.. Here is a list of my bikes in chronological order
Honda Mini Melody - 50cc scooter, my first bike crappy but a laugh, my parents bought it for me to try and put me off bikes, unfortunately it didn't work.
Honda H100S - 100cc Two stroke commuter, I crashed this whilst trying to ride hands free and fly with my arms out stretched.
Honda Superdream - 250cc commuter which I ratted, I crashed this a week after getting it by running into the back of a learner in a Metro who did an emergency stop sommersalted right over the Metro and landed in the road in front.

Kawasaki Z750 - Crappy semi customised 4 cylinder pile of poo(should have stuck with the Superdream), eventually scrapped.
Kawasaki Tengai - 650cc single trailee ratted and renamed the Mutant Mushroom,(long tale may tell it sometime.) hence my online nick name. I blew the cyclinder head up on this but repaired it and it was a wonderful bike after that. Tengai, nicknamed fungi by local bike dealer, an altered fungi (as in customised) is a Mutant Mushroom!

WITHNAIL and I
"What a piece of work is a man! How noble in reason! how infinate in faculty! in form, in moving, how express and admirable! in action how like an angel! in apprehension how like a god! the beauty of the world!the paragon of animals! And yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust? man delights not me; nor woman neither, though by your smiling, you seem to say so." Shakespeare Hamlet Act II, Sc. II.

About me:
About time I updated this, my handle is Mutant Mushroom or Gaffer I'm married and have a daughter, I am a bank nurse at North Staffs Hospitals. I ride a motorbike have done since the age of 15, I consider myself a biker amongst other things. I have long hair and a beard I like to wear a leather waistcoat and a brown leather hat. I am pretty much a loner, but that is mainly because I don't like crowds of people and I am a bit shy. I don't like speaking so if I clam up when you meet me don't take offence I just hate the sound of my own voice and only speak when I think I have something interesting to say. I suffer with depression but it's not so bad these days, saying that I can have day when I am very down and you wont get anything out of me. If you hadn't noticed I like the band Queen, actually that is an understatement I love them. I like lots of other music as well but it is mainly rock orientated. I am also a big Dr Who fan (come see my Myspace Group sometime) and Sci-Fi in general my favourite writers are Issac Asimov, Terry Pratchett and Orson Scott-Card. There's some other stuff about me on my old H2G2 page Mutant Mushroom H2G2
