Dave started racing at 19 and stepped up to the British Superbike paddock in 2005, racing a ZX-10R in the Superstock Cup and Superstock Championship. His road racing journey began with the Superbike race at the Centenary TT in 2007 — 66 TT starts and 57 finishes later, he is one of the most experienced riders around the Isle of Man Mountain Course.

As RAPID’s head riding coach and Crew Chief of the RAPID HONDA race team, Dave has spent two decades building the link between the skills it takes to race in the toughest domestic championship in the world and the skills that make you faster, safer and more confident on the road.

Police Class 1Career police motorcyclist

Iain dreamed of riding bikes for a living from the moment he watched two police motorcyclists working the main road outside his school window — and got the dream job. A career police motorcyclist with hundreds of thousands of miles behind him, on duty and on his own VFR750.

What keeps him riding is the flow state: the ability to forget everything else and just focus on the ride. Now he helps others find that same satisfaction — and rarely misses the annual Scotland tour.

He became the first European to race professionally in the American AMA Flat Track series, and founded the Champions Flat Track school at Glentham to coach riders in machine control in any conditions — skills that feed straight into RAPID coaching.
