Hello, I’m Wil! A road rider pretending to ride off road. Well, when I say ride, I mostly mean fall.
Various stages of my biking history over my 19 year ‘career’ has led me to the Tenere 700 coming from a Thruxton R. Despite the change, I am still a hipster at heart, so I still ride around in my Biltwell Gringo, just it has a peak now.
As an engineer and photographer, I try and mix form and function as best I can. I find the most focussed machines often look the best and thats where I tend to lean with my bikes. Throw them so far into function that the form eventually follows.

Riding, and the bike, has to be a ‘do-it-all’. in the 7 months of ownership I have used the T700 for fast road blasts, greenland wobbles, mild touring, daily commuting and I even managed to race it at the 2019 Bike Shed festival. With all that in mind, I am most happiest loading my camera into a bag, downloading a route on Viewranger and blindly following my dakar-esque UA phone mount.
Ride, stop, shoot, coffee, ride. What more could you ask for?!
Wil currently uses his
Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max for motorcycle navigation and our excellent accessory bar mount for attachment to the latest adventure bikes.
