What bike do you ride?
Currently riding a Triumph speed triple 2008.

Preferred bike you’ve owned?
First bike and the one who got away was a 1998 Honda hornet 250cc, red lined at 18k revs and sounded ridiculous.

How long have you been riding?
Riding since 2016.

How long have you been a member of WMCC?
Been a member since march/April 2022.

Favourite place to ride?
Favourite place to ride is the lake district.

Funniest ride out?
Silly Story: Flipped the hornet riding through a ford and managed to bend the gear lever leaving me stuck in 2nd gear in the peak district. Scary story: Had been riding less than a week and decided to go out in winter fog in the peaks, managed to cross a STOP junction over a main road while locking my back wheel and didn’t come off! Having glow worms in jam jars for lights didn’t help.

If you could ride anywhere in the world on that dream bike where would it be?
My dream bike would have to be just more bikes for different days . Never ridden abroad yet but I’d love to tour Europe specifically passing through Switzerland.
