Personal History
My name is Ivan Long and I grew up in a small country town in regional SA called Coonalpyn. My Dad owned and ran a honda dealership with his farm machinery business and since the mear age of 2 I grew up riding and racing honda's like the rest of my family history and tradition. As a kid I reced junior national and state motocross championships accross the country, attended various training schools like BCP, lee hogan camps, AIS etc. As i grew older I was introduced to the sport of enduros, in the SA Off road Championships. I claimed success right away and am now the 4 x Consecutive Pro Class & Outright winner. I have also been competeing in the Australian Off Road championship where in 2010 I won the Expert class in the country. This was one of my greatest acheivements. I also race Finke and Hattah. I won my class at Hattah multiple times, and got 14th outright in my first ever attempt of Finke in 2011. This year I was faced with a rear tyre blow out and had to race home on the rim, pulling a 35th outright. I have grown up around bikes all my life and have met and am well known with many of the national and state motocross, enduro and desert racing field because of my versatility and interest to TRY IT ALL!
