I passed my test within a month of my 17^th birthday and from that day have owned Japanese, British and German machines of all types … singles/twins/triples/boxers/flat fours/inline fours and even a Honda CBX six cylinder.  As a 365 all year round rider both commuting in London and extensively touring Europe. I also campaign for safer motorcycling, have been a SERV blood runner and have appeared on national TV campaigning for better road maintenance.

I have a strong affiliation with motorcycling starting with my Dad’s 1956 BSA Bantam. 2016 was my golden anniversary for a motorcycle license. My first bike was a 250 cc AJS others include Matchless, Norton, Royal Enfield, Francis Barnet, James, Velocette, Honda, Kawasaki, Yamaha and BMW my current ride is an S1000 XR.

Phil is ourTraining Co-ordinator and currently rides a Yamaha MT10.  A restauranteur, bonviveur (especially when touring France), Phil organises the monthly scheduled rides. So he has to be a mean rider!
