In some quarters I am known as ‘The Rocket Man”. That pleases me. After all I am the only man to have ridden around the world on a Triumph Rocket: with 2,300 cc between my legs. It is the world’s largest capacity production motorcycle.

Triumph Motorcycles invited me to their factory launch of a new Triumph Rocket in late July 2019. I was mentioned in their presentation to invited journalists, and described as a ‘VIP’. I felt very humble.

It was a terrific occasion which I thoroughly enjoyed.
