Founder | Motorcycle Designer | Builder | Innovator

​

For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated by engineering and the challenge of creating something that has never existed before. I have always believed that innovation begins with a simple question: "What if?"

That question inspired me to undertake one of the most ambitious projects of my life—designing and building a fully operational Lexus V8-powered motorcycle from the ground up.

​

Over several years, I designed, fabricated, tested, and refined every aspect of the motorcycle. Every challenge presented an opportunity to learn, improve, and push the boundaries of conventional motorcycle engineering. The result is more than a custom-built machine; it is proof that bold ideas can become reality through persistence, creativity, and determination.

As the prototype evolved, so did a much bigger vision.

​

What began as a unique engineering project grew into the V8 Motorcycle World Championship—an international racing series in which countries compete on spectacular V8-powered motorcycles, designed to celebrate innovation, national pride, and world-class competition.

​

This championship is not just about racing. It is about inspiring the next generation of engineers, riders, mechanics, and innovators while creating a global motorsport platform unlike anything seen before.

​

My journey has also included personal challenges. I have been living with Parkinson's disease, a condition that can affect movement and coordination. Rather than allowing it to define what I could achieve, it strengthened my determination to continue designing, building, and pursuing this dream. Completing the prototype motorcycle reinforced my belief that perseverance and passion can overcome extraordinary obstacles.

​

Today, my goal is to share this vision with the world and to work alongside industry leaders, sponsors, and manufacturers to transform an ambitious idea into an internationally recognised motorsport championship.

I believe the greatest innovations are created by people who refuse to accept that something cannot be done.

​

Welcome to the beginning of a new era.
