Motorbikes is theoretically my main hobby, mainly Ariels (great history and a tenuous link with Rover). As a side to that I've somehow ended up with a decent collection of motorcycle magazines going back 90 years mostly with Ariels on the cover.
I'm also a fan of cycling. I've racked up a lot of miles over the past year on a 80's Hercules Commuter and have a 1937 Raleigh for pottering with the missus.
Over the years I've spent a lot of time around horses, my daughter was a showjumper before she had children and my granddaughter is now competing amazingly well. I'm hopeless on a horse but am in demand for driving & maintaining the lorry :¬)
She's also doing well on Instagram! Bella
But in reality most of my spare time is as deputy gardener. I enjoy it but my word its bad for the back.....
