ADV-X in Canada turned out to be far more than just another riding event. By the end of the first day, faces were caked in dust, grins were everywhere, and the sense of camaraderie was undeniable. From trail-side fixes and overnight repairs to long mountain days, it was passion in motion—riders looking out for each other and a crew ensuring no one was left behind. Combine a world-class terrain with smart logistics that kept everything seamless, a spirit of fun, and you have an event that showcased the very best of adventure motorcycling in Canada. In this episode, you'll learn how the framework came together from Ryan Austin, instructor and owner of Enduro Park Canada in British Columbia—and hear from riders who lived those moments on the trail.

Trechos do livro “What Makes You Not a Buddhist”, de Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse.Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche ou Thubten Chökyi Gyamtso, é um grande mestre da linhagem Nyingma do budismo tibetano, cineasta e escritor.Nascido em 1961, em Khenpajong (leste do Butão), é o filho mais velho de Thinley Norbu.Aos sete anos, foi reconhecido por Sua Santidade Sakya Trizin como a principal encarnação de Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Chökyi Lodrö, o herdeiro espiritual de uma das mais influentes e admiradas encarnações de Manjushri (o Buda da Sabedoria).Até a idade de doze anos, Dzongsar estudou no Mosteiro do Palácio do Rei de Sikkim no nordeste da Índia, onde estudou com vários mestres contemporâneos influentes como Dudjom Rinpoche, Dalai Lama e Dilgo Khyentse que considera ser seu principal mestre. Ainda adolescente, Dzongsar construiu um pequeno centro de retiro em Ghezing em Sikkim e logo começou a viajar e ensinar pelo mundo.Em 1989, Dzongsar fundou a Siddhartha's Intent, uma associação budista internacional de centros sem fins lucrativos, a maioria das quais são sociedades e instituições de caridade, com a intenção principal de preservar os ensinamentos budistas, bem como aumentar a conscientização e a compreensão dos muitos aspectos do ensinamento budista além dos limites das culturas e tradições.Como cineasta, Dzongsar estudou com o italiano Bernardo Bertolucci; e seus dois filmes principais são “A Copa” (1999) e “Traveller e Magicians” (2003).Dzongsar Rinpoche é famoso pela liberdade descontraída com que se move entre culturas e povos e por sua dedicação incansável em trazer a filosofia e o caminho da iluminação para qualquer pessoa com um coração aberto.

Modern motorcycles aren't just machines anymore—they're equipped with advanced technology. Ride-by-wire means your throttle hand communicates with a processor instead of a cable, and that computer considers wheel speed, lean angle, traction, braking, and more before deciding how your bike responds. With ride modes, you can adjust your bike's personality for pavement, gravel, mud, or rain—varying power delivery, traction control, ABS, and even suspension. In this Rider Skills episode, Clinton Smout of SMART Riding Adventures explains how understanding ride modes can enhance your safety, control, and enjoyment on every ride.

Introducing: "Girl of The House" | Journal of a reluctant 2nd-generation family business ownerHello fellow travellers! First of all, let me make it clear, this announcement does not mean I am abandoning "Pheladi Presents South Africa". "Girl of The House" is just another project in the Pheladi Presents universe that communicates a different aspect of my life, behind-the-scenes of this travel podcast. Towards the end of 2022, I was made the co-owner of my family's hospitality business. Since then, I have been struggling to fully embrace my new responsibility. This newsletter and podcast journal was developed to help me work through that hesitation. This episode is actually a recording of one of the journal entries posted on my "Girl of The House" newsletter. I felt it appropriate to also post it on this platform because I believe the information it communicates is relevant to the audience of "Pheladi Presents South Africa". It explains what I have been dealing with behind-the-scenes and how I plan to move forward after this announcement. Also, I think it will also give you a taste of what "Girl of The House" is about. Be prepared, the structure of the "Girl of The House" podcast is completely different from that of this travel podcast. Whereas "Pheladi Presents South Africa" is more casual yet informative; `'Girl of The House" is more scripted and it unfolds like a written personal diary.Another thing that I need to mention is that in the recording I introduce the newsletter and podcast journal as "The Business of [Un]Becoming". However, that is the former name. Following my recording and posting of this audio, I've since changed the name to "Girl of The House". Finally, EXCITING NEWS:In this episode I also mention that I've officially partnered with an international travel company. I'm excited to share the news that the company is Rail Europe. Rail Europe is a trusted online booking platform for European train travel. International travellers planning to travel through Europe by train can book tickets and passes, sold by a variety of rail operators in 35 countries, using Rail Europe's website and app. Their user-friendly website offers a simple and secure booking experience, as well as accepts multiple payment options in different currencies, catering to travellers from all over the world.

