I have ridden motorcycles since 1986 passing my full test in May 1988. I first started motorcycling when I borrowed a friends Suzuki TS50ER and then went on to ride a many bikes over the years and currently ride a Triumph Tiger 800 2013 model.
I believe all riders should try and improve their riding skills, I took a RoSPA Advanced Drivers course in the 90's in my car but use the techniques used whilst riding my motorcycle. Each year I try and attend a BikeSafe assessment, if you cannot find one in your area contact the Traffic Division of your local Constabulary and see if they do assessed rides from the station or regional training centre. Some run day or weekend workshops.
I thought that I would make a list of bikes that I have riden over the years, most recent first. This page is a work in progress while I found out any old pictures of my bikes. Some pictures are not very good quality as it is either an image from an old digital camera or a scan of a picture.
