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.

🏁 IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN! 🏁 SO EXCITED TO BE RIDING THIS WEEKEND AT GOODWOOD FESTIVAL OF SPEED with @apriliaofficial_uk @fosgoodwood 

I'll be riding the 2024 RSV4 1100 Factory and RS660 up the hill and I cannot wait! 🇮🇹💨

The RS660 has been on my list to try so this will be the perfect place to open it up.

Here is a mini vlog from last year's shenanigans on the 2023 RSV41100 Factory. Featuring @thorntonhundredmotorcycles and @jordan_rand 

This will be 5th year at @fosgoodwood and it's always been an absolute blast!

🇯🇵🇮🇹 DISCOVER the Bimota KB4 – a blend of Italian elegance and Japanese performance. 

THE BIMOTA KB4 is another lovechild of a Kawasaki and a Bimota. With a Kawasaki 1000SX engine and Bimota chassis and bodywork, this unique sports bike has 142bhp and 111NM of torque. 

Handcrafted in Italy, with high amount of craftsmanship and attention to detail in every inch of the bike. 

Here are some of my favourite things about the KB4:

🦾 Engine: Powered by a 1043cc inline-four engine, producing 142bhp and 111 Nm of torque.

📏 Shorter wheelbase: The clever placement of the cooling radiator beneath the rear tail has allowed Bimota to shorten the wheelbase, resulting in the KB4 being exceptionally agile and nimble to ride at  1390 mm instead of 1000SX's 1440 mm wheelbase.

〰️ Chassis: An innovative hybrid frame combines a tubular steel trellis with aluminum plates for enhanced rigidity and precise handling.

♨️ Suspension: High-spec Öhlins suspension front and rear, fully adjustable, ensuring optimal comfort and control.

🛑 Brakes: Top tier Brembo Stylema callipers on dual 320mm front discs and 220mm rear disc, offering unparalleled stopping power.

🏋️ Weight: A dry weight of just 187 kg for a nimble and responsive ride.

💨 Aerodynamics: Unique carbon fiber fairings and aerodynamic features designed to reduce drag and improve stability at high speeds.

📱 Electronics: Equipped with advanced electronics, including traction control, ride modes, and a TFT display for easy navigation and customisation.

✍🏽 Design: Stunning Italian hand craftsmanship with a modern retro inspired look, combining classic style with contemporary performance and technology. 

The Bimota KB4 is not just a bike, it’s a work of art designed to exhilarate.

Where would you take the KB4 for a ride?
💚 HAPPY WEEKEND BIKE FAM 🤙🏽 Another funny encounter but this time on the H2. Pretty much sums up a typical conversation about this bike 😆

❓Is it your bike?
❓How much are they?
❓What's the fastest you been on it?
❓Wheelie it?
❓Can I have a go?
❓Is it turbo or supercharged?
❓I'd kill myself on one
❓What's it like to ride?
❓I reckon my gsxr would beat it still

I was en route to replace a tyre due to a puncture, filled it with air, got on the bike, got lost, stopped at Aldi, reset sat nav, then got talking to this chap. I could hear the rear tyre pissing air out. My anxiety was going up as air was going out. Made it in time. Phew!

ANOTHER WHOLESOME ENCOUNTER! This was an interesting one from last year’s @gentlemansride 🤦🏽‍♀️ 

Was such an epic ride through London, filled with roaring engines, dapper outfits, and great encounters and memories. 

Was brilliant to meet many of my you and basking in the sense of community.

Good to meet you @rajvirdee 😄🤘🏽

I can’t wait to see everyone’s bikes and outfits 🏍️ 🕴️ Who’s in?

"FEEL THAT POWER!" ALWAYS ON THE V4! 😂 I came across a South African fellow bike enthusiast indulging in some herbal inspiration 💨🌿 while admiring the sleekness of the 1100 😆👌🏽. 

This funny encounter encapsulates some of the many wholesome encounters that make our day and ride. 

It’s these spontaneous moments of connection that remind me why I love hitting the streets. Whether it's sharing a nod of appreciation or sparking up a conversation, the bike community never fails to surprise and delight. So here's to the unexpected, the unconventional, and the unforgettable moments that make our rides one of a kind!

⁉️ What's your most asked question when you're out on the bike?

looking for merch?

Online Shop

Throughout I have lived by the mantra of appealing to all genders, age groups and abilities of rider, everyone is equal. But I have certainly enjoyed promoting the fact that women can more than hold their own on 2 wheels!

I’m excited to launch my online shop with exclusive Ruby Rides Products and Merchandise.
