Motorcycling
I am passionate about motorcycles with over 15 years experience in handling and maintaining motorcycles from the small displacement bikes to big litre bikes.
Motorcycles come in handy in my day to day activities from running errands to random rides.
I enjoy long-distance motorcycle touring, that requires proper planning and preparation,then independent decision-making in changing and dynamic situations.
Motorcycling has honed my organizational skills, resourcefulness, and ability to thrive under pressure.
