He rode competitive Trials for over 30 years, and he and his wife ride every weekend—and sometimes more on every type of off-road machine they can lay their hands on. He now tells us of his recent experiences on the Kawasaki KX250X—a cross country dirt bike that seems to work well.      The guest segment of Motos and Friends is brought to you by the faster and most technologically advanced, 2023 Suzuki Hayabusa—one of the most iconic sportbikes ever.

Born in England and currently residing in Charlotte, NC, Neale has made a career in motorcycle adventure and journalism that has enabled him to travel to over 80 countries, 50 of them on a motorcycle. Neale was co-host of the popular show Trippin on Two Wheels, and he also produced and hosted his show called “Neale Bayly Rides,” both featured on the now defunct Speed Channel. On Nealy Bayly, Rides turned an unlikely group of riders from off-road novices to full-fledged Adventure riders as they rode to the Hogar Belen orphanage in Peru. Neale first learned of the orphanage while riding through Peru in 1995, when he met Father Giovanni, its founder; Neale went on to establish Wellspring International Outreach to raise money for the orphanage's children.   FOLLOW HOST ALLAN KARL WORLDRIDER AROUND THE WORLD • SUBSCRIBE TO WORLDRIDER.tv  http://bit.ly/wrytcs1 • INSTAGRAM: http://instagram.com/worldrider  • BLOG: http://worldrider.com/blog  • FACEBOOK: http://facebook.com/worldrider.pro  • GET MY COFFEE TABLE BOOK: https://amzn.to/2U5bPbd • GET MY DIGITAL eBOOKS: https://apple.co/3p2tkGq  • WATCH JOURNEYS WEBCAST REPLAYS: http://journeyswebcast.com • REGISTER FOR NOTIFICATIONS OF UPCOMING JOURNEYS WEBCAST LIVESTREAMS: https://www.worldrider.com/join-the-journeys-webcast-livestream/ • LISTEN TO THE WORLDRIDER PODCAST ON Apple Music: https://apple.co/3umK1Q9   Watch past episodes of the Journeys Webcast. http://journeyswebcast.com   Highlighted Journeys Webcast Episodes: Platinum Recording Star Al Stewart on the Journeys Webcast https://youtu.be/xwpPjx_uPeA Legendary session and touring musician Phil Palmer on the Journeys Webcast  —https://youtu.be/z_Dm9QCXn10 Emmy-award-winning hosts Ashley Colburn—https://youtu.be/fLxugCCRH48 and Rudy Maxa—https://youtu.be/fLxugCCRH48 on the Journeys Webcast.   Please subscribe to the WorldRider YouTube channel. http://bit.ly/wrytcs1 Watch Allan Karl WorldRider spin out of control on the Epley Omniax Vertigo chair. https://youtu.be/NcNmjPoLY8U FORKS Book Updates Check out the new digital edition of FORKS. https://apple.co/3p2tkGq%20 Get Hardcover and softcover editions of FORKS: A Quest for Culture, Cuisine, and Connection: https://amzn.to/3cgrsWQ   Allan Karl WorldRider Writings On Medium Read 13 Rules To Live By From A Life On The Road by Allan Karl on Medium (please give him fifty claps) https://worldrider.medium.com/13-rules-to-live-by-from-a-life-on-the-road-46c4248c7208

They have a reputation never to follow or believe their own advice. However, they love to share stories, inspiration, and lessons from their ten-year-long motorcycle journey. They left South Africa 10 years ago on what was supposed to be a well-planned six-month trip to Europe through Africa. However, motorcycle travel seduced them, and they soon were addicted to life on the road. They had no choice but to continue. Throwing caution to the wind, they sold the family pets and their mom and hit the road. Since then, they've been motorcycling on a semi-permanent basis to this day. They are currently tightly locked down in Sucre, Bolivia, with their two DR650s wondering just when they can make a move. ​​​​​​​ No matter what, they say, “If the bones, wealth, and health last, we can continue motorbiking and explore more of this wonderful rock we live on.” ​​​​​​​ Our Conversation Touched On Some of These Topics & More: How A Six-Month Journey Lasted Ten Years? | And it continues.

Allan Karl shares his story about what inspired him to pursue his dream and accomplish something no man has ever done. In Allan's words: “I will circumnavigate the globe alone from top to bottom, and all the way around.”For Allan, he chose to do this journey on his motorcycle, a single cylinder BMW F650GS Dakar. With a few important modifications to his bike and a packing list that grew shorter as he realized what he really needed, he set off on July 4, 2005 and began the journey of his life that would span two years and cover 62,000 miles through more than 50 countries and all 7 continents including the Arctic Ocean and Circle.Allan Karl was feeling something was not right about his current career path years ago. Then came 9/11, and that confirmed that he did not want to spend the rest of his adult life confined to an office space, doing something he did not have a passion for, just to make a lot of money. Instead he followed his passion for adventure travel, photography and connecting with people. And then when he read Neil Peart's book, “Ghost Rider: Travels on the Healing Road”, that was it, he was ready to pack up and really go. So, he sold everything he owned, bought a motorcycle and started his journey. Three years. Five continents. A broken leg in Bolivia. An uncomfortable encounter with guerilla militia in the jungles of Colombia, and much more. Back in the states, he wrote a book about it called, “Forks:A Quest for Culture, Cuisine, and Connection”. And one thing you will hear, Allan is not done traveling. Still a lot to see. And now his career revolves around his passion for travel (as well as, cooking, photography and motivational speaking too). Beyond this, he has a deep passion for connecting with new people, from different cultures. He often uses a mantra , “Stay curious”. We caught up Allan, homebound for the first time in a while.

Between 1440 and 1450, Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press. But, history shows that printing has been around long before Gutenberg's invention. As early as 220, the Chinese were block printing, putting ink on wooden blocks and pressing them on cloth and then hundreds of years later, on paper. Before the press was invented, Europeans either painstakingly copied written word by hand or used a method similar to the Chinese block printing called Xylography. Both were laborious and time consuming, and because of this, book choices were limited and costly. But, it was Gutenberg who facilitated books being mass produced throughout Europe at a fraction of the cost.  So, it's with thanks to Gutenberg that we have so many books available to us to learn or to immerse ourselves in for pleasure. Authors can take us on adventures, to the places they have been, describing the sights, sounds and smells in such vivid detail that we feel we are there, experiencing it for ourselves. We also read inspirational books that teach us to appreciate life, to feel good and get the most out of it we can. And books that teach us about things, show us how-to or teach us some much needed skills. For going on to 2000 years, humans have been reading the written word. We are so fortunate to have books easily available to us, to keep a book on the shelf to read over and over again or to refer to when we need to know something. There's something special about holding a book in your hand and turning the page. Or, the next best thing, for those of us limited in space, or travelling, or just trying to keep costs down, are downloadable eBooks. Or if you are tight for time, you can listen to someone read a book on CD or download it to hear it.  And, of course, since motorcycles are our passion and yours, we have been lucky to have some fantastic authors on our show and have compiled a list of some of these authors. But, there are many, many authors out there who we haven't had on the show, who have written valuable, informative or just plain entertaining books. Peruse your local book store, or check out some authors websites. Pick a book, or two, and put up your feet and take a trip to South America, India, Africa, Europe or wherever your heart desires, plan a motorcycle adventure, or learn a thing or two about riding or repairs.
