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

Fresh from his 2015 SBK title win, Kawasaki rider Rea reveals that his passion for motorcycling actually began on the dirt rather than the race track and at the tender age of just three years old, when his father put him on a motocross bike.

Luckily for race fans around the world, Rea quickly fell in love with all types of two-wheel riding and his undeniable skill has seen him rise to World Champion. To view the video click here.
