Stephen Lamb
BikeSocial Production Manager
BikeSocial Production Manager since December 2018, Steve still considers himself a novice rider, despite passing his test nearly thirty years ago. Past bikes include a '95 Suzuki GSX600F (which he dropped in the first minute of ownership) and an '04 Yamaha FZ6 Fazer, Steve currently has a '21 Honda NC750X, a '16 Ducati Scrambler Classic, a MASH/ZNEN City Cruise 125 Scooter and is still (very slowly) building a '94 Yamaha SR125 'brat tracker'.
New to the world of publishing and journalism, coming from Defence and Automotive Procurement, Steve puts himself in the shoes of the average biker.
Just as happy tinkering in the garage as he is wielding a wash mitt, Steve enjoys all aspects of motorcycling, including just sitting in front of the TV following MotoGP, WSBK, BSB, the Bol D'or and the TT.
