RIP Mat Durrans
I only came across him as a motorcycling journalist a few years ago (ironic considering his CV with British magazines in the 90’s and early 00’s) after his move to South Africa, whereupon he fronted the Bike Show which was doing increasingly well on YouTube during the lockdown I understand. Either way, his style very much struck a chord with me personally, as did his love of slightly eccentric bikes (not least KTM’s!)…
Sadly Mat lost his battle with a Brain Tumour on 1st June. Feels all the more poignant to be typing this as someone who was undergoing their own battle with cancer at the same time!
