What happened to him?

He was Oz's top MX/SX rider at one stage, back in the days of Glen Bell, Mr Gobert & Mr Mc Farlane....

He has done some road racing & was racing a ZX6 at one stage in BSB...

More stuff I found....

Man receives additional sentence for indecent images - Crowthorne
A former Crowthorne man, who is currently serving six and a half years in prison for drugs offences, had his sentence increased by nine months after police discovered indecent images of children on his computer.

Kim Ashkenazi, 31, of Thornden, West Sussex, was sentenced at Reading Crown Court on 17 March to six-and-a-half years for possession of Class A, B and C drugs with intent to supply.

On 28 April, also at Reading Crown Court, Ashkenazi received an additional sentence of nine months imprisonment, to run consecutively, for possession of indecent images of children. He was also placed on the Sex Offenders’ Register for 10 years.

Ashkenazi was arrested as part of Operation Harp, which investigates the use of payment cards for accessing web sites known to contain indecent child images. Thames Valley Police executed a warrant at his address in September 2004, where they seized computers which were found to contain hundreds of indecent images of children. During the search, ecstasy tablets, amphetamines and cannabis were also seized. Ashkenazi later pleaded guilty to possession of half a kilo of cocaine with intent to supply while on bail for the above offences.

He also had a dabble in road racing in the mid 90's. I can actually claim to have beaten him!!!! :lol: Mind it was his first ever road race.....so probably not a fair comparison :lol: :lol: :lol: :oops:

Thats him. 100% I never would have thought he would get into that sort of scene.

I had the pleasure (NOT) Of being flown to Sydney as a witness for the Australian Disputes Commission hearing after Kim was disqualified from the Melbourne round of the Supercross Masters for unsportsman like riding when he took out Eddie Warren. Kim was racing for the Peter Jackson Yamaha Team at the time. I think it was the year after he headed to the States to race for the Primal Impulse Honda Team for a season or 2. He then returned home to get married after the offer of a decent ride dried up in the States.

I think he actually did a season or two on Kawasaki, semi Factory in the Aussie supersports before he headed to the UK.

He only managed mostly mid pack finishes road racing in the UK but i know he finished on the podium in a one off return to 125cc MX at a round of the British MX championships.

Once again it is shattering to see talent like that go to waste. In his days in MX in Australia he was by far the top payed racer for the time.
