Dave O’Connor grew up riding dirt bikes in Waterford, Ireland. He started riding when he was 15 but had a dream to come to California to work in the motorcycle industry. He spent three months riding the tracks of Southern California and loved it so much he applied for jobs at several different companies, landing at KTM North America as media relations technician for six years before taking over the department as media relations manager. He loved going to the track and helping all the test riders, yet he wanted his own business, so he took the plunge and started his own racing services shop. DOC MX Racing Services was born, and so was his vet weapon of choice: the 2020 KTM 250 SX-F.
