Very much the “Rookie” of the trip, Hag (54) works as the Phlebotomy Manager at York Hospital and has only been riding motorcycles for 2 years.

  His last year has been spent training with the York Advanced Motorcyclists group which is part of The Institute of Advanced Motorists . Hag passed his advanced test in September and now hopes to train as an observer within the group.

  Starting off with a Suzuki 500 Hag soon changed to a Yamaha Fazer 600. Since passing the advanced test he now rides a Honda CBF 1000.

  The picture above was taken at Dunnet Head on a circular motorcycle tour of Scotland . As can be seen from the eyes, this was at the end of a very long day just before arriving at John O’ Groats.
