In 1975 when I was 18 years old, I started hill climbing on a modified Norton Atlas. I then went on to road racing a Seeley Commando in the late seventies. After only a few meetings, it became obvious that the long serving British twin was well past its sell-by-date, and as I had no interest in Japanese two stroke racing bikes, that chapter of my motorcycle racing came to an end.

Fast-forward 6 years to Mallory Park ...



Since my earlier racing exploits, Classic racing had taken off in a big way, so there was somewhere to race the bikes I liked, and it just so happened I had a Norton Commando engine and a Featherbed frame in the back bedroom of my house. This formed the basis of the bike I rode in many guises for the next 10 years. During these years I set up Middlestown Engineering along with my father, so it was not always possible to race full-time. However, I did manage to win many races, and even a few championships. This racing and engineering environment proved to be excellent for testing and developing all the parts I sell today.

1996 saw the next major changes, going to a Seeley MK 2 frame, and due to my engine development work, I could now punch the motors out to 920cc without fear of breaking them. Over the next 3 years I built another Seeley Commando racer to house my super short stroke 750cc engine, and tried to race at as many high profile meetings as I could, work permitting. During these years I managed to win quite a number of races, which attracted the attention of the magazines, and ultimately got me noticed by a few very generous American sponsors.




1999. During the next three years I raced almost exclusively in the USA and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it, sometimes managing 4 race meetings a year. These days my work tends to keep me from racing, although I did manage to get back to the USA in 2004 for Daytona and Willow Springs. Over the years I have managed to win well over 100 races and 4 championships I think the most memorable milestones were winning Daytona the first time, and getting over 100 BHP out of my 920 motor.
