I've long since lost count of the number of motorcycles I've had over the years, since my first 50cc AP50 at 16.

I've always enjoyed riding and working on bikes. I currently own a number of modern & classics machines.

This page has details of some of my rides as weall as details and links to information sources.

Aprilia Tuono

2005 vintage Tuono Factory.

Great bike to ride with lots of twin power which comes in with an unexpected rush, much like a 2-stroke.

 

 
 

Kawasaki Z650C3

Purchased complete and just about running, but needing a complete strip and rebuild to clean it all up.

Suzuki AP50 - PMT 553R

Where it all started. I don't have a picture of my actual bike. It was a 1977 'R' Reg Red AP50. Got it for my 16th birthday from Eddy Grimsteads in East Ham. I'd never really been interested in biking before this, even though my older brother had a bike. The first day I rode it, I was hooked and never looked back.

Like I say, long since lost count of all the bikes I've owned and no longer have any details for many. Some of the registrations for some I used to own (note none of current bikes listed) are listed below. I'd be interested if any of these still exist, so please drop me an email.
