Shane Brown as enjoyed riding motorbikes from an early age owning various machines from an old Suzuki TS250 trail bike (His first bike) thru a Suzuki 250 road bike (his first legal road bike), an interesting Honda 750 V4 and others along the way, as well as experience on countless other machines. He currently does not own a road bike and he says this is because he enjoys still having a licence. And as yet the local police don't book people for speeding on the drag strip.

In 2001 he was tuning his current road bike, because that’s what he liked to do, when his mate Slacky turned up, his comment to Shane was “how do you know if you are improving the performance”. Shane's answer being “you can usually feel the difference”, “yeah” said Slacky “but why don’t you bring the machine out to the drags and then you can accurately see if you have given it more grunt”, and then he went on to explain to Shane about "Test & Tune meetings".

The rest as they say is history. Shane went, absorbed, and was converted. Here was a sport which combined his greatest loves: motorcycles, speed, performance tuning and as he was to find out, the friendliest most helpful group of enthusiasts you could hope to meet.
The early meetings were on his trusty daily road bike a Yamaha FJ1100 and he was soon hooked on the thrill he got from pushing himself and his machine as fast as possible, testing reflexes and his tuning skills to the limit.
Shane gets great satisfaction from his successes (which number quite a few in the short period he has been involved in Drag racing), and education from his not so successful outings.

No stranger to the dangers of motorcycles generally, he has suffered many broken bones as a result of leaving his bike unintentionally or not leaving it when he should have, however this is the price he is willing to pay for the rush of adrenalin on two wheels.
