Bill has been riding motorcycles since age 11.

He has ridden over most of Europe, and driven a car over the bits he hasn't ridden over. He has run a motorcycle rental business in France (near the Pyrenees), lead guided tours, put together self-guided tours and knows the Pyrenees about as well as anyone can.

The picture you see is Bill on his beloved Royal Enfield - which every one admired, but strangely no one wanted to rent. It went to a very good home, fortunately.

The 'Motorbike Friendly' suite of websites is put together by Bill in an attempt to separate the key components of the needs of Touring Motorcyclists into useful chunks.
