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.
