Boris Mihailovic

Boris is an irredeemably pure motorcycle tragic. He has ridden almost two million miles in the past five decades, mainly in Australia, but also in Europe and Asia. He has raced bikes, briefly and very disgracefully, and would rather not address that shameful part of his riding career in any detail.

He has no other hobbies or interests. He does lift weights. But only because he needs extra strength to keep on riding bikes well past the time most men would be resigning themselves to incontinence pants. In his time, Boris has ridden, and continues to ride and review, almost everything the motorcycle industry produces. His views have been described as “Cruel, but fair”, “Surely, not on a public road”, and “Did he really write that?”

But the fact is that until he’s reviewed the bike, it really hasn’t been reviewed.

As a result of his two-wheeled obsession, about which his poor mother still regularly speaks to Jesus, Boris is one of Australia’s most renowned and infamous motorcycle journalists – which he finds amusing since he has no formal journalistic qualifications. His work has featured in BikeMe!, MCNews, Car Advice, Bikesales, Australian Motorcyclist, Heavy Duty, Ozbike, Live to Ride, Australian Motorcycle News, Road Rider, Two Wheels, Just Bikes, Top Gear, Wheels, Zoo, Penthouse, The Picture, Ralph, FHM and countless other magazines over the years.

His MotoGP podcast, MotoPG, reaches a staggering 7 million listeners per season. He's had at least four books published, including The Wisdom of the Road Gods, Sh!t My Wife Says and My Mother Warned Me About Blokes Like Me.

He’s also keen on fried dumplings and violent Korean films, but has eased off on the whisky of late.
