Well, People ask if my family are into Motorcycles, My old man was and guess thats what got me and my brother into it, We had shitty bikes as a kid, what we bought with our own money but, to us they were millions dollar machines, I think it made us better riders as we had crap bikes but rode them as hard as any of our mates did on their expensive machines.

Below is My Brother  (Mike Carpenter) with his restored HONDA CR250 that he stripped to the frame a rebuilt with a buddy of his using just his spare time, such a great machine and I managed to locate some of the parts over here in the USA for him to be able to make sure all was bang on the money. I guess it does run in the family, what a killer machine.

I have been into both style, where my brothers passion was Moto X and still today at the ripe old age of 53 he is still riding and entered for the second year, the VMXDN at Farleigh Castle in Bath Somerset. Below Mick and Life long mates Kevin Edwards #11, Probably the best mechanic for Motorcycles I know of anywhere in the world to be honest.

Such a great event to go see if you can and a gnarly track too. More ruts there than an abandoned Pikey Campsite.

Always great to be in any media to be honest- but was stoked to be in Riders magazine in Italy, as they are sure passionate about their Motorcycles and industry.

So to have an article about me in that that rag is so cool, this is a top quality magazine and many people have been featured like Rossi, Roberts and so many of my icons, so to see this really made my day and cannot thank them enough for coming to see me.

We get media from all over the globe visit us and have photo shoots with people from Helmet companies to high Fashion magazines, so we must be doing something right?

 

 

I remember them flying out to see me and they had an interpreter and we had a fun day chatting and taking photographs.
