Hi, I'm Sonia...
I’m a motorcycling enthusiast on a quest to help people become more comfortable not only with riding, but with motorbike maintenance.
When I was about four, I had spanners put in my hand, and by the time I was fourteen, I was helping my father strip down the HQ ute’s motor – and after honing the cylinders, put it back together again.
I have four motorbikes. Five grandchildren.
And I’ve gone from being a 9 to 5 public servant to founding Canberra’s first social enterprise for motorcycle owners.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
About the Rebuild A Motorcycle project:
“I now understand what I am paying for when I take my bike in for a service and what the mechanics are saying when they are telling me what they’ve done or when they’re trying to explain a problem. This course has been great for creating that understanding and in developing the knowledge I now have.”

“Just teach me how to change the oil, coolant, brake pads, correctly lube the chain on my Trumpy, and provide a cool ‘bike place’ to hang out and I’ll be immensely happy.” Supporter, June 2023
