yamahawk, i'm also a committed christian but everyone has a vice so mine is speeding!! i work as a site manager in a residential behavioural school which is quite challenging, such as being punched, kicked and spat on regularly. but it's a fun job and it funds my riding habit...

Hehe I like speed also, and that's why I race! It is a passion, and it's safer than speeding on the street... which as you probably know, gets us in trouble lol.

From the states.  A career teacher, high school English and coached American football and baseball.  Moved on to public school administration and that, with moves and promotions, has been my path.  Bought my imported Honda 750 new in 1973 at Fort Bragg; they were bringing them in by the truck load for all the soldiers.  Been on and off that bike every since, with only 2 minimal wrecks.  More damage to me than the bike. Currently superintendent for a large school system with 183 schools and over 160,000 kids in k-12.

I'm not sure whether John has a pilots licence, I have had mine for some 45 years now. The most recent obsession with bikes (second time around here, my first was in the 1970's) was meant to wean me off aviation before retirement, however now I am hooked on both!

I went to Staverton on my qualifying cross-country from Cardiff. . I went there once in the 70's for a motorcycle race, North Gloucester MC organised it IIRC.

After 6 years of fixing manky old dishwashers I've finally handed in my notice.   I'm starting with Streetwise in Cardiff tomorrow teaching people how to drive.   My phone hasn't stopped ringing and I have 5 x 2-hour sessions booked already.
 Just hope I don't F... up too badly.
Where's that 10mm socket got to?

Don't mind the Cardiff traffic,  no more M5, M4, Severn bridge to worry about.

Fiesta is raring to go.  Washed all the salt off it and made final adjustments to the dual controls.   

John, I'll have more biking time so we could ride off somewhere.   The A466 past Tintern springs to mind.
