Hi I'm Matt, the tyre technician at Sticky Stuff Motorcycle Tyres. I spend my days fitting motorcycle tyres, helping riders choose the right rubber for their bikes, and sharing honest, real-world advice based on hands-on experience. When I'm not in the workshop, you'll usually find me riding my Triumph Tiger—a bike I absolutely love. Fair warning though: if you get me talking about it, I'll probably chat your ears off! Many of the tyres I review are tested on my own bike, so everything I write comes from genuine riding experience, with the aim of helping fellow riders choose the best tyres for their next adventure.
