This website is dedicated to my wife Tracey for all the years she has had to put up with me, believed in me and supported me. Thank you, I will always love you.

05-MAR-09: If you live around Norwich and need computer support then please check out Mouse Computing. There is a discount for NUS and over 60s.

25-MAR-08: Found out last week that my name was googled by members of my new employer.

08-NOV-07: I have accidentally moved to Suffolk. Okay that was a little lie. The roads are quiet up here, so looking forward to getting the bike out and meeting new people before the snow gets here.

13-SEP-07: The mate I bought the Faser off of is setting up a new business called Eight Ball Leisure which is based in Bridlington and serve the East Yorkshire area. They do basic table valet, to a full re-cover of the bed and cushions. New and user tables bought and sold. High quality and economy cues, cases, ball sets, rests and chalk are available from our extensive range of accessories for pool and snooker tables.

07-AUG-07: Quick update. Bulldog Bash is nearly here and RD350 is painted and leak free. Updates hopefully at the end of the month.

27-JUN-07: My wife has found a buyer for my ER5 which was sold today. I will always have a soft spot for the ER5 so the section and mailing list will remain.

05-MAY-07: Since the 31st March 2007 I now own another bike, the Yamaha FZS600. I will create a section in due course. Bought it up in Bridlington and rode it all the way back here a total distance of 251 miles. This now means I am trying to sell the ER5 but all I seem to get are email scams from people wanting to pay by cheque and have the bike shipped somewhere. Sigh...

02-FEB-07: The RD350 is currently having a re-spray to put it back to black. It is almost ready and will be picked up soon. Hope to update that section with new pictures and details on getting this sort of job done.

02-JAN-07: My wife decided just before Christmas to have her hair cut short after having it long for a very long time and get sponsorship too. She raised over 100 uk pounds for NABD - National Association for Bikers with a Disability. A big thanks to everyone, particularly GirlsBike2 in Dorking for allowing us to leave a sponsorship form there.

14-DEC-06: Paid a visit to GirlsBike2 which recently opened in Dorking for a Christmas late opening event. These shops cater for women by having bike gear which is actually made for a womens shape.

10-DEC-06: Went on the Reading Toy Run. Even though it rained there were over 1,000 motorcycles.

27-SEP-06: I have created a mailing list for the ER5 through Yahoo Groups, take a look at the bottom of my ER5 page.

01-SEP-06: NOTE: The Guestbook has been removed because I am getting alot of adverts being put there. I may bring it back in the future.

15-SEP-06: Now the BMF - Tail End brings their bike shows to an end for another year. I went up as part of the LC Club stand as my wife was showing off her Yamaha RD350 YPVS.

10-AUG-06: Cannot believe it is the Bulldog Bash again but this time their 20th. Saw Eddie Kidd there again this year. I did not realise that it was at the Bulldog bash in 1996 where he had his accident. Please check out his web site, an amazing bloke.

05-JUL-06: Went to Scarborough this week. Went to Squires Cafe for an excellent bikers meeting place and cheap food.

22-FEB-06: I tried this last year but forgot to put the figures up. Have you ever wondered how much your bike gear weighs. Right, Me and Gear is 77Kg - Me 69K with gear removed equals 8Kg. Leathers, boots, gloves and lid weigh 8Kg.

14-FEB-05: I reported some time ago that it looked like the ER5 is being replaced with the new ER6, I was incorrect, Kawasaki have no plans to stop making the ER5.

25-JAN-06: Today is the 20th birthday of the first PC virus called Brian which appeared in January 1986. An artical on Gizmag.co.uk explains that this was the first PC virus but not the first ever.

11-NOV-05: Apparently with a 4 stroke you should start it with your lights off, clutch in and bike upright.

10-OCT-05: I heard recently that the box on your insurance form that says any modifications? this in fact included a bike racks, so my Givi rack should be mentioned even though the luggage might not be covered.
