THOUGHTS ON MOTORCYCLE SPORT IN SA; There are very few girls competitions although we do have a girls sidecar class at Morgan this year. I have to race against boys who can be up to 16yrs old which is a bit intimidating, especially for girls who are just beginning or are not very confident.

THOUGHTS ON THE KEYNETON MCC; The club has been really great. They have fully supported me throughout my racing, encouraging me in the Enduros and also offering me the opportunity to have a go at Moto Trials. We have met lots of great people that are willing to loan their bikes to get juniors started in the sport.
