I have never met the guy, but we once talked via the internet. IIRC I nearly signed up to go on one of his European tours but the dates didn't work for me. I lust after his garage now!

Andy has posted on here, but I can't remember his new user name!

Went back up to Yorkshire a couple of weeks ago and went to my mates house for the first time in 5 years. This was in the dining room/office

Had a sit on it, the reach to the bars is much less than my Le Mans, been promised a go on it if I go back in the summer. There is also an immaculate X7 in the conservetory. He's about to have his double garage extended x3 so he can get all the bikes together out of the various barns they are in. He reckons he has about 30, plus the attic space of one of the barns full of bits, bike frames, plastics and various stuff. Some of the bikes from memory BWW 1000RR, Suzuki TL1000, RG500, RG250 GT750, couple more X7s, Honda CBR600, CX500 a Yamha 750 race bike several moto cross bikes including twin shock ones

Bought my track R6 off Andy and did a load of trackdays where he was instructing. Him and Rich are great blokes.

Nice bike collection.
