To Live is to Fly

Life is good: its a phrase I use all the time. Sometimes Ive even said it when Ive just crashed my motorbike, fallen with my horse, or had to make an emergency landing when flying an aircraft through think cloud.

I believe in seizing every opportunity that life offers you. Thats why, when I was on a motorcycle holiday in Germany and saw a fairground, I immediately signed up to become a Wall of Death rider. Its why, why I was first at the solo controls of an aerobatic aircraft, I thought Id try a loop-the-loop. Its also why I accepted every job offer that came my way, whether it was as a stunt rider, saddlery maker or snake hunter. Its how Ive lived my life: I hope you enjoy reading about it.
