This blog had it's origins as a 'home page' (remember those) I built to teach myself HTML. That was dial up modem and scanning paper photos. Later I moved to Blogger and renamed it Motorcycle Paradise, a term to describe the region I used to ride and was writing about. Since then much has changed. The name remains, despite being outmoded and I still blog though it's now out of vogue.
I am currently based in Japan a country I used to love. Not sure where to next but in the meantime I am working on my ride 'bucket list'. No plans to join the overlanding crowd. I don't feel the need to prove anything, nor be stuck on the same RTW route living like a hobo.
'You should do YouTube'. People still have the perception that video is 'new' and thus better. These days everyone is spamming ride videos online but 99% are poorly shot and boring. It takes a huge amount of time to produce a good movie, scouting locations, multiple angles, chase shots. It's a format that if just using a gopro on your helmet is doomed to be another crap video.
A bit of legal stuff - not that it will stop people, one guy was republishing all my rides as his own for awhile.
