Musician on a Motorbike
Hello,
I’m ‘Musician on a Motorbike’, or Mark, if you prefer.
In brief I am a…:
Family man.
Musician.
Motorbike wanderer.
London made, Shire raised.
Reader • Dreamer • Believer.
Welcome to ‘Raven’s Journey’ a reflective, nomadic channel where I explore the roads we travel both in the world and within ourselves.
Sometimes I ride a motorcycle.
Sometimes I ride a bicycle
Sometimes I walk
Sometimes I tell a story.
Sometimes I review stuff
This channel is about moments of reflection, gentle philosophy, humour, curiosity, and the joy of simple nomadic wanderings.
Welcome aboard

Well, after much thought, many conversations, a fair bit of overthinking, and a few rides through the Hampshire countryside…
I’ve decided to keep the Classic 650.
Ironically, while trying to decide whether to sell it, I rediscovered how much I enjoy riding it.
This week also marks the bike’s first birthday, so I treated it to a small present: a set of bar end mirrors. 🎂🏍️
Thank you to everyone who shared their thoughts, advice and encouragement over the last few weeks. Whether you agreed with me or not, the conversations helped me think things through.
I’ll be sharing a video in the next week or two explaining what changed, what I learned from the process, and why I came to the decision I did.
For now, though, I’m looking forward to putting a few more miles on the clock and simply enjoying the ride.
Mark
Happy Birthday old friend.

Funny things, motorcycles.
You can spend days analysing depreciation, insurance, servicing costs and practicality, convincing yourself you’ve reached a sensible conclusion.
Then you head out for a quiet ride through the Hampshire countryside.
The miles pass easily. The engine settles into its rhythm. You find yourself smiling inside your helmet for no particular reason. And before long, you’re standing beside an old church lychgate, looking back at a motorcycle you had almost convinced yourself it was time to let go.
Sometimes a ride reminds you that not everything of value can be measured on a spreadsheet.
No final decisions yet. Just a photograph, a beautiful afternoon, and the growing suspicion that a little more riding and a little less analysing may be the wisest course for now.

Part two out 7pm today (Wed 27 May 2026)
Trying to Find the Spark Again | Guerrilla 450 & Group Ride
In Part 2 of this series, I continue trying to answer a difficult question…
Has motorcycling changed for me, or has life simply become too busy to fully enjoy it?

Some of you might have noticed I’ve quietly taken down (almost) all the music videos from this channel. Nothing dramatic they’ve just moved. If you’re interested, past and future music stuff now lives on my music channel, Time & Feel.
And for those of you who’ve noticed a bit of a gap in the motorbike videos, thanks for missing me. Between the rain and life generally, I’ve enjoyed doing a bit of riding just for the sake of it, no cameras involved. But don’t worry, Musician on a Motorbike will be back soon. I’ve got plenty to share.

A ride out to Henley-on-Thames today. The Classic 650 isn’t just beautiful to look at, it’s a wonderful place to be. I’ll share an update video soon on why I truly think this may be one of Royal Enfield’s finest motorcycles.

The roads may be wet and muddy, but I’m determined to enjoy this Classic 650 all year round.
Met a non-biker friend for lunch today. The sun poked its head out, so I thought, why not take the bike?
She needs a wash now but so do I after that ride. Worth every splash.

I finally managed to get out on my Royal Enfield 650 Classic today to capture some footage of my new panniers. Hope to have a video up sometime later this week.
