Additional Info: Ruben was selected by his Coach – Davey Mulligan @ Cornerstone Offroad Motorcycle Academy – to take part in a PSNI Motorcycle Safety Campaign in order to demonstrate a ‘How To Approach’. The reasoning given for Ruben’s selection, first and foremost, was his attitude – and as a Team – it is his attitude of which we are most proud.
