Put a name and a face to that voice on the phone, and get to know the people that make Teknik tick.
Nick Dole: Nick is a former uni dropout biomedical scientist. He also has a speech impediment that he considers an advantage in social situations. The resident mad scientist, he’s responsible for very little. He is passionate about machines however, and any way he can get them to go faster and work better. Nicks racing career peaked in 1994 with a 3rd place in the NSW Pony Express series. Realising his true racing talents he retired to Ballard’s workshop, helping others to achieve what he can’t. The buck stops with him.
New Team: We've had some changes lately, and our poor overworked Internet Slave (mentioned at the bottom of this page) hasn't had time to put up our new staff. Don't worry though, you'll meet them soon enough.
Paul Leybourne: Paul is deceptive. He seems all meek and mild but has a will of iron. Paul does a lot of the fork and shock servicing as well as minor and major servicing of complete bikes. Paul can regularly be seen on weekends racing his KX250F around local MX and enduro events. Don’t get his way, he’ll run you over.
Andrew Martin: Andrew is our CAD drawing guy. Now that we are designing a lot more parts in house, like our Yamaha WR fork kit, Marzocchi fork pistons and plenty of tools, Andrew has taken up the reign. Truth is he's moonlighting for us from his real gig as a student mechatronics engineer. Like all of us, he rides, having just traded up to a 95 GSXR750. Though he can still be seen rolling in to work on his pushie sometimes... must be a fitness thing.
Damien Taylor: See this nice website? Say thanks Damien. Hate the website and think it stinks, send Damien a dirty e-mail, he’s so laid back he’ll laugh it off. Got a genuine web related problem? Ask him. He’s a nice guy. Want too see something on the site that you know we do but can’t find it? Got a cure for insomnia that you want to test out? Drop him a line, he needs it.
