History:-   Started riding on a Puch 3 gear moped. Went into buy a spark plug for it and came out with a Kawasaki KH250 triple. Then came to many bikes to mention. Became and instructor for the RAC/ACU rider training scheme in 1979. Took up production racing in 1882 on a RD350LC. Then various big Kawasaki's, bad crash in 1987 ended an average racing career! Took police advanced riding course in 1985. Sent home from his last refresher training as he was riding miles above the required standard.

Most Embarrassing Biking Moment:-   First race on his new sparkly RD350LC at Brands Hatch. Got a good start and reached the first corner (Paddock Hill) and fell off in the middle of the pack. Slid past loads of riders on his arse and missed them all! Showing off by pulling a wheelie on the way to a track day. With the front wheel in the air he doesn’t spot the turning we need to take. He carries straight on; five following bikes all turn right. Hey where's evrybody gone?
