Born in Essex, but moved all around the country as the daughter of an
RAF Sergeant. Dad had all the usual bikes of the time and tells tales of taking
me for rides on the tank
of his AJS, not that I remember it. We eventually
settled in the west country in my mid teens where I have more or less remained
ever since.
In 1976 I was one of the first pupils to take an O level in Computer
Science, a bit of a new-fangled subject, (mainly meant for boys I was told) but
I had a feeling that this computer lark would catch on! Seems that for once I
made a good choice as all through my working life I have managed to bluff my
way through as some sort of computer buff J. My "real”
qualification is in accountancy and I have mainly worked in environments such
as software development which overlap both accounts and IT thus not getting
bogged down with having to do tax returns etc! All in all it has kept me pretty busy over the
years and I have been able to continue to learn new skills as technology develops. Useful as I have been drafted in to write this new site!
I met Nigel in 2006 and at that time I had never really been anywhere near a motorbike, in fact to me they all looked the same. I was soon to be re-educated! Through various twists of fate and writing a website for Nigel I have now become fully involved in his Classic Ducati Motorcycle business and the learning curve has been steep to say the least. As a bit of a dare I took my CBT a couple of years ago and then sort of accidentally on Ebay bought myself a cute little Yamaha SR125 to ride with L plates. The real aim was to pass my "big bike” test but to date I have not managed to get any free time to do this, still there as a possibility as Nigel keeps buying more bikes. Oh, technically I also own a Ducati Brio 48.
