The picture was taken on a club ride in New Zealand - me acting the fool looking for ships beside my delightful R65.
This is the first posting by the author using this most fascinating media and like most beginners is feeling his way around; an ancient child with a new toy metaphorically sucking it to see what it tastes like. Forgive me if I am clumsy but have patience and read on to find out what I am and what I do.
I am a motorcyclist who has ridden in the UK, New Zealand and Australia. I started riding in 1959 and only in recent years stopped actively riding but still on two wheels in my mind and my memories.
Since I was a child I have either owned or claimed ownership of a number of cats and as a result I have written poems and stories concerning motorcycles or cats. For a selections of these and a deeper profile of yours truly click HERE for my website: http://www.jamesapps.org.uk/
As for my interests, apart from motorcycles, biking in general, poetry, shorts tories and cats, I am also interested in issues such as global warming, ecology, curious about what is over the next hill, Zen thoughts and practice, the study of Aikido and Tai Chi, music ranging from Carmen, symphonies, rock music, American Country, Irish Folk, Australian Folk, Folk music, Frank Sinatra, Tom T Hall, Reggae, Hymns and anything that takes my fancy.
I like to discuss silly conspiracy theories and claim to be a fan of Wierd Al. Among my favorite books are Catch 22, The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, A Brief History of Time, Three Men in a Boat, The Wind in the Willows, Now we are six, Alice in Wonderland, The Thirteen Clocks, The Half Men of O, Slaughterhouse Five, Ragtime and Terry Pratchett's Disc World novels to name a few from a huge list of well remembered stories.
