Hi all
Marshyboyze here. I don't know if anyone is on he f650 forum but you may know me from there.
Bikes are all BMW f650gs - a 2004, 2006 and 2009. The latter is the 800cc misnomer twin and the other two are the 650cc singles. I never intended to have three bikes but having had an articulated truck reverse over the first one, I went straight out and bought the second. The first was bought back from the insurers and repaired. The third one was a bargain - bit of a high miler as the previous owner had travelled South America on it the previous year, but I just saw that as an extended shake-down and she's great!
Interests include biking (obviously!), wildlife and photography. So at weekends I'm often out on the bike with camera and binoculars heading for a nature reserve somewhere!
Work? I run a charity that rescuse marine mammals around the UK - whales, dolphins, porpoises and seals mainly. I'm also a trustee of another charity that trains people to go to sea and carry out whale and dolphin population surveys and act as wildlife guides on ferries and cruise ships. This, as well as running whale-watching trips and giving willdife talks to anyone who'll listen keeps me busy and happy!
That's me! Probably more that you wanted to know but I thought I'd save time for when we meet up some time!
Happy to join the group!
Cheers for now!
