After 17 years of competing on and maintaining his own machines, from small two strokes to trials bikes to full blown superbikes. Ian was keen to put his knowledge gained from riding, repairing and racing motorcycles since the age of 9 to good use.
A true motorcycle enthusiast, Ian can be found in virtually all areas of motorcycling. From commuting in all weathers, restoring/riding his pride & joy Yamaha RD350LC, running the local Cheshire Oset Cup trials series, competing in local club trials to taking on the biggest names in motorcycling at the Isle of Man TT.
Race/track bike builds, repairs, preparation, suspension set up and dyno work. Ian will prepare your machine to the same standard as he would his own race bikes, 17 seasons of racing gives a huge amount of personal experience! From 2017 Ian has been employed as a Race Engineer with the factory Norton team for their TT campaign with riders Josh Brookes, Davo Johnson & Joh McGuiness. High pressure pitlane wheel changes are a speciality!
