In 1972, he broke the World Sidecar Land Speed Record, on a Triumph Trident based machine, Road Runner III, which he built himself. His record stood unbeaten for over 35 years. In 1975, he started his own business, developing after market parts for Triumph Motorcycles. He was appointed Patron of the TOMCC in 2018.
