Hello, and welcome to Richard Bagnall's web site!
 

This page used to have a photo of me with my motorbike claiming it to be my pride and joy.  Well it still is.  But, seeing as I am now the proud God Father to two little girls, Jessica and Isabella, I thought it more appropriate to feature them.  Click on the photo below to see a bit more about my fab God Children...

But don't worry, I still love the Black Prince, my motorbike. :-)  Oops, did I just say my motorbike?  Because of course what I meant to say was 'one of' my motorbikes.  For I have bought a new beast known as the stealth fighter.

You can download a short movie clip of me and the new bike in action here - as seen from my mate's Porsche. :-) (The movie is 4 MB in size so may take a while to download depending on your connection speed. You will need Apple's Quicktime player to watch it - this is available as a free download.)

Following hot on the heals of the Rugby world cup victory, I have just been for a long weekend in Ireland supporting Gloucester against Munster in the Heineken Cup.  I went for the weekend with Ed and flew there and back on the same plane as the team - including many of the England players.  A few photos form the weekend are here.
