Hells Nerds

After they sent me a free bike mount I got addicted. I have Quadlock on my pushbike, Motorbike (about to upgrade for wireless) and car. Well built, modular and with 30% off they are probably going to get you addicted as well.

Made a pilgrimage to my hometown to see the bike Ted Simon aka @Jupitalia rode around the world. Also grabbed one of his books from the shop. #AdventureRiding

I made the executive decision to not pack waterproofs when I headed over to @Magiprint. I’ll learn.

Got a new lid.

@kevinbkee @snhuprez Most welcome! And ride safe :-)

@snhuprez @HellsNerds Honoured to be part of the organization’s expansion into Canada.

Welcoming our first Canadian member, Kevin. He passed the initiation, can opine on the virtues of a triple versus a twin, knows stuff about whisk(e)y and loves a long distance ride. See you in Ontario and welcome to the club!

Lost one off the bike once.

We got to meet Tony. Lovely guy. At 7’2 we had to get him to sit on @ChristianHambly’s #HondaC90. He normally rides a Scrambler 1200

A brief #HellsNerds meet up in Bletchley. Me and @ChristianHambly went glove shopping.

In 1929, Vivian Bales rode her HarleyDavidson for 78 days and 5,000 miles across the country.

Tiny wheels round a tiny island. Isle of Wight day two.

All 11500 words from my Californian @HellsNerds travel journal are online now. Starting here... documentally.substack.com/p/escape-from-…

Fully loaded and exploring Wales.

The largest gathering of UK based #HellsNerds made it too the #1984Symposium yesterday. We even badged up a new member. Welcome @computid to the tribe!

The latest post (Part 3) documenting the @HellsNerds 2022 Californian road trip... documentally.substack.com/p/road-movie-3…

It's been an incredible week. None of us or our bikes came back totally unscathed, but we survived and are all the better for flying over mountains and across deserts in search of adventure. 1300 miles of laughter friendship and epicurean exploration. What a ride. #HellsNerds

Really pleased to have finally met @timarrowsmith. Not only did we get to go for a ride along the Pacific Highway to the first @Patagonia. We badged Tim up as the latest member of the @HellsNerds Welcome and thanks for saying hi!

See that road in the background? That was one of many amazing routes in the San Bernardino mountains we managed to explore. #HellsNerds

@snhuprez The 1100 is the best bike I’ve ever ridden.

Fuelling up.
