How I started Riding

I started riding pillion on my Dad's Fazer Yamaha 600 when I was about 6 and in 2005 we rode down through the Swiss Alps to the South of France.

I got my first bike, a Yamaha TTR 125 in 2005 and started riding at NLSQBC in 2007. Living in the countryside I'm able to practice on the local fields regularly.In 2009 I decided to start road racing, my first season began in 2010 at Melville Motor Club, Kirkcaldy and District Motor Club and North East Motorcycle Racing Club. At the end of this season we had agreed to compete in the Aprilia Superteen Challenge in 2011.
