Profile : 40 something Audiologist living in Malvern, into rock music, my bike, dogs, cats, going to the gym. I don't do cooking, cleaning the bike or maintaining the bike, Gaz does all of that much too well for me to compete so I do his accounts and banking in exchange!
History : Sat on the back of boyfriends bikes for years then got a divorce and decided it was time I got a bike of my own. Started with a Honda Rebel ( i loved that bike and called it Jonny!)then a 250 Virago (piece of ****) then a Honda Shadow (too uncomfortable for long trips) and then go the Drifter and found Heaven even if it does kill me if I have to push it backward on an uphill incline!
Just done 2500 miles round France on the Drifter and pottered about on a 125 something or other in Goa in February - those indian drivers are a real experience - just keep your thumb on the horn and it'll all be alright!!!!!!!
