Slightly eccentric, wicked sense of humour.
Self confessed watch cheapskate, who tinkers with watches.
Love motorbikes, to date, I've ridden about 250,000 miles, 113,000 of which are on my BMW 1150GS.
Most expensive mistakes ever made? Women🙄😁

At the moment I have a BMW 1150GS, had it for 20 years, ridden 112,000 miles on it. Moto Guzzi California 3, ridden about 12,000. Inbetween buying the GS and now. I had a Yamaha Xj900, 60,000 miles on that. Yamaha FJ1200 about 20,000. HONDA CB1-400, about 20,000.
At one point I had 5 bikes🤔🙄

Bought this a year ago for £18, optimistically hoped to find a case for it. It sits inside one of my pocket watch display domes. It was advertised as...
