When I defected to STW, I decided I needed something a bit different, but linked to the Bandito Boardriders as I was stalking PMJ at the time.

I thought carbon was amazing when it first came to the world of bikes & built a road bike with every possible part made from it then needed a name for Twiitter when it first landed. That boring & sad really.
As a youngster in a caving club, I had an appalling booze tolerance. This was tested on every club trip it seemed. The club secretary made all our lighting equipment and engraved something on everyone's battery pack to distinguish them apart. 'Yak' appeared on mine 😳 🙂

So I was needed to be reborn, and remembered that someone had once described my bike buying tendencies as having "More Cash Than Dash" in a similar vein to "All the Gear, No idea"
