Welcome to my Web site!

Following on from racing in AMCA motocross I started motorcycle road racing in 1997. In 2003 I decided to contest the British Motorcycle Racing Organisation'  National championship on my 1998 Honda RS250. This was a big step up from the club racing I had been doing and the challenge was fantastic taking in new circuits around the UK. I started the MRO campaign by finishing 16th at Snetterton and then 15th at Oulton Park. The next two rounds were at Cadwell park (a track I was familiar with) where I finished 12th and 11th. The next two rounds were at Brands Hatch where I had never raced before which showed in my results with 23rd and 19th placed finishes. My lap times at all circuits improved greatly due to this high level of competition. At this point I was financially unable to continue with the MRO championship due to the cost of entry fees, crash repairs, tyres and fuel for my van to get to the meetings. I raised a little bit of money through sponsorship from local companies and returned to the cheaper club racing scene held at local circuits for the second half of the season. I managed to win six club races and finish second on ten occasions. Some top ten finishes in the races for bikes up to 1300cc also got me plenty of attention and a bit of prize money. Even though I missed a few rounds I finished in second place in the Darley Moor Club Championship. I also set the fastest lap on a numerous occasions and was the only 250 rider to lap Darley Moor at an average speed of over 90MPH. During the winter I have saved enough money to replace some worn out parts on my bike so I will be racing again in 2004 sadly not at MRO level unless a major sponsor comes forward but at club and possibly superclub level.
