About Me

I have come into 2012 with a strong desire to be more healthy and reduce my weight to something more acceptable for a man of my age and height. On the 1st of Jan 2012 at the age of 45 and height of 6ft 2in, I weighed in at 18st 2lbs (that's 256 lbs or 116kg). I have a pretty large frame and have always been able to carry a bit of excess baggage but I think its time to do something about it for my health and energy levels more than anything else. The experts suggest that for a man of my height and age I should be about 13.5 st but I have set myself a target of 15 st (210lbs or 95kg) - thats a planned loss of around 3 st (46lbs or 20kg) This BLOG is a record of my attempt to achieve this goal and I have made it public to help keep me motivated and on track. If you have any comments, thoughts or ideas and suggestions please feel free to leave me a message..

Scorpapost 1


So I decided to have a fun little bike to keep my hand in..... In actual fact I borrowed my dads majesty for a local trial and after a couple of laps it overheated and Ken Garfield, who was observing offered me his 125 Scorpa to ride the last lap rather than retire and I enjoyed it so much I thought it would be an ideal reliable bike to keep in the shed for the odd outing......

After a bit of shopping around I found this one in Haven Trialsport at the right price - it was a bit tatty but only cosmetic and the engine was as sweet as a nut so the deal was done. It is an 06 175 model so should have a little more power than the 125. (incidentally my Dad has also bought a 125 for himself)
