In 1957 Mike left his home in Plymouth to start an apprenticeship in the Aircraft Industry at Bristol. His transport was a series of scooters. Eventually he acquired a 250cc Dayton Albatross which was more suitable for long distance traveling and had a larger engine than most scooters of the time. He would have liked an even larger capacity scooter but none was yet available. Conventional motorcycles did not appeal. In the1990s when he retired from work he became the owner of 400cc Suzuki Burgman Scooter and his wish as a lifetime enthusiast was fulfilled.
