Abit about meh.

This is a little background into me and where my love of bikes started and my second dawn to dusk experience :). The plan for this blog is mainly for school work only, with media studies. But ill try and do some other posts to do with other stuff, like with racing and personal experiences with it. Ill be mainly discussing stuff happening within the news so look out for that. Anyway i'm Matt Gore, 16 and from camarthen. I live with my mum and dad and the little rat of a dog, Alfie the border terrior who's three. I've been into motorbikes since I was 3 and racing motocross since i was 6. At 10 my dad decided to introduce me into enduro, starting off with 1 hour and a half races with wyre forest enduro club and did so for a few years. Then started to want to do more extreme races and more harder events so i decided to start doing Carl tileys in wales. The events are always really good and are well organised. After doing a few of them, just to mention they are double the time of the wyre forest ones and I was racing with adults when i should be still in the kids races! Then last august me and my good friend Jack Davies from cwmncarn, raced the dawn to dusk 6 hour 2 man race. We ended up coming 4th after just missing out by 3 seconds on going out on the next lap, meaning we would of probably got third. I find the event okay and it really suited my riding style. So after leaving we said we would do it next year and get on the podium. 2012 arrived and the suzuki was not able to be ridden due to the constant engine problems caused to burn a huge hole in my dads pocket so i didnt ride for months, which didn't bother me too much as I still had downhill to keep me busy. And then in early July, I got my new bike, a brand new honda crf 250x. I had a matter of a month and abit to get used to the bike, set it up, and run it in. But in the end it all paid off. The honda worked a treat in the this years Dawn to dusk. I got the holeshot and we ended up 2nd overall, even when i got a flat tyre on the last5 miles of the last lap. Result! Was very impressed with it and was a big relief of getting on the podium and the honda working a dream! Cant wait for next years dawn to dusk! Peace! Links to the clubs mentions below:
