If ever I have a spare couple of days or even a spare couple of hours I mount the royal stead and go for a ride. Horsepower for me takes the form of two wheels rather than four legs and if you are going to have a motorbike you may as well have the best, a Yamaha TT600R.

You may have guessed that I am a bit of a rev head, in fact I love my motor sport and as such I have been ordained a Knight of the Blue Oval. This illustrious title indicates my allegiance to the Ford Motor Company in their ongoing struggle with the evil Red Lion (General Motors Holden). This tussle has reached its peak in the current V8 Super Car challenge. We are currently considered the underdog, however, with our secret weapon, the Green Eyed Monster, good will prevail and the Red Lion will be opposed as King of the Mountain.

Not just a spectator, I am also a competitor, having raced in the Postie Grand Prix at Harlwood and Riverview. This event certainly brings out the best in any would be racer.
