MCN Content Writer, dog dad and motorcycle adventurer - After gaining experience in various technical roles within the motorcycle trade, I joined Motorcycle News as a Content Writer in 2024. My passion for motorcycles began early, growing up in a bike-enthusiast family. My youth was spent riding trails, motocross, and briefly road racing. At 19, after earning my A2 license, I discovered a love for touring, completing the NC500 in Scotland shortly after. Driven by a thirst for adventure, I undertook a ride from the UK to Azerbaijan and back, traversing Europe, Western Asia, and North Africa. More recently, I undertook a 20,000km journey from the UK to South Africa along Africa’s west coast.
