Born and raised in the North West. I've wanted a motorbike for as long as I remember, I finally got the ball rolling at the end of 2006. I currently ride a ZX6-R, which I use to commute to work every day and having fun during the evenings and weekends.
After 4 months of riding a 125 I took my DAS with West Pennine training school in Blackburn. Theory (35/35, 59/75) DAS passed no minors. Once I was legal I got myself a Honda VFR400 (NC30). The bike was showing signs of it's age (91) and needed some minor work on it to get it road worthy. After 8 months and 8 thousand miles I was ready to move onto something a little more up to date. I did some research and after a few weeks decided on the Kawasaki ZX-6R (636) Ninja. The bike is much more suited to my build and I'm really happy with it so far.
Current bike (ZX-6R):
06, purchased with 1500 miles, spotless condition.
Now Sold - 2nd bike (NC30):
91, purchased with 30k miles, 8th owner in the UK, required some TLC
My first bike was an imported Yamaha YBR125. It was a cracking reliable little thing which I miss now I've sold it. After 2 winters and 4000miles it was still in excellent nick :
