My name is Paul, I am a 52yr old husband, father of two boys, motorcycle nut and computer geek!

Although I have always had an interest in motorcycles, I didn’t get a license / bike until 2009 when a couple of close bereavements spurred me to scratch the motorcycle itch. After road riding, I quickly progressed to touring Europe (especially the Alps area) and then riding on track days all over the country. Hitting 50, and seeing how my children embrace life every day I decided to start racing.

I joined the British Motorcycle Racing Club (BEMSEE), which is the oldest and largest motorcycle club in the UK, and in 2022 raced in the Rookie 1000 and Thunderbike Ultra classes.

I will once again be racing with BEMSEE and participating in the Thunderbike Ultra class with the aim to get into the top 10. For some rounds I will also be competing in the MRO Retro 1000 class which races alongside the “Powerbikes” class, racing against the newest and best machinery.
