>Meet The Team
Alan
Your Tour Leader and the man behind Blueyondertours, has been riding since he was twenty (so read a LONG time!) and has lost count of the numbers of bikes owned, but memorable ones include his first, a KH125; one of the first CBR1000s, a CBR600RR and his current machine, a Triumph Tiger 1050. Has an almost photographic memory for roads. Alan has passed the St John Ambulance Motorcyclist first aid course.
Best biking memory: “many good ones, but one of the best was looking in my mirrors and seeing an echelon of mates’ bikes cranked over during a trip to France four years ago.”
Riding style: best described as enthusiastic and brisk but at the same time precise and smooth.
Dave “The Builder”
Tour Guide. Again many years riding experience, (he started in his teens) including a stint in sidecar racing! Dave is a past owner of bikes such as a GSXR1100 and Aprilia Falco. Currently rides a Triumph Tiger 1050 and Ducati 916. Dave is a thoroughly nice bloke, quiet and reliable as a Rolex.
Riding style: Dave is a top rider, rarely gets flustered and is ultra smooth, safe and quick.
Steve
Tour Guide. Steve’s background is in motocross, where in his youth (long lost!) he was more than just useful. Got back into road bikes seven years ago since when he’s owned a VFR (who hasn’t?), CCM Supermoto and a number of BMWs. He currently rides a BMW R1150GS. Steve is a total gent both on and off a bike; if you’ve got a problem, see Steve.
Riding style: Rides his 1150GS indecently and improbably quickly. Like the rest of the team, extremely smooth and calm style.
Victoria – “V”
Tour Guide. “V” cut her teeth on the likes of Honda CB250s and her first love a Morini 500 Sport! This helps explain her addiction to anything V twin and Italian, she currently rides a Ducati Monster S2R1000. “V” has just got back from a 10 day trip around France taking in the Milau Bridge.
“V” is a great person to have around who keeps us all organised and in check!
Riding Style: Rides her Monster with great enthusiasm and gusto, smooth and up to speed with great road experience and common sense.
