 Date of Birth - 11th of January 1960

Occupation - "I'm an engineer and work with anything with high engineering tolerances". Chris - and I suppose that's what attracted you to the Maico marque with it's "Nasa" quality high engineering specs.

 Marital Status - "I'm actually still waiting to be asked by my lovely partner my beloved Fiona, and maybe now if she reads this she'll pop the question to me". Chris - yes maybe but it might not be the question that your looking for".

Any Heroes - " I've allway's thought that Heikki Mikkola the superb works motocross rider from the 1960's and 70's was my inspiration".

Hobbies (other than motocross) - "I like hillwalking and ski-ing and any other he-man physical stuff". Chris - and what about shovin dead Maico's about a field that could be classed as  a hobby?.

Any websites or internet chatrooms - "No. . . I only use computers for business purposes and the occassional Twinshock Club browse when I'm bored".

 Then

What was your first bike - "You should remember this one it was a Yamaha 50 "Fizzy"Sports Moped or an FSIE and it had a gold tank and pedal's it was a wee cracker".

How much did you pay for it - "About £50 I think, my dad bought it as an accident damaged bike from a local insurance assessor".

First ever race - "That was at a grasstrack at our local track at Abernethy in 1976 and I was on a CZ 400".

First win (if any) - "That was a red letter day for me it was at that superb track at Burntisland in Fife in 1978 aboard a Maico 400, and I beat the legendary Johnny Whiteford into the bargain ... what a day".

Best ever result - "I hate to say it but it was the day I beat your mate Paul Chiappa in 2002 at the superb Darvel track when I got a 1st overall in the big bike 300cc class . . . I was made up".

Career highlights so far - "Of course that was joining the fantastic Scottish Twinshock Scramble Club" . . . .  Chris - Aye I was right at the start you do talk a load of shite Brian!.

Now

 What is your current bike - "I have a 1981 490 Maico (a big man's bike for big boy's of course) and a 1988 KTM 500 Evolution bike for when I need a bit more reliability".

What is the best feature of your current bike - "Well believe it or not I must have the only 490 Maico that actually starts from the kickstart (or is it just me), and it has been ultra reliable for me so far,. . . . oh aye and I love the big Maico's smooth power delivery as well".

What is the worst feature of your current bike - (Chris - And remember we are talking about a Maico here and I'd like to try and get this interview all on this page.) "Brian - Alright it's probably the high maintenance you have to keep giving them to keep them running. . .  in other words their just like a good looking woman really".

What would you do if you won the lottery - "I'd just emigrate to Australia and never do another stroke of work again".

What get's your back up What annoys you more than anything - "B. . . dy caravaners on the road when your trying to get somewhere in a hurry, their a pain in the arse they should be banned from the road".

Current race number - No 8

Ambitions for the future - "Well maybe a date with Naomi Campbell would do nicely for starters. . . .Chris - "You might have more of a chance with Archie Campbell" but then again you are called the Horse are'nt you !

Your views on the Cardenden track -  "It's definately better since the revamp but there is a couple of jumps I'm not too sure of yet I just need to learn them with some more practise".

Best Mate - "Easy that's the love of my life my partner Fiona . . .  ( now surely that last statement  will definately be cheaper than me buying her a birthday present when it's due".)

Finally any embarrassing bike or racing moments - "I once forgot to turn on the petrol on my bike at the start line on my 400 Maico at a scramble at Balvaird near Glenfarg in 1977, I just shot off the line and then the bike just died on me what a plonker I felt".

Chris - Cheers Brian and thanks for your time, Brian - "Nae probs big man see you at the next Twinshock meeting".
