REVER, ride tracking made easy
I’ve tried to find a really good ride tracking app, and I feel REVER is doing that for me. I used to use Eat Sleep Ride, but that’s been discontinued, and it seems people have been pushing Detecht as its

Road to North Egmont Visitor's Centre
This is a recent ride up to the Mount Egmont/Taranaki Visitor's Centre. I didn't intend to go up here this day but I ended up here anyway, only to find the Visitor Centre destroyed and getting rebuilt.

Parihaka and Kahui Roads - 4/2/26
This was pretty much the longest ride I have done so far on the Himalayan. I headed along the main road past Okato and turned in at Mid Parihaka Road. From there I crossed over Wiremu Road to Upper Parihaka

German Hill - 2/2/26
Farid Bettioui - Grayscale photography of clouds Sadly I don't have any photos for this trip. Basically the weather was crap and the hill was barely visible. Today was a great test of the bike though.

Lucy’s Gully - 30/1/26
Today was a trip that I’d wanted to make for a long time but I’ve never really had a chance to do so. Now I’ve got my own ride I can explore when and where I like… after work. Today’s trip was Lucy’s Gully.

Setting up my ride
Getting a ride set to your liking can be a tricky thing. Each bike is different and has their own set of intricacies that make things a pain to set. Many moons ago I did a riding course called “Ride Forever”.

My happy place
I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned it in the past but I work as a postie. This literally makes me a professional motorcycle rider because I get paid to ride a 125cc motorcycle all day. Well, not so much now

The Future of AI: Why pineapple on a pizza is not the real story
If “pizza” basically means bread, why do people lose their minds over pineapple on pizza? Seriously—have these folks never had a ham, pineapple, and cheese toasted sandwich?

On face value, the answer to that question is obvious. If it is unpredictable, then by its nature, you can't predict it. But as a motorcyclist, I can assure you that there is nothing that is truly
