Chris was born in Oxford and grew up in a family devoted to all things mechanical, but especially engines and motorbikes. He owned his first bike aged 11 - a Raleigh Runabout - quickly followed by a couple of scooters. When he turned 16, he realised his dream of becoming a 'Biker' ... on a Casals moped!
From these humble beginnings, his love of British bikes blossomed, owning and rebuilding a BSA Starfire, a Triumph T100, a Matchless G3LS, and a Bonneville T140V - before he finally returned to his teenage dream: the Triumph Trident.
Chris's experiences in restoring the Triumph Trident, a Kawasaki Z1, and a Norton Commando have led him to write three Enthusiast Restoration Guides, published by Veloce, as well as an 'Essential Buyer's Guide".
