The CompanyMoore Performance
Engineering (MPE) came into being very recently due to my job becoming redundant.
My employers closed the factory and sent the work to Poland, India and
China. The seeds for the company were sown many years earlier. It started when a
racing friend of mine, knowing I was an engineer During September 2006 the announcement was made that the company would close in Jan 2007 and I was informed that I would be losing my job. The decision was made to start up on my own, and as such, Moore Performance Engineering was born.

ago and decided to compete in classic and forgotten era classes with a
Weslake Triton, which I built, with assistance from Pete Smith, my good friend and mentor,
from a collection of parts amassed over a period of time. I found this machine to be extremely
fast and well behaved, if a touch fragile, but far to heavy for my small stature. I continued to race
this machine but when a 250 singles class was formed in my local A.C.U centre, I decided to build
myself a lightweight BSA B25 single. This machine was my main rider for many seasons and after much tuning
and development i.e. big bore/short stroke, belt drive, crank mounted ignition
plus many more mods, it eventually repaid the effort, winning the Aintree 250
singles championship in 1999. At this point, I decided I had reached it's limits
with development and felt I could achieve
better results on a two
stroke, as all the two stroke racers were continually leaving me out of the top 5
(Aintree runs singles and twins concurrently with separate awards).
My trusty old BSA just couldn't compete down the straights.
nt race machine, a
, asked if I would be able make
some replacement gears with alternative ratio’s suitable for racing, for their
classic racing bike. I set about this task, only as a “foreigner”, during work
time, and using all the resources available to me, was able to produce a very
acceptable gear set. When fitted to my friends bike, it assembled easily, ran
smoothly and quietly, and was declared a very worthwhile improvement. Over time,
whenever gears were mentioned during conversation, as gearboxes always are
around the paddock on race days, my name was always brought up. Before long I
was producing more gears as “foreigners” than I was doing company work. .JPG){kind=link}
