Celebrating winning the
2017/18 NZSBK championship
“
Well I think I have already made a
name. I’d just like to change it a little
Boris: Yes, well, you are a target-rich
environment. Here. Let me help you feel
better about yourself. Do you remember
coming around the outside of me in Turn
Three at Phillip Island at the Suzuki GSX
launch? I was pretty shit wasn’t I?
Sloan: It’s nice that you know how it feels for
me to ride with the likes of Maxwell, Allerton
and Waters.
Boris: You’re determined to make a name for
yourself in Australian road-racing aren’t you?
Sloan: Well I think I have already made a
name. I’d just like to change it a little. The
series is so strong this year; a top 15 is a
respectable finish but I know I have the ability
to challenge for a top 5. If I can just finish the
first practice session in Darwin without any
drama I will be in a good space.
Boris: Do you think the way forward is maybe
being the first trans-gender racer?
Sloan: Hahaha! Well I have been doing a bit
of kart racing lately and had my arse handed
to me by a pretty little girl. That didn’t go
down well. Have you seen how fast the girls
are these days? I think going through all that
drama and getting my arse kicked by Avalon
Biddle who can’t even reach her handle bars
on a 600 would be a very good reason to
reconsider my drinking habits…
Boris: Thanks for the chat and good luck in
Darwin, mate. I’m going to call you afterwards
and see how you went.
Sloan: Easy as. Thanks.
