but that doesn ’ t mean I am wedded to Harleys . I love all types of bikes , and I bought my first car at the age of 57 . I was once the editor and then editor-in-chief of Ozbike magazine , and its offshoots . I did that for 10 years , then moved into girly magazines in Australia ’ s largest publishing company , where I ultimately became editor of The Picture , the biggest-selling men ’ s magazine in Australia and New Zealand . This is also when I started contributing to AMCN , going to bike launches , and meeting like-minded people like our editor , Ben . Rides like the wind , he does . I liked him because he didn ’ t beat his chest about how quick he was . I have since edited a bunch of bike magazines , and contributed columns and road-tests to them all , and I have been published in overseas bike mags in England and India . Somewhere in there , I found time to write three books about my shameful and wasted life . It seems that me being a massive shit-magnet is hugely amusing , and if you ’ re interested , there ’ s an ad for those books somewhere in this magazine . I have no time for dickheads , believe respect is always earned and never automatically given , and I try very hard not to be a bastard unless there is no alternative , and then I ’ ll be the biggest bastard there ever was . I ’ m brutally honest , and don ’ t ever imagine I write for effect . I don ’ t . I write what I actually feel , and while I am not a journalist , I guess I am a writer – and there ’ s a difference . I don ’ t for one second imagine my readers will agree with everything I say , but I live in hope they ’ re switched on enough to actually comprehend what I have written before they start yelling . And if they disagree , then they should play the ball and not the man . And save your death-threats and promises of violence for someone who cares . So , that ’ s who I am . Now , let ’ s find out who you are , shall we ?
