Dan and Rich Riding Motorbikes

Created on

Over the last couple of years, I've been extremely fortunate enough to tag along with my friend Rich when he reviews motorbikes for GQ. He packs all of his motorbike gear whilst I just wear whatever the weather calls for.

2019-12-20: This was our first ride in Spain. To be honest my first time on a bike. Rich successfully managed to scare me.

2019-05-28: Riding around Lisbon. We had just stopped for croissants. It was good.

Unknown: Cobham Services. Rich wasn't happy I need a toilet stop.

2019-02-09: Gran Canaria. Both of us enjoyed the warm weather. I managed to grab an ice lolly moments before jumping on. Very joyful it didn't fall out of my hands with some of the corners we took.

2019-03-02: We both had the opportunity to visit Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. Stunning track along with friendly staff.

Unknown: The above two photos were taken together. As you can see from the second, Rich found it extremely funny that I had worn a suit to our bike ride. Sometimes it's good to look nice for these things.

2020-08-12: This bike is called Streetfighter. Rich tricked me into riding. I assumed he wanted to play some arcade games.

2021-02-14: I was cooking Rich and I breakfast but we realised we had no eggs. Rich offered to ride us to the local farm shop.

2021-10-31: Scottish Highlands. I thought I could sneak a picture of the photographer.

2021-08-23: The photographer thought it would be clever to get a "cool" picture with a cat on the motorbike.


Of course this is all a lie. Rich does ride motorbikes and Rich does write for GQ. I however was bored one Christmas and decided to start a long-running gag of image editing myself into his pictures.
