Company description
I'm Fabienne Phillips, founder and lead instructor at Girl Torque.cc. Motorbikes have been a part of my life since I can remember. Luckily for me, I had the best of both worlds, growing up in the city and country where bright lights and excitement mingled with the addictive openness of the Australian Bush. It was the perfect life for a teenager who loved to paddock bash on a dirt bike with no road rules, dirt flying everywhere and the smell of grass and gasoline in my hair.
When I was in my early teens, I inherited a wonderful pre-60’s Mobylette from my French grandparents. I loved riding it, although quirky, it was fun peddling to engage first gear, revving-ish its 49.9 cc engine, and cautious on its frail, antique structure. I lovingly restored the Moby and placed it in storage, and after the country property sold, I parked away my motorbike riding too. It’s only now that I look back on that gap of 26 years and wonder why on earth I didn’t keep it up or rekindle my passion for bikes sooner.
