Hello all at ABR.

Been lurking and reading a while since being told about this place by Tramp. Some of you might know me from XRV.org.uk where I post (very) occasionally as 1gear1brake. I see a lot of names here that I recognise from XRV.

My bike of choice is my Africa Twin which I absolutely love to bits. I enjoy touring and the occasional trip off-road

My touring started back in 1992 when I met my long time touring buddy Matt. We went across France ending up in Corsica (by bicycle!). A few years later we went 4000 miles east to west across America also by bicycle. Now we have graduated onto motorbikes and we've been around France and Spain a few times and up to Nordcap. Here's a pic of Matt with our bikes in the Bardenas in Spain last year.

Been going to the HU meetings in Ripley for the last 5 or 6 years for inspiration but not yet done a real 'adventure' tour. One day, I will get beyond the boundaries of Europe but the next trip planned is Portugal next Easter.

Nice to be here and looking forward to reading peoples' tales of adventure....

Good intro :) Welcome to the site.
I went to the Caribbean on holiday with my wife last year.

Jamaica?

No, she wanted to.

Hi Dylan...welcome to the site
