My hobby.....

I know it says non biking hobby... but....
I've been involved in the world of bike racing since I was a lad. Originally starting in schoolboy trialling at 12 years old, I started to help out with a few mates who turned to racing.
I spannered for a number of years and then lost a bit of interest when one of my best mates died in a racing accident in the '80's.
I got back into it in the late '90's and decided to run a classic Suzuki in the CRMC C'ships..... since 2003 my little bike, a Suzuki 196cc Invader has won the C'ship seven times..... not with me on board, I hasten to add.......

Nice one m8. Hope to get to one of your track days some time, but living up here in Scotland doesn't present many opportunities. :-??
