I have cheated death, you should too. I share my knowledge about the benefits of protective equipment, riding techniques, health and fitness with other motorcyclists so they can avoid injury, and gain higher enjoyment from their hobby. You can find me selling motorcycles and accessories at Burnaby Kawasaki, racing motorcycles, sharing knowledge at Pacific Riding School and Westcoast Superbike School.
My passion to help others comes from personal experience. I will never forget being thrown from my motorcycle and landing in the on-coming path of a speeding dump truck. I struggled to move and it became obvious that I had broken my elbow and was unable to use my left arm. Desperately I started rolling away from danger, narrowly escaping the 25000 pound crushing power of steel on wheels. As I watched the tires brush past the face shield of my helmet my thoughts disappeared into a black abyss. The truck continued down the road, never slowing or changing direction. I rose to my feet with a powerful respect for the limited amount of time we have to live, and have strived to improve my life every day since.
Had I not been wearing protective equipment, healthy and fit, I am sure that the outcome would not have been the same.
I have spent the past 10 years improving my skills by attending multiple advanced riding schools, exercising & eating well, and giving back to the community by sharing what I know with those in need.
