When the guys at Yamaha Motor Australia are looking to get the best from the suspension of their adventure bikes, Teknik Motorsport is where they go. And when they go to Teknik Motorsport, it’s owner Nick Dole they want to talk to. It seems half the motorcyclists in Australia, on and off-road, are clamouring for Nick’s attention these days. At 43 Nick, of Penrith NSW, is an interesting bloke.

AdvR: You’re not only an in-demand technician and tuner, you manufacture a lot of your own components. How did all this get started?
ND: I started doing a light-vehicle apprenticeship in mid-1990. That was four years at TAFE working on cars, and in the third year I started an auto electrician’s trade course at night. I finished both in 1994.
