Original Objective
Why did I start the The Ordinary Biker Oz blog? I began the blog in September 2007 with the goal of being useful to both new motorcycle riders and experienced motorcyclists. One of the original objectives was to provide straightforward and honest reviews without crazy, absurd and/or silly comparisons. As I stated in the introduction post "I read several motorcycle magazines and
websites. I especially like the product reviews, except for the unique
descriptions (which are often silly) that journalist sometimes use to
try to sound clever". I actually heard a comparison between the sound of a sport bike motorcycle to a million mad hornets - how does that help?Although the blog has evolved and hopefully improved, the founding purpose remains "to give straightforward reviews of items that I have personally used, places I have eaten, roads I have traveled, and/or bikes I have ridden." Occasionally I did share some more personal post with one of my favorite was about my dad and our trip with Honor Flight to Washington DC for World War II veterans.

2020 and Beyond
With the beginning of 2020 I want to renew the goal to provide useful information and reviews. Encouraging and helping bikers to ride safely, comfortably and often, is part of that goal. With my goal in mind I have recently made some improvements and additions to the blog. Please notice the tabs below the blog description. The "Recommended" page provides links to numerous other sites including my own personal YouTube Channel, The Moto Oz webpage (I am a co-owner and will say more about Moto Oz products below) and affiliate businesses. I want to be honest and upfront with you about my affiliate business relationships. If you use the link to visit one of the affiliate business and make a purchase I get a small commission, but your low prices are not affected. Any purchases are greatly appreciated and will aid in fuel fill-ups :) .

| 2019 Beat The Heat tour in Colorado, stopped at a reservoir on the Highway of Legends - CO 12. |
In 2020 we will be going to southwest Colorado where we will ride the Million Dollar Highway (aka US 550) and The Silver Thread Scenic Byway (aka CO 149). We will stop at the small on of my favorite bakeries in Lake City, CO. We will spend time in the historic towns of Ouray, Silverton, Durango, Telluride and Ridgeway. I am planning to add more trips per year in the future. Once I retire I would like to conduct 4 to 5 tours a year and several long weekend trips.
Be safe and I hope to see you on the road

I have used the Oz wash for various purposes. It's great on motorcycle windshields and the rest of the cycle, but I've also used it on my boat. It's great for cleaning up water spots and keeping the entire boat looking nice. A very good product.
