Starting out (why and how did they get started?):
I started riding motorbikes when I was six years old when my dad bought me one for Xmas. When I was 16 I bought an AR50, and got sick of crashing it on the roads so decided I had better go racing before it ended in tears. I had a good job so I bought a bike and went racing.

The first ever year I entered the IOM TT I came 7th on a home made bike.
