Road Captain

Simon Pate

Simon wasn’t actually born, but was in fact hatched…. Well according to local legend anyhow. This was quite an unusual entry into the world as most of his other close family were allegedly discovered under a gooseberry bush.

At an early age Simon showed immense skills and qualities for riding…. Simon would ride anything which moved and still has that passion to this day.

In addition to riding, Simon had a proficiency in biking. Starting off with a Raleigh 20 and a Raleigh Grifter…. Simons first job was delivery boy to the local co-op (Grocery not undertakers) – the basket on the front of his Raleigh 20 was ideal for his delivery runs… however, he found his little legs were getting far to muscular so he upgraded to a Honda Melody which he still rides extensively and is often seen trailing behind the other bikers on the ‘Gay Biker’ runs. He is also on the committee of Gay Bikers – where he is campaign manager for the “Lesbians in Sidecars” division of that group.

Simon met his long term partner when he was understudy to James in a touring amateur production of “Call Me Madam”.

Simon will hopefully soon update this profile... but presently he is busy starring in La Cage aux Folle.
