The Starfield
name was originally conceived by Daphne Fielding and registered as the kennel
name for her Samoyeds when she started breeding them in 1985. We had kept
Samoyeds from the early 1960s but only as pets until circa 1978 when Daphne
decided to start showing our then current pet. I borrowed the Starfield
name for my business name when I was self-employed and used it amongst other
things, to market a computer program which I wrote to keep breeding records
and print the pedigrees an otherwise tedious job.The
web site has been created to share with everyone our separate interests in
the Samoyed breed (her hobby) and in motorcycles (his hobby). Click on the
tabs to the left for the rest of the Starfield
story. My interest in bikes dates from my
early teens and I cannot remember a time when I did not have one or two
around the place even when we lived abroad; Actually, especially when I was
abroad as the weather was so much better for biking. The 'His' part of the
site covers some of the bikes I have owned over the last 10 years or so. Many
of them were restored by me, most of them were abused by me especially the
older Brit bikes which were regularly used in VMCC events, particularly those
which had a green lane content. I hasten to add that most of the bikes
pictured have moved on though at one time we were harbouring 14 bikes. I am
trying to sample all the bikes that I would have liked to own in my youth so
I tend to buy, restore/fettle, enjoy then sell to fund the next project.
Every now and then I find one I cannot bear to part with. Sometimes I find
one I cannot get rid of quickly enough. The greatest pleasure comes from
turning a rusting pile of bits into a usable, tidy machine. In December 2006 I decided to
extend the site to include some details and pictures of my other great love,
Scuba Diving. Ten years on and I have decided to give up diving for various
reasons though I am still a social member of my local dive club. In December
2016 I suddenly got an urge to take up model railways as a new hobby and I
started a blogg on this activity in January 2017. .
