I was a latecomer to motorcycling when in May 2003 I passed my motorbike test having taken the then Direct Access scheme.  My first machine was an Aprilia Caponord which I kept for the next 2 years.  ​Like most folks life took over, the bike was sold and it was only in retirement that I decided to get another in July 2021; this time settling on my current BMW R1200GS TE.

​

I rode for a few years and once I'd maximised all that I could do myself I began looking for a way to better my skills set: I'd been a Police Class 1 Traffic Officer for 24 1/2 years so Roadcraft was an old friend but realised after getting used to the machine that I was ready for bespoke input in order to progress and to achieve the standard of riding I wished to attain on the bike.

​

So, in July 2023 when I saw a flyer for ARNY (especially being RoSPA affiliated) I checked out their Facebook page and Website and liking what I read joined on the spot.  From October 2023 I progressed through my Associate training and passed with a Gold in September 2024 and was subsequently invited to become a Group Tutor.  In February of this year, with other colleagues I commenced the training process and was signed off in early April.

​

I've always greatly enjoyed working with people, especially helping them achieve in the ways that suits them best and look forward to doing the same within ARNY.
