I am Lesley Wainwright. Born on a farm in Wellington, SA, in 1961. Schooled in Stellenbosch. I’ve always had a fascination for motorbikes since I was young. Finally got my drivers licence when living in Scotland at the age of 40 yrs. Love driving sidecars with the team. I’ve driving for Cape Sidecars for 14 years.
