| Introduction | A mature life long biker, the first road bike I owned at 17 was an old 250cc BSA C12, then I progressed to a 350cc Norton Navigator, then '57 650cc Triumph Tiger 110, then a '61 650cc Triumph Bonneville T120R. I followed this with an 850 Norton Commando, Triumph Trident T150 and T160. Following an argument with a car and 22 months off work, I owned a Moto Guzzi 850 California for 10 years, then a MotoGuzzi 1000 California. Now riding a 1998 Triumph Trophy 900cc, a 2000 Triumph Sprint RS 955i and a 2002 Tiger 955i and 2012 Tiger 88R. I was employed by a National Rail Company as a Project Manager, but I am now retired, having accepted redundancy. I am based in the South West, and living in a small Devon village. I took and passed the the IAM Advanced Test with DAM, (Devon Advanced Motorcyclists) and did some training with North Devon RoSPA Motorcycle Section. So that's it, except I have 26 call ducks, 6 rabbits and look after sick, injured and orphaned hedgehogs, and do a bit of volunteer stuff for Devon Air Ambulance.
