Hey everyone, I'm Ross. I'm 29, and honestly? Life just makes more sense to me on a motorcycle. It's not a hobby, it's... well, everything. My happy place.

A couple of weeks ago, I had a bit of a crash. I'm okay – healing up, nothing major, which is a huge relief. But my bike... my bike took the hit for me. And it hurts to see it like that.

I'll level with you: I think about fixing it more than I think about my own scratches. I've been staring at repair bills while stuck on the couch, and even if I live on instant noodles for a month, I can't quite bridge the gap.

So I'm swallowing my pride and asking for a bit of help. I'm trying to raise £500 to get the essentials fixed. Just the bare minimum to make it safe and sound again.

If you chip in even a few quid, you're not just paying for a part. You're buying me back that feeling of the open road. That freedom. It means the absolute world.

Thanks for listening to my ramble. Seriously. Any help – whether you can donate or just share this – gets me closer to riding again.

Cheers,Ross
