Who is this man?

 So where should I start, Born Winston Lionel Whitfield Axel Jones (laugh and I’ll kill you) on the 4^th June 1966 in Withington Hospital Manchester, England. Youngest of 4 Children and the only boy, hence the issues. Spent my childhood pushing the limits of every crazy sport that came along, skateboarding, Ice Hockey, BMX Freestyle, at which I turned professional and ended up touring most of Europe, the US and Abu Dhabi. Through freestyle got an introduction into the stunt world, spent a few years doing summer tours of the U.K. before at the age of twenty, packing up and moving to Tenerife, the Canary Islands, Spain

 
Spain about 8 years ago

It was there where I bought my first motorbike, a Yamaha RD250, after a time on that bought a 1979 GL1000 KZ, which I spent all of my hard earned money doing up and customizing. Whilst working as a on call police diver for the Guardia Civil and a maintenance and security manager for a hotel, I had a brain fart and bought myself a ZZR 1100! After scaring myself silly and surviving my time on that I went back to the trusty GL1000. In the twelve years I lived in Spain I managed to juggle several jobs, Safety officer for a tourist submarine, diving instructor, a sport that I’m still heavily involved in and a military career that I’d have to kill you if I told you about! Lol.

GL1000 KZ

In '96 came to Australia on holiday for 6 weeks, had such a great time, made the decision to move out here and 8 months later, out I came. I’m now a self employed computer technician and auction agent specializing in looking after small business and sourcing used high-end IT and Office equipment for both business and individuals. Since my GL1000 was getting a bit long in the tooth and to be honest, decided to spoil myself (No wife, no kids, you can do that,) Four months ago I bought myself a red (what else) 1500SE which I covertly named “Sniper” which is bringing an immense amount of fun and satisfaction.

Once I’d made the jump to the big guns, John Spick insisted I come to a club meeting and the rest is history. Through the club I have met some interesting people and enjoyed their company immensely. I’m a great fan of Sushi, Thai, and Indian food, still love to push the limits sports wise, you can find me down at Kangaroo Point with the other crazies rock climbing whenever I get the chance, Still dive and fly the odd paraglider when the wind is blowing in the right direction. There’s a few sayings that I tend to live by, “Improvise, adapt and overcome,” meaning anything that stands in your way, there is usually a way around it, never give up, give in or lay down. The other, “If you’re not living on the edge, your taking up too much room.” Well that’s pretty much self explanatory.

Well what of my political views. Well I think anyone who wants to become a politician should never allowed to become one, (Quoted from Billy Connolly, never a truer word said than those in jest.)

 I think what we call democracy if far from being that, and you don’t want to get me started on smoking!

Well too much information can get you in trouble so I’ll stop there and finish by saying, "Do not ask what your country can do for you but how and where can I put another piece of chrome!"

Look Ma, on top of the world

Out on the road.
