I currently ride a Yamaha XT660Z Ténéré and a BMW R1200GS.

The BMW GS is close to the perfect bike. It doesn't matter if you want to cross continents,
thrash around country lanes, (light) off roading, solo or with a pillion. It does everything I
want it to and more, in comfort and style.

The Yamaha Ténéré is my latest toy, slightly lighter than the BMW and easier to handle off-road,
exploring Green Lanes and also commuting to work.

Previous bikes include a Kawasaki KLX 250S, Yamaha XT225 Serow, BMW F650GS Dakar,
Suzuki Bandit 1200, Yamaha XJ650 Turbo, Yamaha XJ550, Honda CB250N,
Yamaha SR250, Honda XL100, and where it all began, a Yamaha FS1EDX.
