My need for speed began at a very early age and I realised this as soon as I got my first bicycle at the age of 8.

Eventually I became familiar with the tools and basic technical concepts of two wheelers.Super sport and sport tourers are more of my liking and the sparks to these flames were ignited the first time I experienced the maddening power of a Yamaha YZF R1.