We all choose our riding gear for comfort, style, and weather protection — trusting that if it's sold as motorcycle gear, it must also keep us safe in a crash. But how much of that trust is based on proof, and how much is just assumption? This week we speak with the head of one of the world's only independent labs that secretly buys gear off the shelf, crash-tests it, and publishes the results. What they've uncovered may completely change the way you think about the gear you've been relying on.

The Travellers become enmeshed prison politics as they attempt to make deals that will help them to escape. Kevin is pressed into assisting Assistant Warden Horus Ment. 

Obelisk och Olympia press gav ut böcker ingen annan vågade röra. Några blev odödliga klassiker. Gabriella Håkansson berättar den vilda historien om Parisförlagen som förändrade litteraturhistorien. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Först publicerad 2017. William S Burroughs, Samuel Beckett, Jean Genet, Henry Miller och James Joyce: alla har de en sak gemensamt – de har publicerat sig på ett obskyrt litet förlag i Paris, som under 1950-talet gav ut engelskspråkig litteratur i små gröna pocketböcker i serien ”Traveller's Companion”. Bakom den gemytliga rubriken dolde sig all den litteratur som inga andra förlag i Europa eller USA ville ta i med tång, av rädsla för att bli stämda. Allt började med att den brittiske dandyn Jack Kahane 1914 trampade på en landmina i Ypern (Ieper) i Belgien och entledigades från sin krigstjänstgöring. Under konvalescensen träffade han sin fru, fransyskan Marcelle Girodias, flyttade till Paris och började skriva böcker. Kahanes produktion var medelmåttig och innehöll lite för många erotiska anspelningar för att de engelska biblioteken skulle känna sig bekväma, så böckerna plockades bort och han fick dåligt rykte. Samtidigt började romanerna efterfrågas i bokhandeln. Kahane fick en insikt. Minsta inslag av erotik och den mest mediokra bok börjar sälja. I USA och England rådde fortfarande ålderdomliga censurlagar som satte stopp för allt som uppfattades som moraliskt eller erotiskt utmanande, men i Frankrike var situationen en annan, och nu hade Kahane fått en affärsidé. Han registrerade en fransk firma under namnet Obelisk Press och hyrde sunkig kontorslokal på vänstra stranden, nu gällde det bara att hitta sexuellt frispråkiga författare. Det var lättare sagt än gjort. I slutet av 20-talet kontaktar Kahane Sylvia Beach på bokhandeln Shakespeare & Co och får henne att förmedla kontakt med James Joyce, som några år tidigare gjort skandalsuccé på hennes förlag med den frispråkiga ”Ulysses”. Hade Joyce möjligen något mer som kunde publiceras? Det hade han. Experimentboken ”Haveth Childers Everywhere” blev Kahanes första framgångsrika publikation, snabbt åtföljd av Radcliffe Halls lesbiska roman ”Ensamhetens brunn”, som precis blivit förbjuden i England. Även D H Lawrences indragna ”Lady Chatterley's älskare” lades till på utgivningslistan, och nu rullade det på. Kahane fick snabbt rykte om sig att ge ut sånt som ingen annan vågade publicera, och snart köade folk utanför kontoret. Först ut var en helt okänd författare som hette Henry Miller och hade skrivit en bok med en titel som lät som något som handlade om cancer. Det var ”Kräftans vändkrets”. Snart hade även hans vänner Anaïs Nin och Lawrence Durrell fått manus antagna och Kahane var på banan, men när ”Kräftans vändkrets” efter många turer väl skulle ut, ja, då hade Kahane slut på pengar. Ett mönster som skulle komma att upprepa sig. Anaïs Nin visade handlingskraft och finansierade via sin psykoanalytiker Otto Rank trycket av både Millers och Durrells