UPDATE: You can find photos of the suit HEREThe Emperor’s New Clothes Having bought a new suit in 2015 for my daily motorcycling needs, the idea was to replace my then 4 year old Hein Gericke suit. The Hein Gericke suit was working just fine keeping me dry and warm in a functional sense, but…

Blow & Snow – Some Winter Riding in Ireland
“Why be saddled with this thing called life expectancy? Of what relevance to an individual is such a statistic? Am I to concern myself with an allotment of days I never had and was never promised? Must I check off each day of my life as if I am subtracting from this imaginary hoard? No,…

Forte est vinum fortior est rex fortiores sunt mulieres super omnia vincit veritas “Wine is strong, a king is stronger, women are stronger still, but truth conquers all” (1 Esdras, chapters 3 & 4). I liked The Da Vinci Code. There, I said it. I know I am not the only one, my better half is…
