I am former Brittish Champion.... well class 3 brittish autotest champion in '99, and several overall scottish autotest championships

.

Claim to fame; met; The Rolling Stones

, Lulu

, The Corrs.

.. and I forget the rest! Occasionally chat with Robbie Coltrane about car stuff.

Have set off speed cameras, doing twice the speed limit, through red lights, with police behind me... and got away with it

! Police were also in front of me, as I had six bikes giving escort for President Bush's luggage during the G8 summit last year. Top fun, driving as quick as you can, with police escort. Shame it was in a mercedes sprinter van

Also done 90 along princes st in Edin, again with police escort

Met Stirling Moss, Jackie Stewart, Lawrence Hoy, and even the legend called Tut!

Not in the slightest! At first I assumed you were a pathologist, but refs to live surgery suggest otherwise

We could use a fella like you on some of our runs!!!

Don't go there, I was one of the first to buy a PACE. Back then it was only a hard tale. I think the first bike lasted about 3 weeks. After I broke 3 they told me to go away

Think I have broken about 7-8 frames in total. Think this was why bike companies stopped sponsoring me?

My other claim to fame was when I was racing in the USA. I raced dual slalom against Greg Herbold (who was world champion at the time 1992) in Durango town centre with about 3000 people watching. Yes I got my arse whipped.

ive done that too, in greece, 4 days into a two week holiday.
they had to manipulate the bones with no pain killers, man that hurt....

I broke both my arms and dislocated my left shoulder while mountain biking

Not sure that any of these are claims to fame however

The dose of morphine took me to a nice place though!
