Got out of machines 15 years ago and have done a thousand different things too many to mention here.

I left school when I was 14 and did motor mechanics for three years, now although that was some time ago! looking back, that time spent in the trade set me up for a life time of tinkering with my own bikes and cars and also having confidence to help mates and strangers broken down on the side of the road.....
