The Bear launched four motorcycle magazines, edited another, and wrote for the likes of The Bulletin, The Australian, Playboy and Sydney's Sun Herald on the subject of bikes and riding. He helped to found the Ulysses Club and designed its logo, wrote the City of Sydney's motorcycle parking policy, made Australia Post's bike delivery safer, researched and wrote five editions of the Australia Motorcycle Guide and helped unemployed youths to learn motorcycle maintenance.Most of all, though, he rode and wrote about it. With well over a million miles under his belt on two wheels, he is one of the world's most experienced motorcyclist. And last but far from least, he has a terrific sense of humour.view less
