The Trail and Adventure Motorbike Podcast is created by Clive Barber and Noel Thom. They are not inspirational, and they will not provide motivation to get you off your butt and travel the world. They are quite a good laugh though, like a couple of old blokes you overhear in the pub, and wish you were sat at their table. Except you don’t need to because they record their conversations. Weird. Yeah, probably. The Trail and Adventure Motorbike Podcast aims to be informative, interesting, and fun. With a mix of ‘celebrity’ and ‘citizen’ storytellers, instructional episodes, beginners guides the podcast is a great way to while away the hours when you can’t be out on your bike.

Charley Boorman is a British television presenter, travel writer, and actor.

"Nick and Beth, a young British couple, embarked on the journey of a lifetime; a motorcycle expedition from Texas to Ushuaia, Argentina. However, their adventure took a harrowing turn in Belize:
It's almost 1am and Beth and Nick are camped in an established campground in Belize when five men armed with guns and machetes cut their way into the tent claiming to be police. After being pulled outside, the pair were then bound with ropes and forced to surrender all their possessions: Phones, GPS devices, Cameras, Go Pros, Helmet Comms, Tools, $700 in cash and memory cards filled with cherished trip photographs. This process involved an hour of Beth and Nick watching while the thieves broke into / cut open all their luggage, tipping all of their belongings onto the floor in pouring rain. Within the hour Beth and Nick’s losses amounted to almost 7000 GBP / 8800 USD.
Sadly it gets worse. After finding some spent ammunition kept as a souvenir from the USA, the thieves believed Beth and Nick were armed. Repeated explanations about the spent brass were in vain and Nick endured physical assault, being repeatedly kicked in the face with his hands tied behind his back, he was hit in the back of the head with a hunting rifle and suffered a bad concussion. Beth endured a terrifying sexual assault. Nick described to me the terror they felt while thieves put a machete to each of their throats and pointed a gun at their kneecaps, repeatedly counting down to zero in an attempt to make them reveal the location of the non-existent guns. Beth and Nick were eventually left, albeit with nothing of value but their motorcycles (which the thieves were unable to operate) face down in the mud with the hands tied. They remained here for several hours before being freed.
The police were then called, who visited the scene of the crime at 4am for just 30 minutes before leaving without offering the couple any shelter, form of communication, or peace of mind. Despite the trauma and lack of support from local authorities, Nick and Beth displayed remarkable resilience. They decided to leave the campsite immediately for their own safety, packing their soaked belongings into what luggage was still useable, they rode through the night seeking refuge in a gas station 40km away until the morning.

Established in 2022, the Lightweight Adventure Festival celebrates travel and trail riding in all lightweight forms. Back then, it was a rustic, authentic and stripped back experience, aiming was to bring 30 lightweight adventurers together. It was far more successful than anticipated and bought a community together!
Now, the festival is aimed at travellers, adventurers and all those interested in the Lightweight Adventure scene. This is not a luxury boutique festival by any means. Instead, it peels back those layers of luxury just a little and gets back to basics. Now we're adventuring!

Kinga was born in 1981 in what was then Communist Poland, just before the start of Martial law. Her home town is Suwalki, located in the North-East region famous for its grand, serene lakes.
After finishing her Engineering degree in Poland she immigrated to Australia. After a couple of years of living in the hustle and bustle of Sydney, working odd jobs, she finally found a job in the construction industry! Australia started to feel like home. A few years after that, she started thinking that I need to get out of the city more and, if I really wanted to explore this amazing country, I needed to be able to ride on dirt – so I purchased a BMW F800GS and I was an instant convert!
Kinga has now been travelling the world for 7 years, we talk to her whilst she is taking a break at home in Australia, before restarting her travels in South America...

