E78: Grant Morris - Multiple WA state champ and SSDT first class award winner

This week we are chatting with Grant Morris. Grant should be well know to our Australian listeners as he is multiple time West Australian state champion, and for a period also spent time riding on Australia's East Coast.

 

However what makes this chat with Grant have even more global appeal is Grant spent 10 years over in the UK based around Bury & Rochdale riding UK trials, including a total of 9 SSDT attempts which in his last one in 2009 gained him a long sought after First class award.

 

He also tells us of his time at the Scott trial, the chasing the Road National Series & event the French 4 day.

 

Grant also went on to a career in motorcycling first with Apico while in the UK and then KTM group when he returned to Australia. With KTMs recent acquisition of Gas Gas, Grant is now the unofficial DOT (Director of Trials) here in Australia.

 

I took this opportunity to asking him on his perspective of KTMs ambitions in the trials arena and did my best to get scoops on the plans for the Gas Gas trials bikes.

 

I hope you enjoy this chat with Grant Morris.
