Mark started life on two wheels aged 8 on a Mobylette in his Grandfather's back garden. It was in the blood; Mark's Great Uncles raced sidecars at the TT, once finishing 5th. His Grandfather was a speedway rider. As for Mark, he once held a licence to race motorcycles in Italy, has completed the 'Iron Biker' challenge around the Alps and one day wants to ride around the entire coastline of the UK on a motorcycle..
