Introduction

I have always been brought up around bikes as my dad, Joe used to race them. I raced Moto-X from 1994 to 1997 and was quite successful at that and it gave me a good start. I achieved 1st position in 1996 Norman Watt Championship, 2nd in 1996 Ulster Grass Championship and 3rd in 1997 Norman Watt Ulster Championship. Total race wins were 30.

After a few years of raking about my dad mentioned trying out short circuit racing and I thought “Why Not? I'll have a go!”. My dad purchased a 1994 Honda 125 in June 2000 and I arrived at Nutts Corner in July 2000 for my first race.
