Believe it or not, I didn’t even think or have any time for motorcycles back when I was in my teenage years. Most icons in the motorcycle world grew up in ore of them, born and raised as they say.

For me, I always loved sport. Ice hockey mainly as I grew up.

At the grand age of 20 I joined the British Army, which meant moving abroad to live in Germany. At this age I was your typical young soldier with not a care in the world other than what Pt we were doing the following day in camp.

But like most men, especially those who deem themselves confident or slightly off balance in life. I did not really have a thriving ambition or passion, I mean Hockey was life for all of my childhood but life had a different plan for me.

I found myself out wondering in the beautiful Delbruck area of Germany, not too far from Paderborn where our battalion HQ was. On this day, for one reason or another I found myself riding a little 125cc motorcycle, a Chinese variant of some description, however that did not matter to me, I knew from that first ride that I was hooked.

Fast forward a few years later on returning to the UK after leaving the Army, I found myself really struggling to get to grips with life as a civilian and what the ‘norm’ was as such. Living on my own and not really having many friends at this point. I took up motorcycle lessons. Over here in the UK that is a DAS course (direct access to fast as sh*t) which lead to being on two wheels ever since.

From then, I worked my nuts off to buy my first Harley. The joy that bike gave me and the incredible sense of freedom still runs through my veins today. My escape from reality or my ability to meet new folk, the community around motorcycles is something else.

I created this channel on the back of a trip to Harley Davidson bike week, Austria. In 2025, My old 2011 dyna slugged through 10 countries in 10 days and covered 3000 miles along the way. The only thing I was missing was a camera, or videos. Feeling inspired to live my life, exactly how I want to, Rolling Thru was born.

I hope you will join me on this journey, and support the channel. As a veteran, I know the only way to live my life now, is on two wheels.

Peace out,
