Ha - if I don't count the tincan moped I had at age 17, it was the ubiquitous Honda CG125, riding on L-plates on a car licence in pre-CBT days (old git that I am). Did the job at the time for zipping around London and getting to lectures and the odd amble down to the South Coast on A-roads.
What's the most challenging thing you've ever done?
Chatting on BikerMatch of course As well as the occasional visit to the pub I like to tinker about with anything mechanical, play a bit of ten pin bowling, attempting to learn to play the guitar.
Can you play an instrument, if not what would you like to play?
out. definately. we give them millions and dont get it back. we're being invaded by that lot. a lot of them are criminals, and they're just allowed to stay here. we're going to get dragged into this greece crap. they're forcing a load of stupid laws on us. look at that hanza bloke. cameron and his cronies are scared to do anything because of that lot from the eec. they wont hold a referendom because they know most people will vote against it.
stay in eec or out
Really don't mind either - there's loads of the UK that I'd still like to explore, and many places that I love going back to. However, that's also true for places abroad - I'm exceptionally lucky in that my job means that I travel a lot, so have seen some truly wonderful (and also some truly awful) places and met some amazing people.
If push comes to shove, I'll say abroad (as at least I then have the option of going somewhere warm!)
Do you think that life on this planet is all there is?
