His appreciation of the music of Jack Johnson has been mentioned on ITV's racing coverage. He also enjoys the likes of System of a Down and Linkin Park. At 6'2", he is tall for his profession which has its disadvantages over advantages, significantly. According to ITV's coverage, he has a habit of walking around circuits the evening before races with the aim of spotting extra details about the track. This is a habit picked up from his Grasstrack days where this behaviour is usual. His nickname is Shafter. As well as racing, Leon also enjoyed playing football as a youngster (playing for an Ashford based club called Bliby).

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“I am what is mine. Personality is the original personal property.”
—Norman O. Brown (b. 1913)
“We cannot discuss the state of our minorities until we first have some sense of what we are, who we are, what our goals are, and what we take life to be. The question is not what we can do now for the hypothetical Mexican, the hypothetical Negro. The question is what we really want out of life, for ourselves, what we think is real.”
—James Baldwin (1924–1987)
