Other hobbies:
Canal boats, now about to start rebuilding our third. Industrial Architecture / history. Steam trains and traction engines I toured extensively in UK and Western Europe on bikes in 70's & 80's. Participated in the original Round Britain Rally's in 73,74 & 75 and caught the bug. Could never forget the great rides the original rallies give me on my Norton Commando and MZ. But no one was running anything similar so thought I would have a go at resurrecting it for 1993 it's 20th anniversary (it gave an excuse for a super ride round Scotland again). That was supposed to be a one off event for about 20 people, but the participants demanded another in 1994 so it grew and grew and is becoming almost a club event with many people taking part each year.
