A BIT ABOUT PAUL & ANGIE

Paul decided to return to biking last July after a gap of twenty years. Back in those days, as you know, CBT wasn’t around, and he rode a Honda Superdream 250cc on L plates. So away he went and completed the CBT, Direct Access and the Test and away we went!

I was new to biking, I hadn’t ridden pillion before and I was horrified about the whole thing. I needn’t have worried, I took to it like a duck to water, and love every minute of it, and we spend every minute we can when we aren’t working out and about.

The 41-81 Club was an idea dreamed up one lunchtime in Safeway’s Cafe, with suggestions thrown in by Colin and Lisa (owners of the Lazy Wave Cafe - far end of Shanklin Esplanade), who unfortunately haven’t been able to attend one of the rides yet because of work commitments.

This July saw us off on our first touring trip on the Mainland down to Devon, we had seven days without rain (hard to believe, I know). We had a great time and can thoroughly recommend the Devon area for touring as it isn’t too far away and very scenic.

We look forward to the Club growing in the future and we really enjoy meeting all types of biking enthusiasts.

I booked my CBT and Direct Access - can't beat them - join them

Well! success, I passed in September 2003
I now have a Dragstar 650, see you on the next run
