What’s It Really Like? Have I Made A Huge Mistake? | Elizabeth The Bobber πŸ’ž Not A Test Ride

There is a new member of the XploraLora family. Her name is Elizabeth, although Liza Nova will probably appear from time to time as well. πŸ’ž She’s a Benda Napoleon Bob 500, she’s very different from anything I’ve owned for a long time, and buying her wasn’t quite as straightforward a decision as simply deciding […]

What Is XploraLora? | It’s Not Just About Motorcycles

If you’ve arrived here after watching one of my videos of Lora, my ZX-9R, disappearing along a road through the Scottish countryside, you could quite reasonably assume XploraLora is a motorcycle channel.Β It isn’t really. There are certainly going to be plenty of motorcycles involved, because I love them and Lora πŸ’ž is a very important […]

Where Am I Even Meant To Be? | Liza MTB πŸ’ž | What Is Going On Today?

I went out for what was supposed to be a nice, short, relaxing Saturday afternoon ride. I was still a wee bit worn out from the 40-mile Dungeon Hills adventure, so there would be no enormous distances, no ridiculous expedition and definitely no knackering myself out again.Β That was the plan anyway.

I’ve Been Trying To Get This View For 3 Years… | ZX-9R Lora πŸ’ž

There is a particular view in Galloway I’ve been trying to get closer to for about three years. I’ve seen it plenty of times from a distance, but I’d never managed to find somewhere that gave me the view I actually wanted. Then, while looking at the map, I noticed a little forest trail that […]

Can I Still Climb A Proper Mountain? | ZX-9R Lora πŸ’ž

The week before this I’d climbed a wee hill and managed better than I’d expected, which inevitably led to another question: could I still climb a proper mountain? There was a time when an eight-mile mountain walk wouldn’t have concerned me particularly much, but things had changed and I genuinely wasn’t sure what I was […]

I Didn’t Think I Could Ever Do This Again | Lora Took Me Back To The Mountains πŸ’ž ZX-9R

I used to really love climbing mountains. It was one of those things I could disappear off and do without thinking too much about it, but after everything that happened and being unwell, I honestly didn’t know whether I could still do it anymore. I wanted it back in my life, but wanting something and […]

ZX-9R Lora | A Ride, A Walk, and Thoughts on Love | You Are My Seven Minutes πŸ’ž

There are days when you head out because you’ve planned an adventure, somewhere you’ve wanted to explore or a route you’ve been staring at on a map for weeks. Then there are days when you’ve simply had enough of work and life and need to get away from everything for a while. This was definitely […]
