Hobbies Dirt bike riding

I have been around engines as long as i can remember and enjoy anything on 2 or 4 wheels.

Growing up on quad bikes, ride on lawn mowers - i even raced go karts for 4 years and loved learning the

runnings and mechanics side of things. Now i have moved on to Dirt bikes and try and ride as often as i can.
