Andy’s first motorcycle riding experience was on a CR80 dirt bike,
at the age of 8 years old. He took his first twist of the throttle,
dropped the clutch and promptly crashed into a barbed-wire fence.
After that, he was hooked on bikes forever, and with his brothers’
tutelage, become a passionate rider who now attempts to stay away
from fences. During his early teen years, Andy lived in Australia
and spent five years riding dirt bikes and horses in the Australian
bush as a working ranch hand. READ MORE

of the consequences of such endeavours – bumps, bruises, broken bike
bits, repairs and then doing it all again! Did he ever really learn? Steve is an avid Kawasaki fan. His first bike was an ex-racer’s KX125, which he promptly thrashed teaching his younger brother to ride. Once he sold the KX, he took a little time away from two-wheeled life. READ MORE

When he was twenty, he got the urge to ride. He acquired
his Learners’ Permit, but soon learned that bikes were an expensive
hobby. It was not until years later, when he started working with
Steve, that the biker instinct came back to him. After Steve bought
his 7R and started riding it to work, Derek decided that if he did
not buy a bike before be was thirty, he never would. The next spring,
he got his permit again and took a rider training course. The course
included a road test for a half-license, which he failed in spectacular
fashion when he crashed the bike during the test. READ MORE

Matt was like all young Canadians growing up in rural Ontario. The
majority of his memorable experiences as a youngster where formed
along the lakes, rivers and countryside with his childhood companions
and younger brother. Matt’s fondness for two wheels formed at an early
age, puttering around the pits of Sudbury on a mini-bike manufactured
in the garage of his late grandfather. Turn-after-turn, he waited
in a single line with his cousins. More laps were made around the
baseball field with a cloud of oil rich smoke than dirt kicked up
by sneakers. READ MORE
