Saffron Wilson
After growing up around motorcycles Saffron had no choice but to fall in love with them herself and got on two wheels as soon as she turned 16. From there she took herself through university achieving a BA in Creative Writing and Fine Art joint honours. From there, she kept studying in her spare time and achieved a Level 3 Diploma in Journalism from the NCTJ whilst undergoing work experience at her local paper alongside her regular job.Read more
Saffron has worked in different roles including marketing in different sectors of the automotive industry including cars, buses and coaches, but always wanted to write about her passion – motorcycles.
She joined MCN in April 2021 just as the pandemic was beginning to calm down. Since then, she’s had a go at off-road, spent time on a track but still rates touring and travelling as her favourite hobby, and uses her long-term test bikes to realise that passion and better inform the consumer of what they may be potentially buying.
Saffron tends to be the travelling journo and loves getting into a good feature, so don’t be afraid to say hi if you’re out and about. When she’s not riding bikes for MCN she can be found on her Harley-Davidson Heritage Softail.
