One Step at a Time

This is the true story of how my passion for motorbikes nearly killed me and subsequently changed my entire life.

After the last accident I suffered from a Hemiparesis (A traumatic brain injury). I was left with life changing problems especially with my mobility. The biggest problem I had was, should I listen to what the specialists had to say, or should I ignore them and fight it anyway? (No contest) I was going to fight it.

Up to now it's a fight that has lasted 42 years, and I'm still fighting it. I will be the first to admit that it hasn't been easy, far from it, but what I have achieved has far surpassed anything I could have hoped for. Not only did I fight the specialists, I fought the system, a system which seems to be geared up to make life a lot harder for those who want to try. It seems to me that you get a lot more out of the system if you sit back on your bum and do sod all.

I wanted more than that, I wanted my life and my mobility back. There have been lots of ups and downs along the way, as well as four marriages, but giving in was never an option, not then, not now and not ever.
