"Growing old is mandatory. Growing up is optional."
I'm Pompa. My eldest granddaughter couldn't say "Grandpa," so she gave me a new name and a new mission: refuse to slow down.
I built my workshop (The Pallet Palace) out of scrap wood.
I built my custom Bobber ("Captain Hilts") out of a Kawasaki Vulcan 800.
And I ride my Suzuki V-Strom 1000XT across Europe to touch history.

This channel is my logbook of:
The Pilgrimages: Solo / Group rides to the mud of the Somme, the wire of the Great Escape, and the sands of D-Day.
The Builds: Real-world wrenching in the shed. From custom fabrication to making my own merch.
The Reviews: Honest, no-nonsense testing of the gear I actually buy and use—from Insta360 cameras to laser cutters/3d printing. If it survives the Pallet Palace, it's good.

The Philosophy: Living by the motto Non Serviam ("I will not serve").

Current Fleet:
Suzuki V-Strom 1000XT (The Mile Muncher)
Kawasaki Vulcan 800 "Captain Hilts" (The Tribute)
I will see you, on the road
