Background

I first started my motorcycling career in 1999, this was doing Moto-x on a Kawasaki KX60 automatic, then the following year I moved onto a Kawasaki KX65 geared bike in the Juniors class of which I competed in for 3 years and in 2002 all my hard work and effort put in over the past couple of years were finally rewarded when I was crowned Y.M.S.A Junior Champion.

I then moved onto a Honda CR85 (Small Wheel) of which was a different bike & I adapted well to it & finished 2nd place at the end of the year & the year after.

In 2005 I then used the small bike but put bigger wheels on to compete in the Inter 100 championship of which I finished 4th in my final year of Moto-x.

Also within the same year I competed in my first full season doing road racing onboard a Aprilia RS125 Superteen bike of which I gained experience and the following year i finished 11th.

In 2007 I was determined to give it my all and really show for it but due to alot of mechanical problems I could only manage joint 5th but 1 point off 4th position which was encouraging.

2008 was a very different year because I decided to take a new venture and go upto the ‘big bikes’ & opted for 2 brand new 2008 model Yamaha 600’s of which we again competed at the MRO rounds & did very well seeming though I had to adapt to a new bike with almost 4 times more power than the Aprilia RS125. At the end of the year I finished 2nd in the juniors & 3rd in the main stocksport 600 championship of which I & the team were very pleased with and straight away could not wait for the following year !

2009 proved to be a very encouraging & yet steep learner curve were we decided to enter the National Superstock 600 Championship of which features the best riders in the UK all in one class. With results at the beginning of the year not so good, I & the team stuck together and continued to keep are heads high & I really began to gain momentum towards the mid season point by picking up 2 points at Knockhill of which a circuit i hadn’t visitied since 2005 & along with that I collected the ‘rider of the day’ award, I then continued this to the end of the season by picking up a point in what was a very difficult & tricky last round at Oulton Park, Chesire were I collected another one to cap off the season.
