Dr Alex George

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.... Powered by Devitt Insurance - Specialists in motorbike insurance since 1936Supported by Quad Lock Hosted on Acast.

Hot off the Press - 2x Dakar winner Sam Sunderland has announced that he is attempting to break the WORLD RECORD for the fastest time to circumnavigate the globe on a motorcycle.

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. For more resources on Suicide Prevention check out the CALM care kit here Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We cover a lot of miles in this one, both on the bikes and during a great chat.

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.

If it's outside, then Aldo has probably done it! Following ten years as a sniper in the Royal Marine Commando's Aldo turned his hand to expedition support for television productions. From taking Will Smith into an active Volcano to running safety in South America for Foxy on his Narcos series, there are not many tight spots Aldo hasn't been in. We caught up with Aldo at BMW Motorad UK HQ for a ride on some brand new models and a great chat. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Many of you may know Harvey from his instagram page where he rides around performing random acts of kindness to strangers he meets. Handing out Haribo has become his calling card but his rapid social media growth speaks more to the power of kindness and everyday human interactions than it does motorcycle content. As will many things, the bike is the vehicle to support a greater purpose. We loved catching up with the now unmasked Harvey and chatting about his journey to two wheels and a life of influence.... Although Ben and Charley were slightly upset that he didn't bring them sweets...

Charley and Ben go for a ride with Dougie from McFly. The bassist from the huge British Band is a new biker and big fan of Long Way....doh. Listen in to hear about life in a band and how addiction has had a huge impact on his life to date. We get some great insight into how he has tackled these challenges and what works for him to stay mentally well. It's a fascinating, honest and raw conversation with Dougie on subjects he's not spoken about publicly before.Powered by Devitt Insurance - specialists in motorbike insurance since 1936Supported by Quad Lock Hosted on Acast.
