2000
1st race was in April 2000, on a 1989 Yamaha TZR250, approx 10
meetings, 6th in championship, had several podium finishes. 2nd & 3rd places - no wins, but I was hooked!
2001
1993
Yamaha TZ250 GP bike. I needed machinery with more potential than
road going TZR250 (already felt the bike and me, as a team, had
reached our limits) - I decided to go GP250, (everyone was saying it
was too soon!). Huh! I was 5th in championship and had several podiums
2nd & 3rd places - again no wins, but that was with only around
half championship completed due to mechanical problems!

2002
1999 Yamaha R1 for the 1st half season, 2002 Yamaha R1 for the 2nd half
of the season. I needed reliability - part exchanged the TZ for R1.

situations on & off track decided to stop racing.
