Garry is the proprietor of "Big Bang Engines" and would have
to be one of the most successful riders in Motolite
and Superlite racing. Always innovative and on the
leading
edge of technology his bikes are always running
at the front and with more and more riders
beating a path to his dyno the standard of
competition keeps improving.
Always helpful (as most Bucket Racers are) there
isn't any engineering or tuning task that he
can't
handle.
