Welcome to the web-site designed especially for the "more mature" rider. (Although, hopefully, younger riders will enjoy and benefit from it too!). It was written by a "more mature" rider (okay, "an old bloke"!) to present an "old bloke's" view of motorcycling.Of course, age is relevant; there are some (who are older than me) who actually regard me as "young"! So how old is this old bloke? Well, the picture on the right is supposed to indicate someone who is just passing 60. (The picture on the left is just a joke - my attempt at self-deprecating humour!).There are three main sections to the site; "General", "Bikes" and "Happenings." All the main articles are in these sections. But, as you'll see from the buttons on the side, there's more! There's a "Feedback" section where you can have your say. There's a "Me And My Bike" section where you can tell us about your bike. And there's a "Questions" section. On a more personal note, you can follow what The Old Bloke's been up to in my "Blog." And there's one with a few personal details (name, background etc)."General" has articles on various things; like bikes in general, and particular categories of bikes, places of interest and so on. There are also some "words of wisdom" on various subjects. Well, I'm no motorcycling guru, but you don't get to be an old bloke on a bike unless you possess a certain amount of wisdom! "Bikes" gives you my impressions of bikes I've ridden. They're impressions from an old bloke's point of view - where comfort to ride is more important than lap-times around a racing circuit! Although other features, like performance and handling, are important too!"Happenings" describes certain experiences - like rides I've been on, or just things that have happened to me - that have resulted in some insight gained, or just general impressions. Maybe you'll get something out of these too. Some are humorous anecdotes, so you might get a laugh as well!

Not just a blog, as such, but lots of other bits 'n' pieces type stuff - things that don't make it to a separate article.This page just tells you a little bit more about who wrote all this.
