Met a guy at the crossroads...well.....roundabout really..... He was the local 'ace' as he liked to call himself. Had a nice new GSX1100 with Yoshi pipe and no-one was faster than him around the Harrow one-way system.....from the T's&C'c (as the tea/coffee stand was called) and back....about a mile with some tricky 1st gear left/rights. So along comes little me equipped with a battered Kawka 900R......and the roads are damp.......

My mates reckon'd I'd made a deal with the devil to win....... it was about the same time the movie 'Crossroads' was out.......so the name stuck.....

VanDaMauler sounds like my surname, but its what a friend said I should change my name to after hurting a few people when I fought in some recent competitions. Nice!!!!

BDG is an abbreviation of BIG DAFT GEORDIE. This was an insult created by one of my mates coz i'm not a Geordie, but southerners don't seem to know the difference.

The other alternative was Paddy O' Hilter because of my ancestory, but that didn't seem to go down that well.
