Life Away From Speedway
Outside of the sport Morris owns a chain of snack shops in South Wales and is a keen singer/songwriter, in 2005 he won a Karaoke contest at Pontins in Prestatyn, which lead to him performing a duet with Sinitta on Channel Five. In the spring of 2009 under the guidance of Uppy McGuppy he formed a Boyzone tribute band along four close friends, Barry, Leon, Andy Hutton and fellow speedway rider Tim Webster. Known as BOYOZONE they have built up a cult following across Wales and headlined the 2010 Barry Island festival along with Ian "H" Watkins from Steps.

Famous quotes containing the words life and/or speedway:
“Innocence is lovely in the child, because in harmony with its nature; but our path in life is not backward but onward, and virtue can never be the offspring of mere innocence. If we are to progress in the knowledge of good, we must also progress in the knowledge of evil. Every experience of evil brings its own temptation and according to the degree in which the evil is recognized and the temptations resisted, will be the value of the character into which the individual will develop.”
—Mrs. H. O. Ward (1824–1899)
“The improved American highway system ... isolated the American-in-transit. On his speedway ... he had no contact with the towns which he by-passed. If he stopped for food or gas, he was served no local fare or local fuel, but had one of Howard Johnson’s nationally branded ice cream flavors, and so many gallons of Exxon. This vast ocean of superhighways was nearly as free of culture as the sea traversed by the Mayflower Pilgrims.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
