Secrets to Funding Your Trip and Staying Out Longer

Tom Gould and Lauren Board are each riding 125cc Honda motorcycles on a trip from the UK to Cape Town, South Africa without a definite deadline. Their trip is loosely planned, it is their first major expedition, and they have already faced numerous challenges. When our host, Jim Martin, spoke with them, they were nursing hundreds of insect bites and had just been burglarized for the second time. To make matters worse, the people they thought would help them only scolded them and sent them on their way without food, water, or money, which the thieves had taken as well. Despite these hardships, Tom insists he wouldn’t turn back. He says you’d have to drag him home kicking and screaming.

Discomfort Is the Tax We Pay for an Incredible Journey - Tom Gould and Lauren Board

Specialized safety gear, like Leatt's ADV-specific equipment, is vital for adventure riders tackling diverse terrains and weather conditions. These riders face unique challenges, from rocky trails to long hours in varied climates. As adventure riding grows in popularity, it's crucial to understand the specific safety needs of this community. ADV riders require gear that not only protects them from impacts but also meets the demands of off-road riding. Leatt's deep understanding of these needs enables them to develop tailored safety solutions, ensuring adventurers can explore with confidence and peace of mind. To find out more we talk to Dr. Chris Leatt, founder of Leatt Corporation.
