Fin is the Original Founder and now works in the shop part time after 33 years of excellent work getting Fins Motorcycles to where it is today.
When Fin was very young, on Saturdays ITV World of Sport showed Motocross, which sparked a lifelong enthusiasm for motorcycles.
Fin’s first bike, at the age of 12, was a 50cc Phillips, closely followed by a variety of small capacity bikes. From that age on, he has been repairing and riding them.
In 1988 Fin opened his first shop in a small unit and quickly increased in size until reaching capacity in the original location. In 2011 the business moved to the current location.
During the 1990s Fin was very successful racing a variety Yamaha 2-strokes with Bemsee. He still owns some of those race bikes.
The first famous motorcycle racer that Fin was introduced to was Stanley Woods from Ireland, as his father worked for him many years ago. Over the years Fin watched Barry Sheen’s career with interest and enjoyment, and now avidly follows Valentino Rossi.
These days Fin still enjoys track days, trials riding, road riding, and enjoys all aspects of motorcycling.
Since 2014 he has taken part in the annual Pioneer Run on his trusted 1913 Triumph.
