Gave the biking up 22 years ago - last bike was a CBX550 but loved the CX500 I had and also had a few MZ's.

Back in the 70'2 I did motor cycle grass track racing

and then went into training learner riders for Cheshire County Council as a volunteer and at the same time trained riders to pass their Institute of Advanced Motorists advanced test.

Fond memories.

Ruptured cruciate ligament in knee at Nissan Sunderland, then spent 2 weeks in Preston burns unit after getting caught in a fire stunt :o
