Fantasy Bike: Ducati Panigale V4. Preferred Roads: Any area that has nice flowing undulating roads with very little traffic or villages.
When did you first start riding? Motorcycling was in my blood. When I was born my dad picked us up from the hospital on a motorbike and sidecar. I always had a passion for motorcycles. If any of my friends had a bike I would be there riding over the fields; you could get away with doing that in the early 70s. On my 16th birthday I bought a brand new Fizzy in 1974 for ÂŁ199. Had it on HP at ÂŁ10 month for two years. Bike was stolen after six months.
