I ride a tatty 1998 BMW R1100GS and I live on the SE London/Kent border. I’ve been riding since 1984 (not continuously!) and have worked as a bike courier for various London and SE England companies.
I now work as a parts advisor in a bike dealership, which is the second best job in the world ever. Best job in the world ever is being Ewan Macgregor, but I understand that the vacancy has been filled.
