Even a brief summary of Royal Enfield's history reveals a strong spirit of exploration, of riders who didn't think twice before trusting their Royal Enfields to take them where a few, if any, had ventured before. Now, in our 120th year, these adventurers have inspired us to ask… where to next? The answer: all the way to the South Pole! In this #adventurediaries episode, Gordon May speaks with the two riders heading 90° South and the leader of their support team. They are: Santhosh Vijay Kumar - Based in Royal Enfield's India Technical Centre, Chennai, Santhosh is a highly experienced rider who heads Royal Enfield's Rides and Communities activities. Dean Coxson - A classic motorcycle enthusiast and restorer, Dean is a senior development engineer based at Royal Enfield's UK Technical Centre, Bruntingthorpe. Emil Grimsson - Hailing from Iceland, Emil has 14 years of expedition experience. He works for Arctic Trucks, Royal Enfield's support and logistics partner on the 90° South expedition.

In today's programme he talks to the man who planned the conference, Adrian Tatum about the event's unique inside-outside format. We talk to Kier about their two kilometre demonstration area with a range of innovative products from around the world that they are introducing onto England's roads. Pole Products talk about their major crash demonstrations taking place on both days and WJ about their brand new products being shown and why safety is key to everything they do.

You may not have heard him before, but you'll probably have seen him. The Stig from Top Gear. Well one of those drivers from the Clarkson/May/Hammond era of the programme joins us on Talking Transport today as Ben Collins discusses driverless cars at a VENTURER open day. In a wide ranging interview he talks about why a racing driver would want to get involved in technology that takes the driving out of moving in a car, explaining that a lot of the technology from motor racing is extremely relevant to autonomous technology. He also says why he is reluctant to support Level Three autonomy and that car manufacturers should be aiming straight for Level Four and also muses on what his former colleagues who're now presenters of the Grand Tour make of the innovation. We also mark your card for next week's Traffex Seeing is Believing with Conference Director Adrian Tatum telling us about the event that is bigger and better (and warmer) than ever before. He describes what we'll see on the outdoor test track, some of the exhibits and also they high-profile speakers that will lead the debate at the two day event.
