As part of the build up to Motorcycle Live 2015, which comes alive at The NEC, Birmingham on 28 November, Aprilia World Superbike rider Leon Haslam has described the moment he first came alive on a motorcycle.

As the son of former Grand Prix rider ‘Rocket’ Ron Haslam, the 32-year-racer was born into a motorsport family, so it’s hardly surprising that he started his own career at a young age. In the video, the younger Haslam talks about an early career victory in a far-away paddock, although his first overseas win came at an earlier age than you might expect!
