Got into bikes in 1979 thanks to my Dad. Owned a bike ever since, except for 6 months when I lost the will to smile. Taught my Mum to ride and pass her test.

Have toured most of UK and popular bits of Europe inc Eire.

Been a courier, enjoyed it. Attempted track days, not my best work.

Used to panic in tight corners and planned to go to the Alps on my bike for a holiday, so thought IAM training might be useful. Started IAM training in 2007.

Observer since 2009. Masters achieved in 2016.

Enjoy helping others.
