FUTURE AMBITIONS IN CAREER;
To get a State Championship in Moto Trials
(Observed Trials) and more importantly to
have fun and enjoy my riding
THOUGHTS ON MOTORCYCLE SPORT IN SA;
Safety and rules are important in motorcycle
competition but the way some organisations
are going about it is SCARY. It's getting to
regimental, all the fun and enjoyment of
competing is being eroded away
THOUGHTS ON THE KEYNETON MCC;
The club works really well as a whole and
runs a lot of top events. More people need
to get involved to help spread the work
load, so that it's not left to small groups
of people to manage.
