Ever since I can remember, I have always wanted to race motorbikes. In fact ever since I can remember I have raced motorbikes in a variety of disciplines, starting at the age of six with a good deal of success ever since. I dream of the day when we reach the top and becoming world champion. I believe in this dream. I know that I can make a career for myself out of my passion – the only thing that’s to stop me reaching the top would be lack of funding.

As I’m sure you can imagine being a female in a totally male dominated sport is attracting much media attention. The attention gained by being just that little bit different could increase the profile of your company through advertising.

A Little About Me – A Brief History

· Road racing is the all I have ever wanted to do for as long as I can remember.
· I got my first motorbike a Yamaha PW 50 at the age of just 3 it was all I wanted for Christmas.
· I started racing on it as soon as possible in the discipline of motocross and that was in 1995.
· In 95 and 96 I finished 4 championships with in the top 5.
· For the 1997 season I switched to grass track, grass track was nearer to the sport of road racing here it was more a battle with other riders rather than fighting the elements of the motor cross track.
· With 2nd been the best finish in a championship within this sport.
· With the arrival of foot and mouth in 2001 we switched to mini moto racing.
· At this discipline we found success finishing 2nd in one championship and 3rd in two, and been awarded senior rider of the year in 2003 with the eastern counties club.
· Then I progressed onto road racing for the start of the 2004 season.
· I had to start on a production rs Aprilia 125 because of my age.
· 2nd was the best place taken on the Aprilia
· After only ten meetings I switched to the Honda rs 125 gp.
· We raced with the Honda for the second half of the 2004 season and never finished out of the top ten
· Same bike was rode in the 2005 season.
· With the aim of the season been to learn all the circuits around the country
· We raced with many different clubs at circuits such as Brands Hatch, Donnington Park and Cadwell.
· Taking many finishes in the top 5 and the best championship placing of the year been 5th, also in 2005 I tuck my first win road racing, and as far as we know I’m the only female to ever win at cadwell park
· The best weekend of the year was taking 3 wins at cadwell.
· My season was cut short thought by an accident in August at Snetterton where I highsided out of 2nd place and broke my ankle
· At the end of the season I received an award off the ACU for youth achievement within the east midlands
· Also I have had increasing interest from the media including an article published in ‘The Sun’ newspaper, national magazine ‘Bike; and appeared on ‘Calendar Regional News.’
