Weekend warrior since January due to work and succumbing to having to buy my own tin can. But what a tin can! A Tempest 1000cc!







That's a wee granny mobile Nissan Micra actually. Got a sun roof so I can fit in it without adopting a racing crouch.

Used to be a weekend warrior, but now with the job and avoiding the car like the plague I'm happy to be a full timer.

I probably do 60-70% adventure riding, the rest is green laning.

I combined the two this weekend and took my explorer off road on a couple of trails

Bike is my only form of transport unless the wife is driving the car for the family trips, works well
So I commute, meander, have fun etc on it, for example I'm gonna do the lake and peak district roads the long way home (Norwich) from work in Birmingham and Preston next week...

Full-timer because the bike gets used the most of the time, with the exception of commuting and shopping.
