My first experience on a motorbike was when I was 18yrs old.  Living down the South Coast NSW was my first experience away from home.  I lived with my boyfriend who, one day, brought a motorbike home.  It was a Honda CB360.  He said, “Have a go, it’s easy”.  In true Katherine form, I jumped on and worked it out as I went along and lived to tell the tale.  From that moment on, I knew that one day I was going to own a motorcycle.  What fun!  

Around 25 years ago I decided it was time to go for it.  So, I attended the Pre-Learner training at the HART Motorcycle Training Centre in St Ives, Sydney.  Since that time, I have ridden motorcycles.  From the old smokey jalopy at a friend’s farm to my cousin’s dirt bikes until finally owning my own bike.  The first bike I bought was a Suzuki GSXR-600.  Yep, a massive handful of a bike.  That bike and I have had some wonderful adventures up and down the East Coast of Australia.  Everything from country riding, long trips to Phillip Island to see the MotoGP, to track days at Eastern Creek and Luddenham Raceway.

Finally, I decided that I wanted to pursue a motorcycle career in training.  I have been an Accredited Instructor since 2017.  I just love what I do.  I’m passionate about riding and all aspects of it.
