Julian Challis spends most of his life on and around motorcycles and he is the bike tester for Adventure Bike Rider magazine. Starting on two wheels at the tender age of eight, Julian has ridden motocross, enduro, time trials, and adventure rallies, and has been a motorcycle journalist since 2005. His current bikes are two KTM 250 EXCs (2001 and 2013), a 1995 Yamaha TDM850, and a 2007 HRC Honda Fireblade. He also teaches CBT, rides camera bikes, and somewhat bizarrely, collects old clocks and watches.
