1st bike aged 12. Bike test at 17 (when you could) and straight onto a GS550 Suzuki, then saw the light and bought a Triton when 19
Did a few days with the old Brands Hatch School of Racing on their CB400's
Rode on the road until about 24
Trials bike for a few years (old Tiger Cub). Gave up bikes until 33 then bought a motocrosser and an R1
Messed around for a couple of years on the crosser untill I tore all the ligaments in my right knee which kept me off the R1 for 6 months
R1 turned into a 999 early 03 and since then have done 7 trackdays
No race experience
Happy in an intermediate group, never run in a fast group. CSS level 1 only.
My mindset has always been consideration rather than obliteration - up until last week when I felt some horns growing and stomach muscles tightening - the hunger is setting in.
Race 1 beckons. |
