Hometown: I like to qualify as having two, both in WA. The first is Albany in the Great Southern and the second, Karratha in the Pilbara on Noongar, Ngarluma and Yindjibarndi Country respectively. Age: 34.
Occupation: Actor, writer and producer.
First bike ridden: Honda CT110 Postie Bike.
First bike owned: Suzuki GS500. I bought it when I moved to Sydney for University to study acting at NIDA.
Current bike: A 1991 Harley-Davidson Heritage Softail. Hand-painted tank, shotgun pipes, tall ape-hangers brought back from a trip to Las Vegas and a beautifully scooped bucket seat. I share it with my dad, but since the bike and I were both born in the same year, it’s technically mine.
Hobbies and interests: Film, film, film! But also I love to travel, discovering new writers, meeting new folk and learning new things.
Ambitions, goals and dreams: Too many to list. But, ultimately, start a family, take care of them, keep everyone healthy, make sure my kids want for nothing and teach them to take care of their elders just as my family did for me.
Who inspires you? Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Gentleman outlaws.
What makes you happy? My girl, surfing, riding, time with family, good conversation and a meal with mates.
What would you never do again on a bike? Chase Jeff Ware around winding mountain roads in Palm Springs California as the rising sun pierced my vision. Three days later I remember thinking, ‘how the hell did I pull through that?!’
Motorcycling highlight so far: Crossing the Himalayas with Royal Enfield.
Favourite racer: I don’t have one… I’m the long boarder out the back of the surfing line up. Favourite music? Riff Raff by AC/DC.
Best bike you have ever ridden: Royal Enfield’s Bear 650.
Who couldn’t you do it without? My fiancée Romy Vuksan.
