My Bike Story  - Liam 

Im a mechanical engineer, with a rather obsessive passion for all things mechanical. I have always wanted to join the motorcycle brother hood but never took the plunge. When.I was young had the obligatory "they are too dangerous" stance from the family but on completion of a change of direction in my life I began my motorcycle journey with Vale Moto Training in south wales. Even after a damp CBT lesson on a Honda 125cbf I was hooked! 

Immediately started planning for my full licence. Being 28 at the time able to jump straight in for a DAS. I completed my theory and Mod1 in south wales. 

Then on moving to oxfordshire sought out Abbey Motorcycle Instructors on the advice of a local motorcycle clothing shop. With AMI I completed my Mod2 and have never looked back.

Motorcycle's for me are a passion and a means of escapism. For me its the perfect way to unwind after a draining week at work. The more people I can share this passion with the better!

The all important question..... "what bike you got bro?".....

I have a Suzuki SV650 K3 2004 plate naked. I looked and looked and looked. I contemplated fazers, zz600's, thundercats and hornets but in the end that v-twin and rave reviews won me over. And I love it. Its so much more than a "first big bike". 

Anyway that's my story so far.
