PROFILE – Blonde, blue eyed stallion with child bearing hips! I seem to get bleary eyed at the first sip of alcohol (cheap date anyone?) and I'm always in trouble! I'm an easy going, fun guy who's mis-understood at times. No matter what you might hear I'm not a danger to be around (Bruce!).
 

HOBBIES – If I'm not working I'm on my bike – I love taking my mates for rides in the peaks!

 

EXPERIENCE – Started working with bikes in 2006. Since the day I did my CBT I knew i was hooked on bikes for life and just had to work with them too!

 

LIKES – Speed…danger…fairground rides! French motorways, good food, fine wines and Belgian chocolates. I like to party as long as I'm not at work the next day – and that's not often enough! Always excited by the start of the Moto GP – come on Toseland!

 

DISLIKES – People who say I'm German because I was born there…the fact I'm always skint before payday!

 

HUMOUR – After passing my test I was invited with Bob to a Yamaha evaluation day. I had the chance to ride all the latest Yamaha’s on the road and track with the R-series available!

 

Bob turned up in classic Kawasaki green leathers and decided to opt for an R1 while I spent the entire time flying around on a new R6!

 

I stalled at the start, totally out of my depth with everyone passing me. I even got a rollicking by the marshals as my visor was open the whole time! Bob meanwhile (with me in his sights) forgot about a kink in the track and went cross-country!!…mental fun!

 

(What Jim did not say is that it was him parked up on the kink that I had to avoid!!!!!!! Bob.)
