Hello folks, intro time..
Hometown; Grimsby, Lincs.
Age; James Toseland.. (go figure).

Fave test-ride road; B1203 Ravendale to Market Rasen near Grimsby, fab tight-twisty-hilly-bumpy-quiet, really tests any bike, big or small (it's too far to The Mountain, IOM).
Fave Biking destination; IOM TT, nowhere else comes close.
Fave rider; Yer Maun, Joey.
Best bike quote; 'It was sucking the rabbits out of the hedges', Guy Martin, Manx RadioTT c2010..ish.
Best non-biking quote; 'Sorry mate, I can't hear what you're saying cos your mouth's full of sh!t', John Cooper Clark c1979..ish.
Odd things; I can ride a unicycle, like to surf, walk on my hands, and I write poems about the TT.
Secret; I quite like wallpapering.!
Next bike; probably a pushbike or the bus.
Cheers, Mick, aka King Orry.
