I passed my test within a month of my 17^th birthday and from that day have owned Japanese, British and German machines of all types … singles/twins/triples/boxers/flat fours/inline fours and even a Honda CBX six cylinder.  As a 365 all year round rider both commuting in London and extensively touring Europe. I also campaign for safer motorcycling, have been a SERV blood runner and have appeared on national TV campaigning for better road maintenance.
