Wheels of Error
(Alex's Web Page)

Welcome to my vanity page!  Remember vanity pages? It’s what we self publicists used before MyBook and FaceSpace became available and made it all too easy and HTML free. Well, I’m a dinosaur and I’m proud of the rudimentary web design skills I’ve acquired. Plus it’s guaranteed to be free of banner ads :)

Anyway, in a typical personal web page, the author yakks about him(her)self, usually boring the pants off everyone except their friends and their mum.  You know the sort of thing; pictures of pets, favourite links, recipes of the week, here-am-I-in-front-of-the-Colosseum blah blah

Well, this one isn’t quite typical, as I have tried to make it interesting to people besides those who already know me.  To that end there are no pets, no recipes and no links except those that are directly relevant.  Instead, it contains a collection of stories and articles that I have written at odd times over the last few years about various forms of mischief that I have got up to.  Some have already seen the light of day, in earlier versions, on various internet forums.  A few people have been quite complimentary about them, and have even pinched the odd article for their own web sites (you know who you are).  Not that I mind, sincerest form of flattery and all that.

So this is what I use my web space for. It is where I put the lurid and exaggerated accounts of my various escapades.  They are mostly, but not all, about motorcycling.

In chronological order they are;
