A crowd of ABR Festival goers packed out the Harley-Davidson Campfire Tent to listen to Ryan F9 and the lads discuss: what's all the fuss about adventure bikes and adventure biking?
During the chat we discover why Ryan F9's F 800 GS motorbike gets so much abuse, how riding in Canada and Europe compares, and what did James and Ryan think of the Ducati Desert X when they rode it on the ABR Festival's AX41 Adventure Trail.
We also find out how Bryn got so buff, why Ryan uses a flip-phone from the '90s, and what James thinks Suzuki should have called the GSX-S1000 GT to stop people mistaking it for a printer.
Ryan F9 also gives a behind the scenes insight into the making of FortNine motorcycle videos, and all three of the lads discuss why adventure bikes like the BMW R 1250 GS, Ducati Multistrada V4, and Honda Africa Twin can't help but inspire a sense of wanderlust.
This live episode of the ABR Garage, the podcast from Adventure Bike Rider, was filmed in the magnificent grounds of the Ragley Hall Estate in Warwickshire.

Richard Hammond may be best known for driving some of the world's fastest and most exotic cars on Top Gear and The Grand Tour, but when he appeared live on stage at the ABR Festival, he made a confession that put a smile on the face of every biker watching. "Truth be told, I'm bikes before cars." Yes, one of the world's most famous car guys has a passion for motorcycles that runs even deeper than his love of anything on four wheels. And, as we discovered during our conversation, Richard Hammond isn't just someone who enjoys the occasional Sunday ride. He's a lifelong biker with a genuine passion for exploring the world on two wheels. Speaking to me in front of thousands of motorcycle enthusiasts, Richard talked candidly about the bike that started his love affair with motorcycling, his adventures around the world, and an unforgettable journey with his brother to ride the highest road on Earth. He also revealed how a spot of outdoor ironing turned him into an unwitting tourist attraction. Throughout our conversation, the Top Gear and Grand Tour presenter was funny, self-deprecating, and refreshingly honest about what riding motorcycles means to him. And it was clear he felt right at home surrounded by people who shared his passion for bikes and adventure. It was a hugely entertaining conversation with a man who clearly knows his motorcycles and loves riding them. So make a brew, settle into a comfy chair, and enjoy the full conversation as Richard Hammond reveals the stories behind his motorcycle adventures, his favourite riding experiences, and why two wheels will always come before four.
