Started: Street 1996; Track 2002

Age: 25

Bikes owned:
Currently - 1989 Honda Hawk nt650, 1993 Honda nc30 (VFR400) racebike
Former - 1992 Honda NSR150, 1993 FZR150, 1998 Yamaha YZF600R, 1999 Yamaha YZF-R6
Certifications/Classes Etc: M endorsement (2001), MSF graduate (2001), WSMC racing license (in progress)

General Experience: Started riding in Taiwan streets on a 150cc NSR. Finally hopped on a 600cc when I got my M1 endorsement in 2001 and started on a YZF600R to learn the ropes. Started riding canyons and instantly became addicted. Finally sold the YZF for a 99' R6 which became my trackbike. 12k track miles, 5k canyon miles, and (3) crashes later... I'm still learning to become a better rider.

Advice: Be patient and eager to learn. There's plenty of time to learn to be fast, take it easy, and have fun along the way!
