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."

Bridget is aiming to set the record for the youngest woman to travel around the world by motorcycle.

"Part of the reason I'm traveling around the world is to show that the motorcycle demographic is changing. I represent the new generation of riders. Young women who enjoy motorcycling are a growing force; they are people who want to be more present, enveloped in the world, not encapsulated in the bubble of a car."
