Personal History
I have always enjoyed riding Motocross as a kid. When I was old enough to buy a sports bike and ride on the road I brought a Ducati. I did one track day at Oran Park Raceway (which has now been torn down and turned into a housing suburb) even though it was fun I didn't like the high speed. While at Oran park, I saw a guy on a Supermoto keeping up and passing Sports Bike. I went home and started researching Supermoto. They ride on dirt and bitumen, I thought YES that's what I want to do. In 2011 I started racing and I turned a 2008 KTM450 EXC-R into a Supermoto race bike and learnt the basics of racing. I now ride a 2009 Honda CRF450R which as been professionally built by someone I believe to be one of Australia's best Race Bike Builders and builds bike for Australia's best Road Races so I feel privilege to know Nigel. I race State and National Supermoto Championships and started Oil Track racing to get more time on the bike.
I've been fortunate enough to race in the 2013- 2014 Troy Bayliss Classic which is one of Australia's Premier Race Meetings and meet some awesome people and made good friendships long the way.

Riding Goals
My goals when it comes to riding is to be relaxed, smooth and consistent. With my current bike, Honda CRF450R it has been set up for me so well that it out performs my skill level so that makes it really easy to find your current limit and push past it. I love riding bikes, so any time I get to road trip interstate to a race meeting and hang out with friends is a great time.
Competitive Highlights
2012 NSW Supermoto Riders Club (Supermoto Bitumen and Dirt)
First race meeting in NSW for about 3 years due to limited tracks available.
I finished the weekend with a 3rd place overall. That was also my first race on the Honda after switching from KTM.
2013 Troy Bayliss Classic (Oil/ Dirt Track)
Competing and being part of the 2013 Troy Bayliss Classic put on by Taree Motorcycle club held at Old Bar NSW oil track. In my main race I got a great start and was in 3rd position for one lap and in front of 3 time World Speedway World Champion Jason Crump. Of cause he got around me but it was great to be racing with Jason.

Rode fast, relaxed and smooth and enjoyed the weekend finishing with improved results compared to 2012
