About me

As of Nov 08 have bought a Ducati multistrada 1000DS this is ssooooo much fun

February 2011...still got the Multistrada and now 50,000 miles futher on and still the silly grin when I go out for a blast or when I get to work (42 miles away)

In September 2011 did a tour of Scotland, 500 mile to get there 800 mile around the top, the 500 back home. That is so the place I would like to live the roads are sooooo nice and no one in the way.....biking heaven.

January 2012 75,000 miles and still going strong, a bit lonely out on the roads as all the shiny bikes are tucked up in their garages....missing all the fun Ha Ha
