Many years ago, at the tender age of 24, after spending the summer touring Europe on my trusty motorbike, I managed to land a job working for a National Motorcycle Training School. I was unaware at that time how this would channel my life for years to come. Although working for a big company came with some advantages, I decided to go alone, spending the next 10 years building up an extremely successful Motorcycle School in Bournemouth responsible for training hundreds upon thousands of fellow bikers. During this time, another of my passions evolved and back in 2002 I set up my current Off-Road Motorcycle School.

I sold Passchool in 2005, leaving me plenty of time to concentrate on my Off-Road School. Over the last few years I have kept my hand in working locally for another training school.

This takes us up to the current date and after popular demand, “I’m Back”. After nearly two decades of Motorcycle Training, I still enjoy it as much now as I did all those years ago. I’ve purchased some new road bikes and have started a unique Road School, using a philosophy of 'Training Made Simple', assessing everyone individually, tailoring courses to suit and taking the time to make a difference.

I've been riding motorcycles for over 25 years and in 2005/06 I took time out to ride solo around the world, covering over 48,000 miles in a year.  This was followed by a European tour the following year passing through 13 counties in 3 1/2 weeks.  I currently own a BMW R1150 GSA, Yamaha WR450F Supermoto (used for Hill Climbing), a Yamaha RD125 LC Mk2, and a 1991 FS1-E.  I have been teaching people how to ride motorcycles in the Poole/Bournemouth area for 16 years, and have known Paul for 15 years.

I have previously worked in administration and  ran my own business for many years so l like things to run smoothly and efficiently for Excess Energy and our clients.

My interest in outdoor pursuits and nature make this the perfect role for me. Off-roading has been one of my hobbies for a long time so as driver of the support vehicle, I am in my element.  I am there for any possible breakdowns and hiccups that we may encounter along the way (as we are often in the middle of nowhere). Punctures are a pain but can easily happen on a green-laning adventure. With the support vehicle close by, carrying spare wheels, parts and tools, we can change or fix things quickly so that you, our client, can get on with the rest of your premier off-road experience.
