I guess you’d say I’m an experienced, NCTJ-trained automotive journalist… while I’ve had a life-long interest in bikes, I started writing about cars full-time in 2011, mainly for Parkers and CAR, but also Modern Classics, Classic Cars, Classic Car Weekly, Evo, Auto Express, T3, Jalopnik, Fleet News, the Daily Telegraph and more. I moved over to motorcycling on MCN in 2019, but I still race classic cars to this day, and love vintage vehicles of all types.Read more
I’m interested in engineering in general, from IT to aerospace, and I relish the challenge of developing digital storytelling. I’m a member of the BSME, and was awarded its Motoring Editor of the Year gong in 2021.
During 2025 I’m lucky enough to be running a Kawasaki Ninja 650 on the MCN fleet. Previous long-term test bikes include the Yamaha R7, Triumph Trident 660 and Royal Enfield Interceptor 650. I’m fairly well versed in the process of learning to ride a motorbike and have reviewed several motorcycles, including models as diverse as the Kawasaki Ninja 500 and Vespa 300 GTS.
