Exclusive Luke Wilkins Q&A

 

Recently Express Insurance got to sit down with Kerrang! DJ and Express Insurance sponsored star of his very own Motorcycle Diaries, Luke Wilkins to find out a bit more about the man behind the microphone.

Read on below to dig deeper and find out more about Luke and his love for all things bikes!

 

If I could change anything about myself I'd...
Be 30ft tall and made of pure gold!! That or I'd be a professional bike racer!

Not a lot of people know this but I'm good at...
Loads of things, rowing, rugby, racing, modesty etc

You may not know this but I'm no good at...
Darning socks

If I have time to myself I...
Head out on the bike! I have no plan, I just point it at the horizon and go! Luckily having sat nav on your phone proves handy when you get lost!

It's not good for my image but I like...
Jazz

One thing I wish I could do better is...
Play guitar!

My  "Happy Place" is...
Anywhere with a bike between my legs and an open road ahead of me!
Either that or Walsall

The most expensive thing I've frittered money on is...
Ermmm bikes!! LOL!

The best day of my life was...
I loved the Moto GP - but that Dunlop testing day, getting to take out the BMW S1000R, Blade, GSXR and R1 in one day at Silverstone - pretty special!

The funniest thing that has ever happened to me...
Somehow people deciding the useless nonsense I spout about bikes sport and rock music was worthy of being paid for!! Crazy!!

The best bike I've ever ridden is ...
Ohhhh so hard!! I love the Ducati 1198R, R1, and Triumph Rocket 3 Roadster, but at the moment, I have to admit the GSXR 600 and Triumph Thunderbird hit the spot!!

My favourite band of all time is ...
Impossible question!! I love everything from Led Zeppelin to Kyuss. Just depends on my mood. I do have 40,000 albums now, so its hard to pin 'em down!!
