Motorbike riding, fixing up cars, spending time with loved ones

In my spare time I enjoy recreational motorbike riding, getting out in the open air, seeing scenic areas and just going out bush. 


I recently bought are car that required quite a bit of labour & love to get it to roadworthy standard, which along with friends was made achievable.


I come from a large family, I am the middle boy out of 5 boys. I enjoy my time with my brothers and also enjoy spending time with my long term partner.
