A bit about Brett Tinkley
Brett has ridden scooters and motorcycles from the age of 16 (some time ago now!), cutting his teeth with a Piaggio Typhoon 50, back in the day when it was a mighty air-cooled 2-stroke. Brett used his trusty (but slow) Piaggio scooter on a daily 30 mile round trip to and from college. Progression onto a 125 was next, and for that Brett purchased a rather tatty and abused Suzuki GS 125 with an unnatural thirst for 4-stroke oil and a modified custom duct tape seat.
Nowadays, Brett is part of the Lexham & BikeMatters content team, where he test rides all types of scooters and motorcycles. To see some of Brett's work please see below, or if you'd rather check out videos make sure to visit the BikeMatters channel on YouTube.
