Goals for this season	2003 was about losing the Novice tag. With 2004 it was about earning a National License by achieving regular top 50% finishes. 2005 was being in the points in the Scottish Championship. 2006 again has to be about being in the points in every race and perhaps more importantly to feel you've raced. I would also hope to get some testing abroad this year, with Spain (Cartagena) and Dubai being possibilities It would also be nice to complete the whole season, stay injury free, and improve, improve, improve!
Hobbies	Family man me! Keep up the boxing when I can, to keep fit. Try and cycle everyday on my vicars bike
Sporting Hero's	Marvelous Marvin Hagler, Barry Sheene, and of course Valentino Rossi!
Favourite Racing Quote	'I love England. But I do resent giving the income tax inspector 83 per cent. I tell him he's welcome to it if he went out and got on my bike and got thrown up the road at 190 mph, be in hospital for weeks, then walk around half crippled for the rest of his life ... if they did that they're welcome to my money' Barry Sheene
