My interest in
motorcycles - paul doherty
My first memories of
motorbikes are my parents taking me, my brother and sister out of school early
to go to the NW 200 practice sessions. Getting out of school was a big enough
thrill on its own but nothing was to beat the speed ,noise and smell of the
racing bikes around the North West roads. I have to say that from these early
days my biking interest was born, although my grandfather and father rode
various bikes over the years.

It was my
father that bought me my first bike when I was 10, a Suzuki GP50 from our
next door neighbour - Isle of Man TT winner and very successful road racer Con Law, this
also fuelled my biking interest to be living next door to a road racer. Then
came along a Suzuki RM100 Motor Cross Bike, followed by a Yamaha YZ125, then a
Kawasaki KX125, then a Honda CX500 Road Bike which I bought from my uncle. I
then moved onto cars at the age of 17. At the age of 25 i bought my next bike,
a Honda NS 400 cause I liked it but without having the bike test yet I couldn't
take it out on the road. I did my bike test in 2001 and bought a brand new
Suzuki GSX 600 which I rode for a year. I traded this in and moved up to a
Suzuki GSX 1300 Hayabusa which was a great all round bike. I took it to Isle Of
Man twice and toured France on it. An unexpected change was to come next with
me doing more miles and more rallies throughout the country. The Honda GoldWing
surfaced which I still own and love!! |

my interest
in motorcycles - CAROL DOHERTY
My very first experience
with motorbikes was when I
was a pillion passenger in 2004 along with the late Denis McCafferty. I
found it absolutely amazing and so free. Denis and I became a couple and
for months we went for long rides on his bike and every time I got on it, the buzz I got was unreal. He then introduced
me to the Rally Scene and oh boy was I blown away with that. It was a
totally different world and I couldn't get enough of it. Though Denis died
suddenly and for over a year I was away from bikes/rallies.
I
then met Paul and with his charm and the Goldwing I was introduced into the bike
scene again. Paul bought me a Honda CG 125 and I took a few lessons but it was a
very high seated bike and I felt very vulnerable on it. I then had a Kawasaki Eliminator 125
and rode about 3000 miles on her attending all the rallies. I went for my
test and Paul got me my 600 Honda Shadow. Check out the pics .. Paul got
her all personalised for me .... Coyote Airbrushing lol lol It looks really well
and it is great to have that extra power.
