Mathieu Day-Gillett turned to motorcycling as his preferred means of transport during university, and has been hooked on bikes ever since.

Based in New Zealand, he first started writing about bikes for the New Zealand Herald’s motoring magazine, Driven, before jumping in the deep end and joining Bike Rider and Dirt Rider Downunder magazines—a gig he considers his dream job.

He has a strong appreciation for small capacity machines, as well as an unhealthy interest in boxer engines.
