Biking History: After a couple of bikes whilst a teenager, I returned to biking 20 years later as a born-again biker in 2000.

Mark then introduced me to trackdays and in 2001, he asked me to become a No Limits Instructor. I raced for several years including the CB500 cup, 250’s and 600’s.

Biking history: Since joining No Limits in 2007 as a customer and doing a handful of trackdays I became a full on trackday junkie, taking advantage of the season ticket in 2008.

Occupation: Regional Security & Investigations Manager

Biking History: I came to motorbikes in late twenties, which to a lot of people is a late start. I was an instructor on the roads for a couple of years and I did my first track day on my road going 1998 ZX9R on a red hot August day and instantly became addicted to it. So I spent the next couple of years doing numerous trackdays a year, then for two year I had the, No Limits ticket to ride season pass, which of course allowed me to do as many track days as I wanted at any track. I ended up doing 45+ days each year over those couple of years and eventually probably due to the fact I was now part of the no limits fixtures I was asked to take become part of the team and undergo the No Limits instructor training, which was back in 2011.

First racing hero: I don’t really have one, I enjoy watching them all.

Biggest Riding influence: I like the challenge of bettering myself and also helping customers improve.

Favourite circuit: Aragon.
