I began my biking adventure after seeing a picture of Marc Márquez racing on his RC213V in a national newspaper. Being a petrolhead and looking for a new challenge, I typed “how to get a motorcycle license” into google!

Little did I realise that it would quickly become my consuming passion, from the initial purchase of my first bike, a CBR125.

I am now the proud owner of 1 hyper bike and 2 super sport bikes (KAWASAKI H2, S1000RR HP4 and an RSV4 1100). I have owned 11 bikes and have tested many other bikes along the way.

I regularly review new bikes and related products and attend numerous events every month as well as track days when I can. My enthusiasm for the sport is unlimited and grows on a daily basis.

In the early days I created my Instagram account @_rubyrides_ to share my daily experiences and passion for all things bike related. My posts quickly gained notoriety for their accurate information, tips and product reviews while still maintaining my fun and unique view on life.

🏍️ Bike Battle: Exhaust Showdown! 🎶

💣 Round 1: Aprilia RSV4 1100 Factory 🇮🇹 The Italian stallion! Equipped with the Austin Racing GP1R DECAT, this machine delivers a symphony of extreme power and performance, with each rev echoing passion and precision of Italian flair. 🤌🏽

💣 Round 2: Kawasaki Ninja H2 🚀 The supercharged mean machine! Fitted with an Austin Racing ARCS DECAT system, this beast’s exhaust note is pure music to my ears, boasting raw power and an aggressive edge that demands attention, with a distinctive supercharger whistle that sets the H2 aside from the rest. 

💣 Round 3: BMW HP4 - Austin Racing GP1R DECAT - A true precision machine and a masterpiece of German engineering. You got to love the way it pops and bangs with sparks and flames ☄️

🏁 GIRLS! TRACK season is here so let’s UNLEASH our inner speed queens! 👸🏽🤪 

I’ve had the Dainese Misano 2 D-Air Ladies Suit for a couple of years now and done a 4 trackdays in it. One shown here was on a @ducatiuk Streetfighter V4S at Silverstone. I’ve compiled some thoughts in the time I’ve had it and here I share it all with you.

When it comes to pushing ourselves on the track, we need some top notch protection that also looks good. 

I find that the more protection you’re wearing, the more confidence boost you get being in that gear, and that allows us to push ourselves to achieve more riding wise. 

Designed specifically for women, it’s equipped with state of the art airbag technology that deploys in milliseconds upon detecting a crash, providing essential protection to the shoulders, collarbones, and chest. This advanced safety feature not only enhances confidence on the track but also minimises the risk of serious injuries in high speed scenarios.

It has a nice tailored fit that contours the body shape so nicely, providing comfort and mobility during intense and spirited rides. I also love that it has stretch panels which gives a more ergonomic construction, allowing for unrestricted movement. It’s nice a snug yet flexible which is ideal for performance and agility on the track.

With its aerodynamic profile and premium materials, the suit is engineered to optimise aerodynamics and reduce drag, allowing riders to manoeuvre smoothly on the track. 

It’s lightweight with enhanced strategic breathability and comfort, enabling us to perform at our best without compromising on safety or style 😉

🕴️Misano 2 D-Air Ladies 🪖 @ruroc Atlas 4.0 Track Titan Gold

Have you tried the D-Air?
I see a follower? I race a follower! 😆 RSV4 1100 FACTORY VS NINJA H2 SX! 🇮🇹🇯🇵 

Was a fun ride on the 1100 and it was even more fun knowing a supercharged BEAST was chasing me.

I was thinking about the advantages and disadvantages of both bikes and overall I think both are obsene bikes in their own way.

If you look at the numbers both put out:

H2 SX - RSV4 1100

197BHP - 219BHP
137 Nm - 126 Nm
0-60: 3.1 secs - 3.2 secs
266 kg - 198 kg
WHEELBASE 1480 mm - 1441.6 mm
SUPERCHARGED INLINE 4 - V4 

If you compare geometry, ergonomics and riding position of both bikes, you’ll see that the 1100 has a more aggressive riding position with a more dipped front and jacked up rear, making it an absolute corner machine. 

I would say agility is where the 1100 has more advantage, thanks to being lightweight with a much shorter wheelbase than the SX, giving it more advantage through corners.

With a more balanced and comfortable geometry on the SX, a longer wheelbase, the SX is an absolute demon on a straight line that will give a lot of things a run for their money and a much more stable bike at high speeds. The SX also has the supercharger of course which gives it insane acceleration.

If you had to pick one which would you go for?

💚 H2ELLO from me and H2! 😆 A bit of Supercharged goodness to brighten up your day. 🥵🤌🏽

This bike gets a lot of "Oh it looks way better in the flesh!" And admittedly it's not everyones cuppa tea looks wise, nor is it the most photogenic bike, but it will make you look twice, even if you think it's ugly, you WILL look twice 😄🤘🏽 

As I was editing my @sywellaerodrome runway footage from @supercarfest last year, it got me excited to take it on the run way again this year at @sywellaerodrome and @santapodraceway , would be great to get some epic times and top speeds, but I'll probably just end up stalling it 🙃 

It took me a few hrs to take out the baffle and wadding inside the @austinracingexhausts so imagine the sound down the strip!

Who wants an updated sound test? 🔈💥

See you at @supercarfest Mallory Track event on the 27th July!
