His mechanical expertise spans road bikes, race bikes, scooters, ATVs, custom motorcycles and rider development, with decades of experience diagnosing, building and fine-tuning motorcycles for both recreational and competitive riders.
​A passionate competitor himself, Glen has been involved in motorcycle racing since the 1980s across Post Classic road racing, flat track, pocket bikes and scooter racing. He has worked alongside and been mentored by some of Australia's most respected names in motorcycle racing, including Wayne Gardner and Mick Doohan, experiences that have shaped his practical approach to motorcycle performance and rider coaching.

Through Track Tune Australia he has conducted rider workshops that teach motorcycle owners how to better understand, maintain and safely operate their motorcycles. His mentoring style combines technical knowledge with practical, real-world riding experience, helping riders build confidence, improve hazard perception, strengthen decision-making skills and develop safer riding habits.
​Today, Glen continues to work alongside John Burns delivering advanced rider training through Ride to Zero, where his decades of experience in racing, motorcycle engineering and rider mentoring contribute to evidence-based training that helps riders become safer, more skilled and more confident on the road.
