Hi all,
Been around bikes my entire life, started in fields from about 9 been on them ever since now 65. Had all the classics in the day RGV’s CBX, Exup, GSXR’s. Etc etc. Raced a bit including world endurance, then got fed up with ass up head down and went adventure route. XT 650, Transalp, GS and GSA’s KTM adv, Suzuki DL1000. Ridden all over Europe with SHMBO plus Africa, Himalayas, Nepal, south India and a bit of Mexico and down to South America. Have met some great people on the road as well as at meetings of another well known site.
Looking forward to so good reading and banter.

Re: Good day one and all
That's an interesting biking 'CV'. Who did you race with in World Endurance? I never made it to that level, sadly, but did KRC for a few years.
If you've got any pics of your travels stick 'em up in the pics section - always good to see some proper adventure memories.

Re: Good day one and all
Yes, I agree that's an interesting biking CV. The only competitive biking I've done certainly wasn't racing, it was just the opposite.... trials. I'm guessing the other well known site you mention is HU; probably the best for adventurer types (IMO of course).
