I have ridden motorcycles for 35 years and have been involved with Motorcycle racing for almost as long. I have been a member of various motorcycle racing clubs in the UK. I held an ACU Clerk of the Course licence for 20 years and have been a member of Racesafe Marshals Association since its founding. I am currently series Chief Marshal for the MotoAmerica Superbike championship and Flag chief for the Austin MotoGP since 2016.
Articles I've created or edited
editI created the article on Racesafe Marshals Association and have been involved in editing and updating various articles on Mathematics, Good Manufacturing Practice and Motorcycle Racing. As I am rather pedantic about grammar and spelling I have also made minor edits to other odd articles where I have no expertise in the subject matter but there are obvious typographical errors.
