Who am I? Born and lived in Lincolnshire all of my 40 something years, I have lived a very varied life and consider myself qualified on the University of Life. But.. I am honest and not afraid to get on my soapbox if something annoys me. I live alone with my two Staffordshire Bull Terriers…
Whilst the football was on I went for a ride
Tonight was the England match – which I later found out they lost, so all the football fans will no doubt be out rioting on the streets as the England team fly home. Me- being the worlds worst football supporter decided to take advantage of the super quiet roads and go out. After riding for…
Ride To The Dunes 2018
Well what a fabulous event that was. My first charity group ride-out with over 600 (some estimate 800) bikers all riding for the Me & Dee Charity from Nottingham via Tattershall picnic park to the seafront at Mablethorpe on a hot summers day. I left home early morning to meet up with some families from…
Recording my Journeys
So I love going out on my motorbike, yes. As I attended a big biker event yesterday, Ride To The Dunes I decided I would get an action cam to record my journey. Now not having much money to spend and the fact if I crashed then the camera would get destroyed I purchased this…
Two topics in one..Mental Health issues and a motorcyclist
Since getting my scooter I have been subscribing to several YouTube videos. One subscription an interesting topic came up with this guy Dan discussing mental health issues whilst on his motorbike. I sometimes use getting out on my scooter as a release from the pressures of daily life. Watch this and enjoy the rideout 🙂…
Car and van drivers are dangerous-RANT
As a newbie motorcyclist, my observations have heightened as to how irresponsible and dangerous car and van drivers can be. Now I am not the perfect driver, not by a long stretch but a couple of near misses on my bike have opened my eyes. The first was a car heading straight for me driving…
Once again the Tories are screwing the elderly disabled with P.I.P.
Picture the situation.. An elderly person in her late sixties who has various disabilities was granted “indefinite Disability Living Allowance” only three years ago was written to last year informing her that she would be moving to the Tories latest quango Personal Independence Payment. She had a massive form to fill in of which was so…
New Year New Hobby-Motorbikes
After running around like an idiot delivering parcels in the lead up to Christmas, my blogging and free time has been pretty much non-existent. However, all that extra work has paid dividends and helped me realise a dream I had when I was a teenager. Over the past few months, I have been aquiring motorbike…
Another Tory Budget for the rich – time for a change
I watched the Budget 2017 today hoping that the Chancellor would at least make my life a bit better. Over the next two weeks, I am working 20 days straight in the gig economy earning less than £10 per hour after expenses and tax thanks to the American invention called “Black Friday“. I have to…
Is Louth Hospital Closing? Of Course Not
Yes, you heard it first, Louth Hospital IS NOT CLOSING. (Well not at the moment anyway). Throughout Louth there is general apathy that Louth Hospital is going nowhere and its “business as usual” – even the leader of LCHS says so. He told Louth Town Council “nothing that he had seen”. Our local MP brands…
The big number rip off
Its a while since I last blogged, but something caught my attention this morning – a HUGE mobile phone bill. Picture the scene… I was in the middle of nowhere after someone ran into the back of my car because she wasn’t concentrating on the road – yes she admitted it! I called the insurance…
