Gaffer Mutant Mushroom (W.A.N.D.A.)

I am here for Friends

About Me

About time I updated this, my handle is Mutant Mushroom or Gaffer I'm married and have a daughter, currently I am a "House Husband", I have an allotment that has been fairly successfull in it's first year.
I ride a motorbike have done since the age of 15, I consider myself a biker amongst other things. I have long hair and a beard I like to wear a leather waistcoat and a brown leather hat.
I am pretty much a loner, but that is mainly because I don't like crowds of people and I am a bit shy. I don't like speaking so if I clam up when you meet me don't take offence I just hate the sound of my own voice and only speak when I think I have something interesting to say.
I suffer with depression but it's not so bad these days, saying that I can have day when I am very down and you wont get anything out of me.
If you hadn't noticed I like the band Queen, actually that is an understatement I love them. I like lots of other music as well but it is mainly rock orientated. I am also a big Dr Who fan (come see my Myspace Group sometime) and Sci-Fi in general my favourite writers are Issac Asimov, Terry Pratchett and Orson Scott-Card.

My Interests

Motorbikes

Here is a list of my bikes in chronological order

Honda Mini Melody - 50cc scooter, my first bike crappy but a laugh, my parents bought it for me to try and put me off bikes, unfortunately it didn't work.

Honda H100S - 100cc Two stroke commuter, I crashed this whilst trying to ride hands free and fly with my arms out stretched.

Honda Superdream - 250cc commuter which I ratted, I crashed this a week after getting it by running into the back of a learner in a Metro who did an emergency stop sommersalted right over the Metro and landed in the road in front.

Superdream Rat Picture here Superdream Rat outside my flat Summer 1994.

Kawasaki Z750 - Crappy semi customised 4 cylinder pile of poo(should have stuck with the Superdream), eventually scrapped.

Kawasaki Tengai - 650cc single trailee ratted and renamed the Mutant Mushroom,(long tale may tell it sometime.) hence my online nick name. I blew the cyclinder head up on this but repaired it and it was a wonderful bike after that. Tengai, nicknamed fungi by local bike dealer, an altered fungi (as in customised) is a Mutant Mushroom!

"What a piece of work is a man! How noble in reason! how infinate in faculty! in form, in moving, how express and admirable! in action how like an angel! in apprehension how like a god! the beauty of the world!the paragon of animals! And yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust? man delights not me; nor woman neither, though by your smiling, you seem to say so." Shakespeare Hamlet Act II, Sc. II.
