Let the ice cream, hit the cone - sorry too much take me out

Hi Ladies and Gents,

I'm Andy, I'm 23 and I live in Bedfordshire, UK.

I got into biking around 7 years ago (I feel old ) when I was first given a Piaggio zip scooter for my 16th birthday - the poor thing didn't stand a chance with me, as in the end it ended up being just a stunt bike lol. I purchased a Honda Cityfly 125cc for my 17th birthday and then, for my 18th purchased a Aprilia RS 125.

My first "big" bike was a 1999 Honda CBR 600f, but unfortunately, having only passed my test for a week! I got it de-restricted (required by law, as I was under 21) and on the road for only 4 days!!! Unfortunately, some clown pulled out on me and I had my first accident, I was very lucky as I managed to just swerve into his bonnet and ended up flying over the top of the car - if i didn't swerve those couple of inches (believe me, it was close) my neck would've easily been broken - Bad times.

Now, after I built up the courage, it took two and half years, I decided it was time to enjoy my full, unrestricted license and I did so by test riding the Kawasaki Ninja, Honda CBR 600 and R6. None of these bikes did the trick for me so my father said to me "Why not try the Woburn Triumph Dealership?". I did and guess what I brought?... That's right, my 2010 Triumph Daytona 675cc SE, which you can all see on YouTube and hopefully on ride outs.

That's my story (sorry it's a bit of a read), please love and accept me lol. VIVA LA DAYTONA!

Andy Chapman.
