4th
Ambition or goal:
To get a few podiums, and grow a couple of inches in height, but at 42 I'm not overly confident
Advice for new competitors:
Buy a sidecar!!!!
Fail to prepare, prepare to fail. If you need help or advice ask, the paddock is a wealth of useful knowledge and people who are more than willing to share their expertise. Lastly and most importantly, enjoy yourself, its supposed to be fun!!
Motorcycle hero:
Dave Butler. I call him Dave, he calls me weirdo and has blocked me on Facebook and barred my phone number, but I still sleep with a lock of his hair I stole under my pillow.
Sidecar hero is 8 times Irish champ Dylan Lynch, if i said anyone else Dylan would put chewing gum in my hair.
MotoGP v WSBK:
BSB
WSBK
Moto GP, in that order.
Valentino or Casey:
Vale, his record at the top speaks for itself, good to see him at the sharp end again. Would be great to see Casey make a return.
Money no object motorcycle:
The new ZX10r.
