And Now For Something Completely Different - Graham Field Jun 18, 2020

Show notes

In some cases, in fact in many cases, travel leads to exploration, discovery, experience and generally to more travel. But, in some rare instances travel can actually lead to settling down and finding a new place to call home that stimulates the mind and soul just as travel does. Graham Field has travelled for many years by motorcycle and before that, bicycle and back pack. And in all his travels he was searching for something, but didn’t know what it was until he found it.

In the words of Monty Python, “and now for something completely different”, Graham Field. More motorcycle travel episodes available on Adventure Rider Radio at adventureriderradio.com.

Shawn Thomas - How Chance Leads to Change Jun 04, 2020

Show notes

Shawn Thomas was an experienced motorcycle salesman who found himself in the odd position of losing interest in riding motorcycles. And just as he was getting ready to give up riding, as serendipity would have it, someone walked in to the dealership he was working at and tried to sell him on something. Something that intrigued Shawn. And that chance meeting would lead to Shawn having what many would call one of the most desirable jobs in the motorcycle industry.

Show notes

Setting up your bike’s controls is where Chris Birch begins, and with good reason. Because as you will hear in this episode, even your handlebar position changes the way your bike performs and makes the difference between a great handling bike and one that is a beast to hang on to. Chris Birch walks us through a basic setup that will not only help your ergonomics but also explains why you make the changes and how to tell what is right for you.

Take it to the Limit - Peter Starr May 21, 2020

Show notes

When you listen to Peter Starr speak, you can’t help but feel his positive energy. Peter’s extensive career in the motorcycle industry has spanned about a half a century. Later in life, a health issue led to his conclusion that dealing with aging requires living a purposeful life - and for him that involved motorcycling, which has always been a big part of his life. He feels that a positive mindset is what riders need to help with aging. He recently spent six years traveling to 12 different countries, all of which he’s shared in a coffee table book, filled with stories, photographs and videos on the included DVD.

Doing What Really Matters in Life - Greg and Melanie Turp May 07, 2020

Show notes

Some years ago, Greg and Melanie Turp decided they had too much ‘stuff’ and that they were working too much. Greg had been riding motorcycles most of his life, and being inspired by other travellers, he and Melanie decided to change their life, to do what mattered to them, to travel and make great memories. They sold everything and travelled around America with their RV and motorcycle. They liked it so much they’ve just kept going, riding around the world on their motorcycle.

Chris Birch - Life Long Motorcycle Addict Apr 30, 2020

Show notes

When adventure motorcycles first started to show up on the scene, many top off-road riders were drawn to them, and although they found that they underperformed compared to the bikes they were used to, they worked to invent new skills and techniques to be able to efficiently ride these oversized bikes, so that they could be ride them like it appeared they should be ridden… off-road. Riding instructor, Chris Birch, or you may know him as the KTM 1190 guy, is one of those off-road riders.
