I started racing back in 1984/5 on
a Vic Camp Suzuki 250 single. Took 3rd in Bemsee singles championship
on a YZ250 a year later then raced an incredibly quick Yoshi GS1085
Suzuki.
|
Competed in National singles championship
on a FT500 Honda and then rode a TZ350 for a season - culminating
in a spectacular 100 mph get off at Snetterton when the carbs jammed
open!

1991 saw me compete in the Manx GP
on a basically standard GPX600R Kawasaki and finish 14th in Newcomers.
Then kids and new houses forced me to retire......
|
..but I returned in 2002 on a trusty
ZXR400 in the SS400 series, but got pissed off with those little
125's going round me on the bends. So I got one!! I will be on a
fluorescent yellow RS125 this year - can't wait.
