Freelance stories featuring motorcycles have been published worldwide but started with a biography of Saskatoon’s J.B. Nicholson in the U.K.’s The Classic Motorcycle magazine in 1996.

New vehicle test drives were routinely contributed to the Calgary Herald’s Driving section until 2004, when a motorcycle accident left him a paraplegic. Now, he pens the Reader Reviews and Owner Reviews for Driving.ca, stories where ordinary folks share their thoughts and impressions of new, or new-to-them vehicles. After writing about J.B. (Bernie) Nicholson in 1996, in 2009 Greg wrote the book Prairie Dust, Motorcycles and a Typewriter about Nicholson Bros.
