Ride Faster With Total Confidence

Get the Top 10 Tips

I’ve spent my life chasing the edge of grip, from elbow-rubbing battles in national championships to taking race victories at Donington Park and tearing up flat-track ovals. As a motorcycle journalist, TV presenter for Bike World, and creator of my own YouTube channel, Lara Small, I spend my time testing the world’s best bikes and sharing what makes them tick. Speed and confidence aren’t down to luck; they come from mastering the fundamentals. If you’re ready to get the absolute most out of your machine and ride faster with total confidence on your next track day, you’re in the right place.

About Lara

Over eight years of competitive road racing, I’ve raced across top-tier national classes—taking multiple first-place victories and podium finishes with the Krämer BSB Factory team in national club championships. My track experience spans running a Ducati 1198 in GP1 Endurance, race wins at Donington Park in the wet, and earning podiums on a Suzuki SRAD and Yamaha R6 for the Army Motorcycle Road Racing Team.

Off the track, I bring that track-tested insight to screens and print as a TV presenter for Bike World, creator on my YouTube channel Lara Small, and published feature writer for Motorcycle Sport & Leisure and Fast Bikes, testing everything from 200bhp superbikes to lightweight rally builds.

My passion for two wheels started at 15 on two-strokes, evolving through university scootering, riding across Vietnam on a C90, and thousands of miles touring Europe before taking to the grid.

Your tyres are your only point of contact with the tarmac, and cold rubber is the fastest route to an unexpected slide. Always dedicate your first few laps to progressively building heat into your tyres, and into your own body and mind, before you start pushing.