"A helmet can be a costly purchase, and the thought of replacing it before it’s absolutely necessary often influences our outlook towards risk.
Our decision-making can also be fuelled if we’ve never had to call on our helmet to save us from serious injury.
If there’s little or no visible signs of damage, we’ve now got the perfect storm and it becomes easy to convince ourselves it’ll be okay.
Out of sight, out of mind.
When our founder accidentally dropped a new motorcycle helmet, he wanted to know if it would continue to perform as intended, or if he needed to retire the helmet and purchase a replacement. Is it still safe to use?
The thought of shelling out for a replacement wasn’t appealing.
Friends provided anecdotal evidence and further words of reassurance, all suggesting the helmet would be okay to continue to use:
All very convincing … so the helmet continued to be used for another few months.
But our man was far from convinced, and the doubt was creeping in when he was out on his bike.
He took the helmet to his local retailer, and asked the OEM-trained technician to carry out an inspection.
The retailer provided a thorough visual inspection and declared It should be fine
As thorough as this visual inspection appeared to be, the result wasn’t convincing.
What would happen if a different technician were to carry out another visual inspection on the same helmet?
Would it still be the same result?
He left the retailer’s premises with doubts and still lacked peace of mind. Is my helmet still safe to use?
So, we fixed it for you.
We’ve created a service that’s both affordable and convenient. And with an efficient 4-5 working days turnaround we don’t tie your helmet up at our lab for weeks on end.
What About The Dropped Helmet?
Safety-critical damage was identified during our test – and a new helmet was purchased.
Does That Mean A Dropped Helmet Is Definitely Compromised?
Absolutely not! Our man was just unlucky.
Since we started providing our service in July 2021, we’ve tested thousands of customer helmets and the pass rate is currently 75%."

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

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.

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.

"Adventure Country Tracks e.V. is a registered organization whose mission is to establish and maintain off-road routes and tracks in European countries for so-called adventure motorcycles / dual purpose bikes.
By providing information, advocacy and promoting responsible motorcycle travel, ACT seeks to preserve motorcycling on unpaved roads in the hinterland for generations to come and also to promote tourism in rural areas. Adventure Country Tracks works with enthusiastic partners in some countries of Europe, with tourism authorities, land administrations, forest services, tourist boards, tour operators, etc. to provide routes and remote roads for motorcycling.
By investing in communication and hopefully supporting local small businesses, guesthouses, and local resources, ACT is able to provide GPS tracks and advice, create photo and video archives of the routes, and educate the motorcycle community on the routes.
Our desire is to provide a detailed documentation of the routes, areas and backgrounds and to motivate the traveler to follow these routes. Epic rides that you can self-guide, taken at your speed, with your friends just however you like to travel. Trails that take you away from population into empty valleys, up windswept hills and mountains, that place you in the nature, and roads – empty sinuous country roads – that make the breaks between the trails every bit as fascinating."

Dylan has no choice but to take to the sea, building a raft powered by his motorcycle engine in the hope of reaching Colombia's road network 700km away. He must brave strong ocean currents and storm batterings in his journey from Central to South America.

Brett Anderson was living a healthy and active life with his wife and dog in Hot Springs, Virginia. He had worked as a pilot for United Airlines for 26 years out of Washington D.C. and was a senior Captain flying International routes to Europe and South America. In the late summer of 2021 he noticed that he was having excessive shortness of breath with simple exertions, such as walking up a slight hill, something very unusual for him as he regularly ran 3-4 miles a day, rode motorcycles off-road, and lifted weights. As this continued and got worse Brett went to his doctor who took a chest x-ray and immediately sent him to the local emergency room, where they admitted him to the hospital for 4 days. He was diagnosed with Chronic Eosinophilic Pneumonia, a type of Autoimmune Lung disease. After being released and started on a treatment regimen, he got better for a while, but then stopped improving after a few months. He could not get back to running and other cardio activities without extreme shortness of breath.
Concerned about the long-term effects, Brett went to one of the top pulmonology clinics in the world, the Mayo Clinic, in Rochester MN, where he was eventually diagnosed with Pulmonary Fibrosis as a result of the Eosinophilic Pneumonia.
Knowing that PF is a terminal lung disease, but not knowing if he had one year or many left, Brett decided to not only fulfill some dreams of his own by riding his motorcycle in different areas around the world, but to use his journeys to inspire others and to show that a bad medical diagnosis does not mean you have to stop living your life. Because the FAA has decided that he cannot keep flying with this disease, his career is currently on hold, but he is working with his doctors to convince the FAA that he is safe to keep flying at his current disease level. In the meantime, Brett decided to raise money for Pulmonary Fibrosis Awareness and research through a fundraiser for the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation.

Simon & Lisa Thomas are considered by many to be the world’s foremost Adventure Motorcyclists, with more ‘real-world’ experience than anyone on the road today! They are also leading authors, photographers, motivators, public speakers and world renowned travellers. The pair are on the Committee of Advisors for the Ted Simon Foundation and regulary contribute to many of the worlds leading adventure publications.
They are currently enjoying a COVID induced layover in the UK whilst planning to resume their travels.
Their loss is our gain however as they have started a photography school called Living Lens Photography. It's worth signing up for the stories alone we reckon...

