Bikeography

Started riding on 500 Norton Dominator at age 13, then a 650 BSA Gold Flash. A 175 Honda my first licenced road bike then two Suzuki 500 Titans, two Suzuki 750 water buckets.
Had a break from riding, Family first.
This time had a 750 Honda K2, brought AXS650 Yamaha as a winter project, two weeks later it was on the road, re-painted as well. It had'nt run for four years. Traded this in on a 1100 Yamaha Virago, then joined the Wanbro Sound Wanderers.
Now traded for 1500 Nomad to the present updage, a 1500 Nomad later model.

I'm growing old disgracefully by

Still drinking, fishing and riding.
Not necessarily in that order.
