Malon Moto

Busy with the new job, which so far I am loving! But I have been a bit naughty in the meantime and the parcels keep coming 😂 Keep tune to see the new “toys”. #rideuk #malonmoto #adventurerider #ukmotorcycle #nobullshit

Great @gentlemansride from Evesham into Broadway. A great place to finish the ride looking dapper and admire some great bikes. #rideuk #malonmoto #adventurerider #ukmotorcycle #nobullshit

A bit of a reflection, observation is key! Look where you want to go and look as far as you can. This will make your rider smoother and safer! If you are looking for advance training, check Bike Safe, IAM and RoSPA. They all deliver excellent affordable training to make your rides safer but also more enjoyable! #nobullshit #malonmoto #rideuk #advanceriding #ukmotorcycle

I rode the Adventure Country Tracks UK. Five days. One honest verdict per day. Keep reading for the ranking. The ACT UK gets talked about a lot in ADV circles. So I did it. All of it. And I’m going to tell you exactly what each day is actually like. Keep reading for the full breakdown. Each day gets a score. Worth doing overall? Yes. Absolutely. But go in with realistic expectations. Day 1: 4/5 – Great day to get started with good views and combination of road and off road sections. Plus you may bump into nice people along the way, check the last photo for my “surprise guest.” Great to finally catch up after bumping into each other some many times! Day 2: 3/5 – Things get trickier plus time is limited as you have to get to the Ferry Day 3: 5/5 – It doesn’t get better than this! Awesome lanes, great roads, better view. Plus you get time to do the Isle of Man TT course! Day 4: 4/5 – Starting with the ferry allow planning and north England doesn’t disappoint! Day 2: 3/5 – Some great lanes with some amazing views but the fact that the adventure finishes lowers the score 😅 Save this if you’re planning the ACT UK. Tag someone who keeps saying they’ll do it “next year.” #rideuk #malonmoto #adventurerider #ukmotorcycle #nobullshit

Wow, just wow! I know the days are longer and there is more light but every time it gets dark I get amazed by how well these lights work! And with the MotoCan they integrate great and are super easy to use. If you want to turn night to day, the @loneridergear MotoLights are for you! #gearverdict #RideTheLights #adventurerider #mototraveler #nobullshit

Monday ritual (Tuesday when we have a long weekend 😉): let’s see where you lot went. Resharing some of my favourite photos from the “To the Coast” route. This week’s challenge — ride a road you’ve never been on. Doesn’t have to be far. Tag #rideuk and you’ll be in next Monday’s roundup. #malonmoto #adventurerider #ukbikers #nobullshit

The average UK motorcyclist rides fewer than 500 miles a year for pleasure. Meanwhile they commute over 2,500. I feel that’s backwards. People buy adventure bikes and ride them to work. They buy waterproofs and never use them. They plan routes they never ride. I’m not judging — I’ve been there. But it’s why I built RideUK. Not a magazine. Not a gear shop. Just one idea: ride more. Find the roads. Make the time. Go. Link in bio. Come and join. #rideuk #malonmoto #ukmotorcycle #adventurerider #nobullshit

I’ve ridden Wales more times than I can count. These places still stop me every single time. Wales is criminally underrated in the ADV world. No, it’s not the Pyrenees. But it’s really accessible from England and it will absolutely rearrange your face with how good it is. Swipe through all the photos — one spot per slide, with what makes it special and the one thing to watch out for. Save this. You’ll thank me next time you’re trying to plan the weekend. What’s the Welsh spot I’ve missed? Drop it below. #rideuk #malonmoto #adventurerider #greenlaning #ukmotorcycle

Thank god winter’s done. Am I the only one who thinks UK winter riding is shit? And no, I don’t mean the cold — that’s a solved problem. Heated grips, decent kit, decent tyres, layer up, crack on. 4°C is fine. I’ll ride in that all day. It’s the bloody salt. The crap they tip on every road from October to March. Within ten miles of leaving the drive your bike looks like it’s been dragged through a chip shop. It gets into every bolt, every linkage, every bit of the chain your brush can’t reach — and it’s still chewing your rims three months after the bike’s been tucked up for winter. So you’ve got two options. Ride and then spend an hour scrubbing the thing down when you get home, because if you don’t, that salt is eating metal by morning. Or don’t ride — because what’s the point of a bike that looks like it’s been pulled out of a hedge after every outing. There’s no third option. ACF-50, Scottoiler, fancy covers — they help, a lot but they don’t fix it. This is what puts me off from riding during the winter 🙁 Tell me I’m not alone in this. What’s your routine — full strip-down every time, or just send it and let the bike take the hit? #malonmoto #rideuk #ukbikers #adventurerider #nobullshit

