am sharing this trip […]
But I’m gonna be where the lights are shinin’ on me
Every now and again in life something occurs to remind you what living is all about. A little walk up Narberth High Street yesterday and I am blown away to see the poster for the book launch on the screens outside the Queens Hall. It is only a few weeks until the launch on September […]
Junk and Disorderly
I don’t know if you have been following the latest series of Junk and Disorderly on TV, but I was watching it last night and the genius that is Allen Millyard was drinking a cup of scorch from a Loose Gravel mug! This slightly awkward camera shot I took of the TV screen proves it! […]
Book Launch Event!
It was a hugely exciting weekend, the first of two family weddings so it was a hugely busy time. Congratulations Abi and Robin, you have no idea how proud I am of you both. In the busy time, I jumped the gun and put the above poster out on Facebook with no time or ticket […]
Chuckling Goat
Here we are then, rocking into another Instagram Live, as fast as the digital world can take us all, but this time it is different. This time I am talking to my dear friend, Rich Jones. Rich and his wife, Shan set up Chuckling Goat, the UK’s number 1 producer of probiotic goats milk kefir […]
Two weddings and a Book Launch!
Wow! I really don’t know where time goes! It is less than three months until the Book Launch! Full details will follow in the newsletter, don’t worry. But in the meantime I have the weddings of my daughter and my stepdaughter in my calendar. As if life isn’t busy enough! Still. It is better than […]
