Get ready to embark on an incredible journey with world adventurers Ross and Riff as they recapture their epic motorbike expedition from the UK to Istanbul, Turkey. Buckle up to traverse the Bosphorus river, dividing Europe and Asia, engage in the thrills of off-road escapades and relish the hilarious tale of Ross' encounter with a murky bog. Every mile of their journey is an unconventional saga of exploration, adventure, and laughter.

As we venture further into the conversation, Ross and Riff continue to recount their exhilarating journey across Europe, featuring a memorable encounter with a Belgian girl and her Land Rover, for a documentary, The Last Overland. From awe-inspiring landscapes to encountering formidable challenges and unique experiences, this journey brims with tales that would ignite the wanderlust in anyone. We promise, you'll be captivated by the anecdotes of these daring adventurers.

But there's more to this journey than the fascinating landscapes and thrilling escapades.

Listen as Ross articulates his family's history with motorbikes, his first bike, a CBR, at 17, and his journey to earn his mum's respect for the sport. So, join us as we cruise through the lanes of the Dragon Rally, and Ross' YouTube channel, diving deep into a tale of family ties, passion, and the unanticipated joys of unplanned travel. This is more than a journey; it is a celebration of life on the road.

Nye Davis, The Wandering Nye.  Motorcycling Adventurer, cyclist and owner of multiple crazy dogs.  He is very funny too.  We liked him.

Join us for an exhilarating chat with Nye Davis, better known as the Wandering Nye. Fresh from his thrilling journey down the West Coast of Africa, Nye regales us with tales of his life on the road, beginning from his early introduction to biking at the age of four. We discuss his diverse experiences, from his love of racing and hill climbing to his impressive journey from the UK to Azerbaijan on a Triumph Tiger. Nye also shares how he narrowly escaped disaster during his trip, reminding us that the spirit of adventure always comes with a dash of danger.

The journey continues as Nye takes us on an audio tour of his expedition from the UK to South Africa. This chapter is packed with riveting tales of unexpected events, challenges, and moments of stillness. We explore the essence of being a traveller, the significance of immersing oneself in the moment, and the crucial role of photography in documenting these fleeting experiences. Nye’s narrative transports you to different parts of the world, highlighting the highs and lows of life on the road.

Fasten your seatbelts as we venture into Nye's African journey. His adventures, which range from preparing his bike for the long haul to interacting with the locals and tackling varying road conditions, are nothing short of exciting. He provides an eye-opening account of his encounter with the Nigerian police, and how his love for football became his saviour. Lastly, we discuss the financial aspect of Nye's journey and his future travel plans, including his dream of visiting Russia and his aim to attempt a 24-hour solo bike ride for charity. So sit back, relax, and join us on this incredible ride with the Wandering Nye.

Tom Gould created "I like Motorbikes" back in 2017 as a way to share his thoughts, experiences and occasionally misadventures with motorbikes, providing a narrative that the people can get behind. He has always been passionate about all things mechanical but his love of motorbikes didn't really flourish until aged around 16. Although he didn't actually start riding one until he was 20 in 2013.

Join us for an incredible journey down memory lane as we explore the captivating world of motorbikes and trail riding. In the first part of the episode, I share my childhood obsession with motorbikes, influenced by iconic figures like Barry Sheen and Graham Noyce, and my dad's love for bikes. I reflect on my first bike, touring Europe with my dad, and how my bedroom walls were plastered with pictures of motorbikes. From dreaming of becoming a mechanic to actually designing and building my own bikes, the fascination never faded.

The second part of the episode shifts gears to the thrill of riding. I talk about my own collection of bikes, from the Honda CB125S, which I converted into a schoolboy scrambler and raced at 12 years old, to the 2021 Honda CRF 300 Rally that I recently upgraded with rally raid suspension. Additionally, I share my experiences with the Beta Evo 300 two-stroke, which I use for trials riding. Lastly, I extend an invitation to listeners to join me in creating a film about the bikes and the podcast, and reveal my plans for a trail riding weekend in the Peak District. Buckle up and ride along as we explore this exciting world together.

"It was a dream, we're now trying to make it reality. 

Carl & Craig Searles, we're two brothers that grew up motorbike mad.

We've always wanted to compete in the worlds toughest motorsport competition, the Dakar Rally. 

Our aim is to be on the start line for 2025, and to be the first pair of brothers from the UK to finish it!

We're using this website to sell merchandise and raise the money to get us there.

So welcome and thank you for joining us on our journey to Saudi."