Everyone has heard of Bruce 'Teapotone' Smart right? You've watched his films, listened to his podcast Teapotone Bru Time?
Well if you haven't you should. We are delighted to talk to Bruce about all things podcasting, riding around the world on a sportsbike, electic bikes and everything inbetween.
We think Bruce enjoyed answering questions, rather than asking them, we certainly enjoyed his company.
Thanks for listening.

Rohith Ashok is the Toll Free Traveller, one of the nicest people you will ever meet, and pretty good with a video camera too.
He joined us in-person for the weekend, whilst on an adventure around the UK. We took him for fish and chips and a full English, as well as a gentle ride around the Lake District.
He fills us in on biking in India, and how he took up full time adventure motorcycling, after giving up life as a corporate lawyer on Mumbai. He also tells us why we should all head over to India to ride the Great Indian Trail (GRIT).
Check out his films on YouTube, and the Great Indian Trail on any good Internet access point. See you in India...

Want to know definitively which is the best trail and adventure bike for the Trans Euro Trail (TET)? Then you have come to the right place, for a complete mix of opinions.
Greg Villalobos has made another lovely holiday video from our trip to Spain earlier this year. It's available on Adventure Spec's YouTube channel.
https://youtu.be/MoziGlQBno0
It should probably have more of me in it, but Adam makes up for it with his in helmet hilarity/weirdness.
It is currently called "Lightweight adventure riding & wild camping in the Spainish mountains". Catchy.
We have a massive argument about which was the best bike on the trip (except Adam's GS310, because Adam couldn't make it, and lets face it the GS310 is a rare choice.)
We all agree it is my bike (or one of the others) then I edit out everything I don't agree with, and add some extra content once everybody else has gone. A clear winner then. Or maybe not...

We spotted an amazing looking bike venue in Wales, and wanted to know more. Little did we know it was the brain-child of the legend that is Steph Jeavons!
Steph joins us to talk about women riders, the daily life of a world moto traveller, her new venue for Moto Junkies, and the usual sprockets and bollocks. Why didn't we think of that for a name!!!
You should have a listen and then get yourself booked in, it sounds great!

Tim is a proper OG adventure rider, but we didn't call it that back then. A serial traveller, he rode to Bulgaria in the 90s, and got into all kind of scrapes.
More recently he rode the ACT in Portugal. He rides a big bike, but he's alright with us.

Chris Bone talks us through his amazing 5 month trip from Yorkshire to the southern most tip of south Africa, crossing 25 countries. Whilst not swimming with crocodiles, nor meeting the Christmas vacationing gorillas, nonetheless Chris tells some great stories like the ones where he ignored some machete wielding 'amateur bandits' and ran away from a drunken immigration official. We get to the bottom of daily life on the road in Africa and ponder the continuing existence of old overland motorbikes.

In this episode we welcome, or I should say I welcome, as poor Noel is sick, Tim Cooper of 'UKJeeper' fame. Tim has recently ridden 11,000 miles in 6 weeks across the Trans America Trail. Amongst the many top TAT tips Tim tells us (t'alliteration!) how he flew with his bike to Canada and back for not much more money than the price I was recently quoted to get my bike shipped from Manchester to southern Spain! I hope you enjoy it, if you did, please let us have any feedback on our Facebook page. Cheers.

In this long awaited 6th episode we are trialing our new recording equipment, which will hopefully banish bad sound quality for ever. Noel has been scouting new TET trails in northern Spain whilst being chased by wild boars. We visit the bike show, and in our imaginations, come away with a Honda CRF250L, a KTM 690 Adventure, the new Norton Atlas Scrambler and a Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE. We ponder whether AJP have made the best TET bike ever (AJP PR7 Adventure), discuss emotional attachments to inanimate objects and our differing views on, well, everything, but especially safety gear.

We are joined by Steve Stout and Lucy Dunn. Steve was the driving force behind the re-building of the Old Coach Road in north Cumbria. From the TAT to the TET, Steve has traveled and worked all over the world and tells us some great tales from his time in places like Antarctica, and why he is opposed to HEP schemes in Albania. The sound quality is a bit rubbish, sorry, we need to improve our microphone technique! But Steve tells a very informative and instructional story of how he managed and funded the work on the Old Coach Road. If you contributed, it's a fine way of finding out where your money went.

Welcome to our second podcast. We recorded this one on location at a Lake District log cabin, near a river. Sadly the sound of the river was terrible, so we had to apply some noise reduction, which has distorted the sound somewhat. We hope you don't find it too distracting. We are new to this, and are not professionals, so bear with us, we will get better!