Everyone asks me about tyres. So here it is — no paid partnership, just miles of honest data. Great grip from day one, even on cold and wet British roads. Great behaviour on roads and motorways, even if you push them hard. Pairing the front with the Rock version in the rear will give better handling on gravel roads and dry green lanes. Heavy braking will wear the front unevenly, but it doesn’t affect performance or grip. The Rock rear will last a bit less than the standard one, but I still get over 6,000 miles comfortably — which takes me from one service to the next. Would I buy them again? Yes! I’ve had so many sets I’ve lost count. Drop your tyre setup in the comments — always curious what people are running. And save this for the next time someone asks. #gearverdict #tkc70 #adventurebike #malonmoto #nobullshit

It’s Monday. The work week starts. But somewhere out there, a perfect road is waiting. Where are you riding this weekend? Drop it below. • • • • #malonmoto #adventurerider #rideuk #bmwgs #motorcyclelife

What a day! The summer is almost here! What have you been up this weekend? Lunch at Aberystwyth sounded like a great idea, 300 miles ride completed 💪 • • • • #adventurerider #rideuk #keepitreal #nobullshit #motorcycle

This time last year! What a shit winter we have had! But now it’s time to get some miles under the belt! • • • • #adventurerider #rideuk #keepitreal #nobullshit #motorcycle

Who else feels like this? And this is why riding is great for my mental health! Once the helmet goes on, problems disappear! • • • • #adventurerider #rideuk #keepitreal #nobullshit #motorcycle

I was so excited to go out in the first sunny day in the UK that forgot the basics 😅 Who else is excited for the cold weather to go riding? 🙋‍♂️ • • • • #adventurerider #rideuk #keepitreal #nobullshit #motorcycle

ACT UK 🇬🇧 day 5 And the adventure was over! Another great day with an amazing mix of paved and unpaved roads! The @thorkracing DMD tablet has been spot on, the new @loneridergear ADV bags kept up with everything, the @nexxhelmets X.WED3 remained comfortable after hours on the bike and the 900GS 😍😍😍 I couldn’t have asked for a better setup! • • • • #adventurerider #rideuk #keepitreal #nobullshit #motorcycle

Trying the Moments feature in Insta360. The app uses “AI” to automatically create videos for you. This has been put together from hours of videos riding the ACT UK 🇬🇧. Thoughts?

Here I am talking shit as usual but this time it is serious shit! This is my review of one of the latest @nexxhelmets models, the X.LIFETOUR. If you want to see the whole thing, head over to YouTube. The link is on my bio 💪 • • • • #adventurerider #rideuk #helmetsforlife #nobullshit #motorcycle

ACT UK 🇬🇧 Day 4 Sorry it has taken this long! Probably the best day of the whole ACT! The lanes, the views, the landscape! It was great but now I want to go back to the North to explore more! @adventurecountrytracks Team, hat off! Well done with this one! This trip has put the @loneridergear ADV Bags to their paces and they have survived it all! Amazing piece of kit 💪 • • • • #adventurerider #rideuk #keepitreal #nobullshit #motorcycle

This is what looking ahead and planning looks like! Super smooth overtake right there! Remember to give plenty of space to cyclist 🚴 And thanks to Cardo she can let me now if it is clear to go 😉 • • • • #adventurerider #rideuk #keepitreal #nobullshit #motorcycle

Been gone for the holidays and it was great to spend some time “offline”. I haven’t missed socials so I am back! The year has started cold! And with ice and snow on the roads the bikes are staying inside. But there are other ways to get muddy that don’t involve bikes 😏

Work laptop is off and so are social media accounts for the year. I leave you with a bit of waffling from my side and a recap of 2025. In a nutshell, thanks to everyone that has been part of my life this year! Enjoy the break, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Catch up soon! 🤘

ACT UK 🇬🇧 Day 3 I loved the Isle of Man! I get why the TT races happen here and why people come to ride! The lanes though… An amazing little place for green lining! The guys from @adventurecountrytracks have done a great job at putting these routes together! • • • • #adventurerider #rideuk #keepitreal #nobullshit #motorcycle

I rode the ACT UK 🇬🇧 and made a video… The full video in my YouTube channel (yes, I have one of those 😂) • • • • #adventurerider #rideuk #keepitreal #nobullshit #motorcycle

We were all happy with long days and warm weather… Am I the only one that find this damp, cold and darkness depressing? 😪 • • • • #adventurerider #rideuk #keepitreal #nobullshit #motorcycle

Day 2 ACT UK 🇬🇧 Not the day I was planning to be honest 😪 Last minute ferry changes meant I had to rush or risk losing the boat! Also… Really? A rope around the bike? 😂😂 • • • • #adventurerider #rideuk #keepitreal #nobullshit #motorcycle
