About Us

James

 

• Loves tinkering with bikes almost as much as riding them.  
• First rode a bike at the age of 7 (Yamaha PW80) and has been hooked ever since. Still at the start of his track day journey with 9 trackdays under his belt so far. A steady rider but with a built-in competitive streak that rears it's head every now and then. 
• Favourite tool: Abba Superbike Stand - Nothing you can't tackle with this kit.
• Dislikes: Bodges and electrics.
• Most frustrating job tackled. Manual cam chain tensioner on a mates CBR600RR. Do NOT believe what the Haynes manuals tells you about removing the CCT when doing valve clearances on this bike!
