Hi, my name’s Mark…
I’m a regular guy from Australia, I follow Formula 1, I’m a gym-rat, I hold a commercial pilots licence, and I also like creating online content which I’ve done for many years.
However… despite all of the awesome experiences I’ve managed to pack into life very little comes close to that fine September day in 2020 when I took the plunge and passed the final road test to get my motorcycle licence, and to say life has never been the same is a gross understatement!
But Covid19 made finding my first bike a nightmare…
The entire planet had shut down and no new stock was arriving from anywhere… in Australia at least, people had spare time and spare cash, so every secondhand bike was being snapped up at stupid prices… but eventually I found my baby, a 2018 KRT Ninja 650, and it was, and is, absolutely epic.

A former editor of Wide Open, Motorcycle Product News, and WaterCraft World among other magazines, he has also contributed many articles to a variety of motorcycle periodicals and websites.
