I am the driver Matt Sayle.
I live in Ballaugh in the Isle of Man and work for myself as a TV aerial
and Satellite installer. I have a 1 year old son Charlie and live
with my bird Vanessa.
I originally started a passenger
in 2003. After a heavy fall riding with Karl Bennett and another at
TT 2005 with Steve Sinnott I decided Passengering was not for me.
With no experience riding motorcycles I decided what the hell buy my own
bike and give it a go. Starting with a old Derbyshire outfit then
moving on to a Ireson I raced at Jurby and a few times in the UK. In
2006 I bought my present bike a Windle. In late 2006 I decided to
enter the TT but with slow engines never really had a chance.
Hopefully this year with my new Suzuki GSXR 600 K7 engines we should be a
bit more respectable.
Passengers
I have 2, first one is Paul
Bumphrey (24) from Douglas is the Isle of Man. AKA Lenny.
Lenny started with me last year and has done about 8 meetings. He's
doing really well especially with being over 6ft tall. After only 3
meetings together we were also selected for the Isle of Man Celtic Match
Race team. Hopefully Lenny will qualify for the TT in 2014.
Until then he's going to be in the pits and doing all the club rounds he
can.
My other Passenger is Tony
Palacio (43) from Lancashire. After my victim from last years TT
decided to find another ride I put an advert on the web looking for a
passenger. Straight away Tony was on the phone. We met at TT
he was on bike 70 and I was on 71. Tony's got 5 years TT experience
and is really looking forward to this year riding with me at the TT and
the Southern 100 where we both Debut this year.
