The guy who makes the motorcycle videos. You'll mainly find me riding big ADV bikes somewhere and talking nonsense to a camera, and every now and again I even make content that you might find useful.
Was just sorting out some media and found this photo, one that Iād completely forgotten that I had ever taken. On one side, a shiny helicopter that I regularly dangled under to go help people that had got themselves into a bit of bother. On the other, a bike that regularly gets me into a bit of bother! 𤣠Suppose itās a bit yin and yang.
I was just sorting out load of photos and found these beauties - me and my good friend Sean riding sports bikes in our yoof.
Bike #1 with a black Suzuki SV650. I bought it from āup northā from some dodgy geezer who clearly hadnāt maintained it, and who mugged off a very young and naive Ollie Moto. Knowing what I know now, there is no way it would have passed the fresh MOT that came with it, and I would not have bought it. The bike lasted a couple of months but then blew itself to pieces on the way back from watching the BSB at Mallory Park. Shame, it was fun to ride.
So, bike #2 was a Kwak Ninja 600. I absolutely loved that thing, rode it like a hooligan and went touring all over the UK with it. I didnāt have nice gear back then though, just a tent bungeed to the rear seat and my (quite clearly) oversized textiles. I think they were my Dadās.
Happy times. Happy memories. I wish Sean still owned that Repsol VFR400 too. Iād buy it off himšš»
The Ollie Moto shop is back up and running! And, to celebrate, there's even a sale on a few items. It's all up for grabs - t-shirts, hats, mugs, neck tubes, stickers... etc - so go and have a browse.
My bobble hats are super popular and tend to sell out right away, so if you've been pining for one for a while, I'd get one while you can! And yes, the bobble hat in this photo is (quite clearly, and intentionally poorly) photoshopped in... š
I won an award! I didnāt get the opportunity to brag about it at the time, so Iām going to do it now: I was only voted The Trail and Adventure Motorcycle Podcast Favourite Guest of 2023! šš»
Iām a big fan of the TAMPodcast, and theyāve had some mega guests, so itās pretty cool that I somehow won. The actual physical award may be tiny, but Iām still pretty humbled.
I doubt Iāll be able to defend my crown though having not been on there at all recently. Also, knowing Clive as well as I do, having used me to gain traction and fame for his channel Iām sure heāll just discard me now. Never trust a SBW. Noelās alright tbf.
Iāve had a lot of questions recently about whether I still have the Batbike. Of course I do! Iāll never sell that thing.
It is currently dead though, and I havenāt yet found the time to fix it. Donāt worry, it will definitely be back on your screens at some point⦠breaking now.. requiring more fixing⦠š
Remember that time I went to Morocco? The recent one, not that Bodge Tape trip I always bang on about, well before the start of the official Wheels of Morocco tour I stole a GS1250 and went for a spin in the desert. Enjoy!
A while back I went riding with my good mate Whitey. I donāt get to ride with him much nowadays, and it was a right laugh. It involved the normal stuff, you know, ride a bit, fall a bit⦠that kind of thing!

Ok, I know itās taken me a while, but the Rally Duck Full HD series is finally complete! I managed to get a load of it finished off during my recent air-time whilst travelling around a bit, and itās turned out all right if I do say so myselfā¦
We didnāt make the race, as most of you already know, but we did build a killer bike that Harley-Davidson are still showing off around the place. If youāve not seen any of the series yet then youāve got 14 episodes to catch up on!
Whatās next for the project? No idea, ask Aled š We both feel like we need to finish what we started though, and it would be nice to actually see it race after all that hard work! Still the most aggresive thing Iāve ever ridden.
Anyway, have a watch and let me know what you think⦠#olliemoto
šØ Announcement! šØ Soooo, Iām off on another adventure! Recognise this place? Hope so - Iāve rattled on about it for long enough⦠š
Yeah thatās right, Iām heading back toš³šµNepalš³šµbaby! I would have mentioned this sooner but with all this PCR rubbish I didnāt want to risk a false announcement. This trip will involve a lot of medicine and should be an interesting one to follow - itās a new experience for me, and Iām very bloody excited.
Exactly what am I up to? All Iāll say for now is that Iām going to be on a mission with the Team 5 Foundation. Iāll reveal all when I get there, but if you want to get ahead of the game go and check them out!
