Could This Be The Future Of Motorbikes? - CEO of Avenrà | JUSTRIDE Ep.8

🚁 £1.2 MILLION for a helicopter gearbox?! What does it really take to keep an air ambulance saving lives? In this episode of the JUSTRIDE Podcast, we're joined by Ben Sisson, Corporate Relationship Manager at the Great North Air Ambulance Service (GNAAS), for an inspiring conversation about the incredible people, life-saving missions and extraordinary challenges behind this vital charity. From the staggering costs of maintaining emergency helicopters to the remarkable stories of those given a second chance at life, Ben shares what it takes to deliver critical care across the North of England and the Isle of Man. 🏍️ We also explore the story of motorcycle crash survivor Dean Abbott, who was rescued by GNAAS following a serious accident in the Lake District, and why rapid emergency response can make all the difference for motorcyclists. JUSTRIDE co-founder Andrew Richardson reflects on his history working alongside GNAAS on motorcycle safety initiatives dating back to 2006, and how those experiences helped shape the thinking behind JUSTRIDE Assist. 💚 HELP KEEP GNAAS FLYING GNAAS is raising £2.5 million through its Operation SOS campaign to help secure a third helicopter and protect the future of its life-saving service. At JUSTRIDE, we're proud to support GNAAS by donating 5% of all merchandise profits to the charity. ❤️ Support Operation SOS: https://www.greatnorthairambulance.co.uk/fleet/ 🏍️ Read our latest blog and watch Dean Abbott's survival story: https://justride-app.com/justride-supporting-gnaas-air-ambulance/ 🛍️ Support GNAAS through JUSTRIDE merchandise: https://justride-app.com/shop/ Every second counts.

What happens when someone who once struggled with severe anxiety decides to get on a motorcycle and just keep going? In this episode of the JUSTRIDE Podcast, we're joined by motorcycle traveller, reviewer and content creator Jade Rides. Jade has ridden motorcycles across 22 countries, including an epic solo journey through 19 countries to Georgia and back. But, as we discover, the reason that adventure started wasn't quite what you'd expect… “It was completely out of spite.” 😂 We talk about how motorcycling helped Jade deal with anxiety and build confidence, travelling alone across Europe, tackling the Stella Alpina, riding the Wild Atlantic Way and Pyrenees, and why sometimes the best approach to motorcycle travel is to stop overplanning and just go. Jade also tells us the incredible story of finding a tiny puppy at the side of the road in Kosovo, putting her in a tank bag and eventually bringing not one — but TWO — rescue dogs home. We also get into: 🏍️ Going from a Suzuki VanVan to riding across 22 countries 🌍 Solo motorcycle travel and overcoming anxiety 🐶 Rescuing Lucky and Max while travelling 🏁 Riding the Norton Manx R on track 🇮🇸 Testing the new Norton Atlas in Iceland 🎥 The reality of becoming a motorcycle content creator 💛 Jade and Street Twin Kim's work with Endo Riders 🇳🇵 Plans for a future women's motorcycle trip to Nepal ⚡ The future of motorcycling, electric bikes and emerging manufacturers ⛺ Why Jade thinks some motorcycle-specific camping gear is… “crap” It's funny, open and at times incredibly personal and one of those conversations that reminds you just how much motorcycling can change someone's life. A massive thank you to Jade for joining us.

Danny & Shelley from @Intrusiveriders are back on the JUSTRIDE Podcast — but this time, they made the trip down from Scotland to join us in person.

CFMOTO has quickly become one of the most talked-about motorcycle brands in the UK but what’s really behind that growth?

Just three years ago, Anna Maria Gilbert — better known as Footpegs — had never ridden a motorcycle. Eight months after getting into riding she was already discovering the world of off-road, and now she's preparing for her biggest challenge yet: a multi-day rally raid across Morocco.
