a naked one like calendar girls .. hidden artily like that one behind your KTM would be fun.. especially in Monaco..

Wow - it's been a while since I've been on the org, this isn't a job, it's a lifestyle...

So let's see, since I last posted I've fallen in love, resigned, got a new job, sailed nearly a thousand nautical miles between France, Italy, Corsica, Elba, Sardinia and the surrounding islands and I'm pretty much not going to slow down until October...

Will probably be selling the car and bike, getting something a bit more pillion friendly (ZZ-R1400 anybody?) and moving semi-permanently to the south of France...

That's about it, but here's a few photos from facebook to make everybody jealous...

Oh, and before you laugh at this one, bear in mind I'm earning the equivalent of roughly £40,000 a year in the UK wearing this uniform...

so glad it's working out for you!

Not in France you won't, unless you cut its knackers off!!! They don't do a ZZR14 with 106 bhp!

Pah such a hard life you lead

Sounds great, well with the possible exception of the ZZR...

Which night are you in the barrel?

Nice one, takes ball to change your lifestyle on that scale.

I know a person that now captains very large sailing vessel all over the world for it's owner, and the owner is only on it a couple of months of the year. I have a colleague that now works on yachts that charter at £250k a week... The tip for workers is normally 10% of the charter per week which is spread out evenly between all the crew.

It's a good life if it's for you. I would love to do it if I wasn't so settled, just working a week outside the UK every other week is hard enough on my partner.

So jealous.
Would love to do something like this!!
Unfortunately I am married and probably lack the necessary skills to be able to do it.
