PC Wayne Morley

Wayne has been riding motorcycles since 1977,when at the age of 16 he purchased his first bike, a Yamaha FS1E…(Fizzy). That’s when the bug bit!

At 17 he passed his test on a Yamaha RD250D and moved up a few cubes to a Suzuki GS850G that he still owns today, the bike’s over 26 years old, he proudly states.

Bikes owned over the past four or five years. Suzuki Bandit, FR800, Blackbird, VFR800Vtec.

Presently owns ST1300 Pan European, Honda Deauville and his GS.

Enjoys a tour abroad, has travelled to South of France on several occasions, also to Spain, the Alps and once travelled to Geneva and back to run in his CB500, in three days!

His worst biking moment; travelling to work on his private bike at 5.30am, hits a deer at 50mph….result. One written off bike, off work with broken ribs for 6 weeks, and one deceased deer.

Please he asks. No “oh dear jokes”. He states heard them all before.

Best biking moment; There has been so many, but one of the best is the anticipation, and planning of the next trip abroad.

Qualifications include police motorcyclist, IAM and ROSPA

When not involved in motorcycling he is a keen Falconer and can be seen roaming the countryside of Kent searching for his lost bird…(shouting out “come on Kez…”)

PC Adrian Alsop

a Adrian started riding at age six on an old BSA field bike. Progressed to an AP50 at age sixteen at the same time owning a TY250 trials bike and two speedway bikes.

Adrian rode Speedway successfully nationally and internationally until he was 23. Hanging up his racing leathers when three friends were killed in the space of eighteen months, in track incidents.

Currently rides about 40-45,000 miles a year owning a stable of five bikes. Main bike 1150 GS, if he‘s not abroad at least three times a year there is something not quite right.

Ridden in South America, Australasia, Africa, Most of Europe, including the Eastern Block, go now before it gets to westernised especially the Baltic States and Russia. Artic Circle and beyond (Nordkapp)

Worst tour getting lost in the Sahara, being chased out of Libya by armed Soldiers. Having to talk your way out of a sticky situation in Bolivia!

Best biking moments: Going away on your own pitching your tent and within ten minutes fellow bikers from other countries chat to you. Standing on a rostrum in a foreign country listening to your national anthem playing. Knowing 30,000 foreigners are watching you. Still being able to ride 1000 miles in a day.

Involved in Motorcycle training with IAM and RoSPA

PC Rob Sterry

Despite growing up with a garage full of old classics such as Ariel Huntmasters, BSA Rockets and the odd Lambretta, parental pressure denied the pleasures of the FS1E to Rob. Having taken an apprenticeship as a commercial motor mechanic four wheels came first and the two-wheel problem never reared its ugly head again. Or so they thought. Several years later a change of career brought him to a Central London posting with all the anti social hours that entails.

Left with no other choice of transport two wheels beckoned. At the age of 33 he rode his first motorcycle. Seven years later he was riding police bikes for the Diplomatic Protection Group.Having come this far the next stop was biking for pleasure and soon he was amazed to find that just across a 26 mile sea was a biker playground. Drawn in by friendly natives smiling at English bikers the last few years have been spent collecting visor flies from most of the EU.Once rode home from the depths of France after the clutch master cylinder dumped its fluid. Four hundred miles later and he had the hang of clutchless gear changes.

He holds both police advanced car and motorcycle qualifications

By choice he rides a BMW R1150RT!

PC Ian Hadcocks

Ian started riding in 1975 with a very secondhand example of the infamous 'Fizzie'. Since then, despite the usual inconveniences of Marriage, Mortgage and Offspring, he has always managed to keep at least one motorcycle hidden away in the corner of the garage. An enthusiasm for British motorcycles ensured that his early mileage was low, but his ability to maintain and botch developed rapidly. He was an instructor and examiner for the RAC/ACU training scheme until its closure in the early '80s. Ian has been in Traffic Division since 1990 and enjoys all types of motorcycling, particularly touring and trackdays.
