From Wollongong NSW, competed on 250cc GP Yamaha’s and production bikes in long distance events with mixed results. He worked for Kevin Cass (Kevin Cass Yamaha) and Geoff Simm (Centrestand Motor Cycles) over a number of years. He was always involved in motor cycles whether it be managing shops, riding or racing. He was tragically killed riding his road bike.
John was a friend and fellow competitor in the 1970’s. Easy going but a talented roadracer. When I returned to Wollongong for a visit after 20 years, John offered me his bike for an afternoon ride like I had never been away.
