Keep your compass weird - a Norton motorcycle adventure

Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
After years spent anchored in routine, Graham finds himself adrift following the quiet death of his father and the unravelling of a life he never meant to build. With only an old Norton motorcycle, a half- finished map drawn by a lost friend, and a heart full of unasked questions with a promise to his father, he sets out from Cornwall on a meandering journey across Britain—from the wild edges of Cornwall to the tip of the Scottish coast. Along the way, Graham meets a cast of eccentric and kindred spirits: a mechanic who seems to speak in riddles, a beekeeper who paints with honeyed light, a mysterious woman named Luna who sees stories in standing stones. As he rides, Graham begins to rediscover the freedom of movement, the sacredness of landscapes, and the quiet magic of shared silence. Part road novel, part quiet reckoning, Keep Your Compass Weird is a soulful exploration of grief, friendship and forgiveness, and the call of the open road. It's a reminder that sometimes the most important journeys aren’t the ones that chase destinations—but the ones that help us come home to ourselves. A love letter to lost maps, late starts, and the enduring hum of old engines.
