Ben Gillies Quotes

When we were in Townsville we had a day off so we decided to go to Magnetic Island for the day. We hired some mopeds and went burning around the island. While burning up one hill that had some gravel, I lost control of my front wheel and then it was all over, I went arse over tit. The bike was wrecked.
