To be a great motorbike racer, the most important thing is passion for the bike.

Valentino Rossi

I have designs I like applied to my helmet, motorcycle, riding suits, gloves,and boots. I have a designer friend of mine put the designs on them for me. I think a livery on the helmet is significant in expressing a rider’s personality.
