My name is Chris and I am a biker.

Not a tattood, bearded and pot bellied type (OK, maybe a small beer-induced boep) that wears leather and chains but someone who would rather spend a day riding my bike than do just about anything else. I love my bike, look after it and enjoy it. I would ride any bike because it’s not about what you ride but that you ride.

I don’t mind riding alone, in fact I prefer it, and still dream of that big trip, the one to top all trips.

I have had a wonderful journey through motorcycledom, met some wonderful people, rode some awesome bikes, owned a couple of awesome bikes and, off course, lost a friend or two.

This website is a collection of some of the trip reports we’ve done over the years for a group of riders called IUB - Inter Galactic Urban Bikers.

This blog replaces the Bike/IUB website as I’ve decided to change the format, and I hope you enjoy reading some of the stories.

Your journey through my journey (damn that sounds pretentious) should start here!
