Bio

Chris is son of former Grand Prix motorcycle racer Richard Morley. So a flying start in bike racing was always on the cards! Chris started racing at club level in 1989 in the 250 production class (where the rider counts) and was soon winning. In 1991 Mick Grant chose Chris to join Martyn Jupp and James Whitham to become the youngest rider in Suzuki GB's factory squad.

Despite very little experience, between 1991-92 Chris showed promise in the British Championships. In 1991 Chris qualified on the front row at Snetterton alongside Jay Vincent and James Whitham and in 1992 Chris led a big name field at Mallory Park before being caught and past by circuit expert and 2011 Macau GP winner Michael Rutter. A huge accident at the start of 1993 prompted Chris to stop racing and go to University. A successful career in Business Trade Associations followed.

In 2007, Chris returned to the sport, competing in Formula 400. As well as finishing first in F400 races, over the next two years he also scored pole positions and wins in races open to larger capacity and faster motorcycles.

In 2010, seeking a bigger challenge, Chris switched from 400s to Superbikes. The latest 1000cc fire breathers are "somewhat quicker" than twenty year old 400cc bikes, - but Chris has been successfully chiseling away at the laptimes. In the last race of 2011 he bagged third in the Aintree Superbike final, only narrowly missing out on the win. Rising star and fourth place finisher Christian Peck was a further 12 seconds behind.

With the learning years on the big bikes now behind him, Chris hopes that 2012 will provide some great results, publicity and laughs for Pitty's Custom Vinyls.
