Really?
With my leg still recovering from the accident with the Z650, I decided to start the rapirs. Stripping down the front end to determine what needed doing. The problem is, by the time I had the front end stripped down, I decided to go the whole hog. I had previously been planning to wait until the winter and begin a full restoration on the Z650. Stripping and powdercoating the frame, cleaning and…
What a ride
With an amazing weather forecast and Mrs Mad out for the day, I decided to spend my Saturday on a long ride. Heading westwards and, if all went well, I would stop at Aberwystwith for some ice cream before the return ride. With the Z650 having sat in the garage for the last few weeks without any adventures, I decided she needed a run. the Milkfloat is far more comfortable and easy to ride, so…
Dragon Fire Rally 2025
Wanting to do a few more smaller weekends this year and a few more bike rallies, back in February, whilst searching social media, I came across Pendragon MCC’s Dragon Fire rally. A small rally aimed at laid back fun with Viking Reenactment and silly games. Sounds like fun! Thanks to a busy week at work, we had very little time to get organised and packed for the weekend. But find nearly…

A bike for Easter
Those of you following on social media will be aware that over the last week, I have inherited a bike. Not just any bike, but a Kawasaki Z650. Whilst not the fastest, or prettiest or singularly impressive in any way, this bike has a story. The Z’s story starts back in 1985. Built in 1983 but not sold and registered until 1985, the Z was purchased and, after barely 1000 miles, put up for sale the…
Summer Search 2025
The time has arrived, the weather is warming and the bikes are ready. But where to go? The MM Summer Search is a free photo-based treasure hunt open to all motorcyclists. The aim of the Summer Search is to provide inspiration for your rides, no matter where you are located or what you ride. Over the last few years, we have had riders from all over the UK, along side riders from the Repbulic of…
It's time!! Very excited, registration swapped over and tax sorted. On the trailer, all ready to be delivered this weekend. My first classic bike with a lot of sentimental value. Can't wait for it to hit the Shropshire roads.
The Elan Valley
Having had such a nice ride last weekend, I had spent the whole week at work dreaming of my next ride. With the forecast not letting me down either, I mounted up Sunday morning with my front wheel squarely set on the Elan Valley. Having just ridden through a few summers ago, I had yet to explore the whole valley and the reservoirs it hides. Wrapped in a few layers, I hit the road and followed a…
A Welsh Afternoon
With a week off work spent primarily in the garage building a new tool cabinet, as can be seen in the pictures below, the forecast showed a warm glimpse of the sun through the usual February murk. Sunshine and temperature in the low teens, it would be rude not to get out for a ride. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Mad Motorcyclist (@madmotorcyclist) So after the Saturday morning…
2024 A year in review
I do like these posts, each year a quick reflection on everything that has happened. This year has been an odd one with lots of ups and downs, and both periods of lots of riding and no riding for numerous reasons. The year started off well, with lots of riding in the depths of January leading to an eventful ride across to Suffolk on a dark and very foggy night with barely any visibility. As the…

Day 8: Triberg
Day 8 of our Honeymoon tour down to the Black Forest. Following two long days with many miles covered, not to mention our journey to reach the Black Forest, our energy was flagging and we decided a quiet day was on the cards. With this in mind, we rode a couple of miles to the town of Triberg. A town made famous by its host of super-skilled craftsmen who ply their trade carving and building…
Day 7: The B500
Day 7 of our Honeymoon tour down to the Black Forest. After a short break from the blog, we are back and ready to finish up where we left off, our honeymoon trip to the Black Forest. Sorry for the delay but we have made it now. Following our trip down to Switzerland, we decided that, as we were staying in the Black Forest, we should actually explore the area itself. We decided to take the…
Day 6: Another country?
Day 6 of our Honeymoon tour down to the Black Forest. We woke up a beautiful morning in the Black Forest and, following a trip to the bakery for some pastries to enjoy on our balcony, we decided to head south towards Switzerland. Being just a few hours away, it seemed like an opportunity not to miss so we hit the road and joined the B500 at Triberg. Leaving the town you are greeted with a…
Day 5 -How fast will she go?
Day 5 of our Honeymoon tour down to the Black Forest. The first order of the day was breakfast so, we walked down to the local boulangerie and bought ourselves a very large pain au chocolate each. Perfect to set us up for the day. Can’t beat fresh bread and pastries! We left our hotel in Forbach, just as the rain started, heading for Vosges du Nord, a national park on the border with Germany.…
Day 4: Another Country
Following the second amazing breakfast courtesy of our host, we bid farewell and continued on our journey. After a short ride, it was also time to say goodbye to the amazing roads of Belgium. Having had neutral or negative comments about Belgium before the trip, I have to say it has destroyed those preconceptions and is an amazing country with some incredible roads. We will certainly be back for…
