About Me.

Taco sitting on his Vstrom Motorcyle

For anyone that doesn't know me already, let me tell you a bit about myself and why I created this website. I have been interested in riding motorcyles since I was old enough to get on the back of my dads Honda 70 but didn't chase my dream of owning my own bike until 2005.

The first bike I owned was a 2002 Yamaha Virago 125 cruiser which I traded a month later for a 1991 Virago 400. 6 months later I bought a 1989 CBR 250rr. I rode both these bikes all around Ireland, exploring and venturing up all sorts of roads, half of which would be better suited to a trails bike. Since then I have owned a wide selection of different bikes, big and small. I take pride in trying to do my own maintenance and upgrades on my bikes. It gives me great satisfaction riding a bike that I have made my own mark on, be that with some custom paint jobs or simply adding some extras mods. I love to get out and explore around the country and usually try to take the alternative routes off the beaten track to see what I can find along the way.

In recent years I have started to widen my horizons with a trip to France and a couple of trips to Scotland. I hope in the near future to get to explore a bit more of Europe. I have created this website for myself to chronicle some of my adventures and to allow anyone who is interested, to see what I get up to on my travels or maybe inspire someone to join me on my travels. If you have questions about my trips or you want to join me on a day trip or maybe venture further afield then fill out the Contact Form below and I will get in touch. I currently ride a Suzuki Vstrom 650 Adventure bike which is a great all rounder and has never let me down. I am a member of Hair O' The Dog Mcc and consider the other members as part of my family. We get out and about to bike events as much as we can and support local charities by running Rock Nights ourselves or attending events run by other clubs. I was also a volunteer rider with Bloodbikes Ireland a few years ago.
