“Speed was the essence for me. Eddie Cane is like my big brother and he gives me the opportunity to ride and do what I love to do. As long as I do what I need to do, Eddie keeps me racing. Without him, there would definitely be no me. I will always be loyal to Eddie. Most people do not get a chance to do what they truly love to do as a job. If I could race 7 days a week, I would.“

“I fear no man when it comes to racing and I am always be ready for whatever happens. But I stay humble and everytime I strap up on these motorcycles, I say a blessing and know that God has every situation.”

“The world is an ash tray to Eddie Cane and it is a blessing for me to operate such a machine.”
