Live on a bike for 20-days straight and everything about riding becomes more instinctive. Selecting gloves and jackets to suit the day and altitude, gearing up inside our tents and riding off into the unknown, we are as in tune with the elements as we are with the performance of our engines and the feel […]
For the past 5-days we have been both geographically and physically high on altitude. In an effort to acclimatise, we scaled the side of a Volcano to 5500m just outside Sand Pedro in Chile. Small sections of snow made the ascent even more demanding, as the slightest struggle on the bikes would leave us gasping […]
Our South American adventure has begun in the city of Santiago, Chile. 5-days in and we’ve pushed deep into the Atacama desert. The nights are bitterly cold and the days fluctuate between hot and chilly as we ascend and descend the epic foothills of the Andes. We’ve managed to acquire some of the Dakar routes […]
The epic saga continues as we prepare a new fleet of KTM Enduro bikes for our next big production: MOTONOMAD III – bound for South America! Featuring Chris Hollis, Mark Portbury and Adam Riemann. Watch the full film: Motonomad III – Riders of the Andes
I’ve never been one to talk something up until it’s happened or happening, but in the world of media, I often have to blow my own trumpet about something which does not yet exist. For me, it’s a necessary evil I’ve had to accept in order to obtain the funding or support needed to fulfil aspirations beyond my means. […]
I’ve lost count of how many, but if I look back at all the different bikes I’ve ridden and raced around the world, nearly all of them have been under 500cc. And, most of those rides have been pretty adventurous in one way or another. So, I guess you could say I’ve been an “Adventure Rider” […]
I remember an old saying along the lines of “bite off as much as you can then chew like fu…” Yep, I’ve done exactly that to try and start a new life in the country. I didn’t realise 6-months ago that I wanted to become a farmer, but whether I like it or not I […]
When making a moto film, you really don’t have time to mess around with a dirt bike. There’s so much going on with capturing the right shot that it makes the act of riding exactly that … an act! No time to moto, test or tinker – you simply need the bike to perform faultlessly when it is […]
I guess we all deal with grief and change in our own way. Since my Dad passed away last month, I’ve been head down arse up for every waking hour, every day. I’ve gone into machine mode, cancelling out all distractions, focusing only on what I need to achieve and allocating all my resources and energy to […]
Today Australia’s Enduro racing community celebrate the closing of two professional careers as Chris Hollis and Glenn Kearney sign off in style at the 2016 Australian 4-day Enduro Championship in Victoria. For any aspiring racer, Hollis and GK represent true professionalism in a sport which has fast grown from a gathering of working-class riders in utes and […]
Today we farewell a great man, Bernie Riemann, who lost a 3-year battle with Cancer last week. Four years ago, Bernie – a complete novice to motorcycling – took on a 4500km adventure through the Himalayas with his son, Adam – a professional rider. The duo spent a month travelling on 150cc Hero trail bikes […]
