It's been a cold start to 2026, but with Spring finally here, I dusted off Donkey the Royal Enfield Classic 350 and ventured out on the first moto-camping trip of the year.

For a brief moment the rain finally stopped and I wasn't going to miss my chance for ride. In this video I take Donkey the Royal Enfield Classic 350 out for a brief ride over to a great lookout spot in the Peak District. Then, as the clouds roll in, I headed home hoping to outrun the rain that I spotted headed my way.

We've the end of 2025 and so it's time for the Classic Rides round up.

In this video, I pick some of the best moments from the last year as we close the chapter on 2025 and turn the page to 2026.

Whatever you have planned for this coming year, I hope it includes many miles of motorcycle exploration and adventure, I'm going to try to capture as much of mine as I can on film.

In April 2026, a group of women motorcycle riders will be taking on the ten highest passes in Wales. Over two days in Spring, they'll brave the Welsh weather while traversing the heights of Cymru; all to raise money for Endometriosis UK and awareness of the disease.

Classic Rides will be following along to film the ride, culminating in a documentary will be released early Summer 2026. In the lead up to the event, there'll be a series of prologues and mini videos featuring some of the riders. This short video is the first one of those.

If you'd like more information on the event, join the ride or support the cause, you can initially go to the Instagram page here:

Or if you'd like to support the ride in a more direct way, you can donate a little of your hard earned cash by visiting: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/endometriosis-uk-reg-charity-419983?utm_medium=FR&utm_source=CL

If you're struggling to find easy access points to hang luggage from on your bike, the new Seat Straps might be just the ticket.

Wrapping around the pillion part of your seat, these leather straps provide four attachment hoops on each side, allowing you to easily attach luggage while also raising the hanging level of panniers (which can also help if you have a bike with upswept exhausts).

Made out of genuine leather, they come in brown or black. Check them out in the Classic Rides web-store.

And then all of a sudden there was frost in the mornings and streetlights on at 5pm.
