| Introduction | Biking is in my blood I was introduced to bikes from an early age by my father who like most Lads" in the 50's/60's relied on bikes as their only means of transport and the image it portrayed (Rock 'n' Roll) This was realised whilst at Bovington in my teens (this is where Wendy and I first met) where I made use of a F1SE 50cc moped which we used to ride over the Tank Ranges. After joining the Royal Marines I purchased my first bike, a Green Honda CB250G for £360 off a mate, I fell off within 100 yards after I was distracted by a pigeon, my first crash... I went on to complete a Royal Marines Despatch Riders course in 1978 learning a great deal about riding bikes on and off road. I have toured Europe extensively since 1989 and also toured Southern India on a Royal Enfield Bullet 350 as well as riding to Southern Turkey for charity. The sense of freedom, the open roads, the fresh air, and the challenge of riding distances and battling the weather are all part of the thrill. We now own a modest B&B in the Correze accommodating Motorcyclists and offering guided tours of the Central Massif. www.ridersrest.net |
