I still want to do truck driving at some point as a full time job and ditch IT (but then the grass is always greener on the other side)

I was a photocopier technician in charge of a small team. I had to pack up work in 1995 following two heart attacks. I went back to work for a while but the stress of 200+ miles a day on the roads of Cornwall and Devon and having to sort out everybody's problems was killing me. I was 41! :'(

I'm an IT consultant which is dull as chuff but quite well paid.

My customer is T-Mobile and I work on the mobile telephony side on systems that order SIM cards and systems that do activation (roaming, barring, voicemail, SMS, friends & family etc. etc.).

There are lots of things that excite me more after 20 years in IT but at the moment this pays the mortgage quite nicely.

I'm a full time instructor, get to spend 7 days a week on 2 wheels. When I'm not riding, I buy, tart-up and sell bikes, repair and maintain all the training fleet and make sure I get at least one trip in a year. Due to domestic and business commitments it's usually only a week away. Have ridden pretty much every European country as well as some of Asia and Middle East. Generally ride between 30 and 40,000 miles a year.

Trying to get time (and permission from the Long Haired Colonel) to do one last biggy - the Pan American Highway - from Alaska to Ushuaia in Chile.......

Always been an overlander rather than a racer
