Following this early introduction to the world of motorcycles, Nye has since dabbled in trials, motocross, road racing, hillclimbing, enduro and overland travel.
He’s now ticked off 50 countries by bike, with his two most notable trips being a four-month jaunt to Azerbaijan and back, as well as a more recent 20,000km solo expedition down the west coast of Africa, all the way to Cape Town.
Nowadays, Nye mostly gets his kicks exploring the UK’s unmetalled road network, racing enduros and rallies aboard his KTM 500EXC-F, or tackling his local karting tracks with his supermoto pitbike – which often leaves him well acquainted with the ground.
When he’s not out riding or covering the latest biking news, you’ll find Nye out cycling, walking his five rescue pups or wondering why his classic Land Rover has broken down – again.
