Hello everyone,

Thanks for the opportunity.


I got into motorcycles through my dad. 

Dad had a few bikes when we were kids. Nothing big but I loved them and couldn’t wait to get my own.


My first bike was a 1986 Honda 70 step through. Then an RXS 100.

Some years later a Yamaha FZR 600 Fazer which I did my first track day on.


I have a few bikes. 2 race bikes.

A Yamaha FZR 400

A Kawasaki ZXR 600 RR


I also have a trials bike and a road bike.


Favourite memories: possibly my first road race win or maybe winning the hill climb in Dunderrow. There’s loads. It’s really difficult to choose.


Favourite rider of all time. That’s a difficult one too. Probably Nicky Hayden.


I like to attend race meetings. Either to compete or to watch. Road race events here and BSB in UK is mega.


I went to the TT in 2012. I was blown away.

I went there in 2017 to compete in the Manx GP but really messed it up crashing twice.


I’m going back there this year 2023 to take part on my 400 and 600.


The West Cork Motorcyle Club have made massive steps forward I believe in club activity in recent years.


They have become very proactive in promoting events and riders. Helping new comers to motorcycling. I’d like to see possibly more community events like barbecue's maybe or possibly hosting different disciplines events if possible like a trials event or a grasstrack etc.


Over all the club and committee are fantastic.


Thanks again.
