BMW Motorad and BMW kindly hosted us on their stand at Goodwood this year which gave us the opportunity to sit down with professional bike racer Alec Briggs and professional bike crasher, Stuntwoman, Laura Vörtler. Loved chatting all things two wheels, stunts, racing, mindfulness, horses and everything in-between. We swapped Charley out this week for Partridge. For insurance purposes we can't all be in the same room together....

We brought one of the most disruptive mental health charity CEO's onto the show to chat about bikes and suicide. Because it's important and our community can help change the narrative. This is an uplifting and inspiring chat and we hope you find it not just entertaining but genuinely useful. Be kind and check in with a mate. Listening is a lifesaver.

Two of our greatest living motorcycle adventurers come together for this awesome episode (and Ben). Charley and Noraly aka Itchy Boots are two of the most recognised bikers on the planet so it was great to all meet up and go for a ride together! Whilst on her UK Book tour, we sat down the the afternoon to chat about her life on and off the road. With some rarely heard perspective from behind the camera it was great to get some real insight into the realities of being a travelling content creator with all the ups and downs. This really is a not to be missed episode with the biggest stars in adventure riding! (And Ben....) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
