I've succumbed to the charms of electric starting - well I have just had 2 back operations, and the Commando and the Bevel SS are both unforgiving if you are half-hearted !

I know it looks like I've got too many bikes, but not all of them are running, 2 are racers anyway, and you *have* to have a spare bike if you ride a classic don't you !

I'm a mad mountain biker too, but most of you won't want to know about full-suss mtbs, would you ?!?

Like many people, I stopped biking 'cos of money and work pressure (*no kids though*), but I also had a lot of problems standing up straight after riding *normal* bikes for any distance. (Dodgy hips.)

The wonderful bloke who got me riding again by nagging me to 'just get a bike' is not with us any more.

I will always remember Guy Malcolm with tremendous fondness.

I just wish that T595 hadn't spat him off so hard.

Please ride safely on the roads - get off-road or onto the track if you want some fast fun.
