What are my plans in photography for 2024 and beyond?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When (please God) I pass my Full UK motorcycle licence on 21st Dec 2023, it will kick off plans I have been brewing up to share many “PhotoMoto” <\/strong> (photography adventures on my motorbike) journeys with you here and on my YouTube Channel.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately my PhotoMoto’ s will culminate in a European adventure to Lisbon and if that wets my appetite, maybe much much<\/strong> further afield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Training for Lisbon.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Counter to popular belief, I am not stupid. I understand that I need to train up for a journey of over 1000 miles and learn not just how to handle my new motorbike but also recording, editing and photographing my journeys to deliver videos you hopefully find entertaining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So to achieve this, I will be making a series of “PhotoMoto Journeys in a Day”.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is where I travel upto 100 miles from Northolt, where I live, to places of which you might recognize but also some you might not, taking photos on film and digital of any interesting things I find along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The added “trick” as it were is to do these all on our A and B roads, not motorways. This should give ample chances to stop and grab any and all vistas and targets of interest as a wiggle my way through the minor roads of the UK to my chosen destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once I feel I, and maybe you, have had enough of 100 miles I will then boost that target upto 250 miles, still aiming to achieve the out and return in a day. 500 miles in a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

500 Miles in a day is my target and key to the Lisbon trip<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that in mind, once I get Motorbike fit<\/em> and can do 500 miles in a day, I have a special test of myself and my motorbike to pass to then put the Lisbon road trip into action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Namely doing the North Coast 500 around Scotland in one day.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When (please God) I pass my test on 21st Dec 2023, I will trade in my wonderful CB125F, a bike I highly recommend for anyone to learn on, for the stunning CB500F.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The one I have bought is the 2022 model with just 680 miles on the clock, so first service and run in done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The previous owner has left the top box bracket for the CB500F on so swapping my Givi box over will be straight forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will see how my self training goes on my various UK based “PhotoMoto” journeys, but in my mind, I might upgrade the CB500F to the NT1100 if the Lisbon journey is a goer or do Lisbon on the CB500F to finish off the “PhotoMoto” project I have outlined here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then what will I do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who knows, but whatever it is at that time it will be only limited by my wallet and imagination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel <\/a><\/strong>and keep up to date with how I am doing. Your support is appreciated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wish you well and safe jouneys<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