böcker. Som en gentjänst betalade sedan Durrell tryckningen av hennes bok ”Incest”. Sedan hann inte Kahane ge ut mer. Han dog oväntat 1939 vid bara 52-års ålder. Och med det kunde allt ha tagit slut. Det gjorde det inte. Hans 27-årige son Maurice Girodias hade hjälpt pappa på förlaget sedan han var liten, och när andra världskriget var över bestämde han sig för att blåsa liv i verksamheten igen. Nu skulle kampen för den sexuella frispråkigheten stegras ytterligare. Han började med att byta förlagsnamn till Olympia Press och kontaktade sedan faderns gamla författare för att sondera terrängen. Miller skickar in ”Plexus” men sedan var det stopp, så Girodias låter översätta alla franska erotiska böcker han hittar; Genet, Apollinaire, de Sade, Bataille, Queaneau, Reage men det räcker inte, läsarna går inte igång på litterär erotika, de vill ha hederlig porr som kan läsas med vänsterhanden. Girodias gör nu ett genidrag. Han kontaktar klicken kring avantagardetidskriften Merlin som som var de som hade översatt de franska erotiska böckerna, och frågar om de kan tänka sig att börja skriva pornografi istället. Naturligtvis under pseudonym, och gärna med lite kinky inslag. På så vis skulle de kunna finansiera sin tidskrift. Det vill de gärna. Merlin består av ett gäng jazzdansande, amfetaminsnortande utlänningar av båda könen, ledda av författaren Alexander Trocchi och finansierade av amerikanskan Jane Lougee. Kvinnor som män tar sig an uppgiften med förtjusning, och nu börjar Olympia Press glanstid. Merlin flyttar in på kontoret och redaktionen blir förlagets hårda kärna av redaktörer, sekreterare, korrekturläsare och allmänna hangaroaunds. Ur tryckpressarna spottas heta titlar som ”Tender was my flesh” och ”The Loins of Amon”. Olympia Press billiga gröna pocketböcker förses med myndigheternas varning att de inte får säljas i England eller USA, och sprids sedan till turister, matroser, soldater och pornografer som smugglar dem över gränserna en masse. Inkomsterna flödar, men Girodias är ännu värre än sin far vad gäller det ekonomiska. Han vägrar skriva kontrakt och betalar ut royalties lite när det passar. Författarna får köa utanför hans kontor när han är på gott humör, och hoppas på det bästa. Inte heller för han bok över hur många utgåvor han trycker. Ibland ger han ut en censurerad version för bokhandeln, och en annan för illegal spridning. Allt detta fungerar till en början väl med Merlins glada pornografer, men det går inte med riktiga författare som J.P. Donleavy och Vladimir Nabokov. De rasar och drar honom inför rätta. Inte heller går det att betala skatt med vänsterhanden. Bara några år in på det nya äventyret är Maurice Girodias skuldsatt, belånad och åtalad för såväl brott mot obscenitetslagarna som obetalda royalties. Och så här håller det på. Mygel, skulder, porr, åtal – allt i en eskalerande spiral, tills Girodias mot slutet av sextiotalet tröttnar på myndigheternas hetsjakt och författarnas pengatjat, och flyttar till USA för att starta ett amerikanskt Olympia Press. Där går det ännu sämre. Valerie Solanas, som författaren heter, går tre kvarter bort och skjuter Andy Warhol istället. Förläggaren som hela sitt liv bekämpat censuren verkar ha grävt sin egen grav. Den nya tidens libertiner behövde inte längre hans förlag, och när han 1968 struntar i att publicera en av sina nya författare som det är bestämt, så går hon upp på kontoret för att skjuta honom. Girodias är inte på plats och Valerie Solanas, som författaren heter, går tre kvarter bort och skjuter Andy Warhol istället. Girodias är inte sen att utnyttja publiciteten och får snabbt iväg SCUM-manifestet till tryck, det blir hans sista viktiga utgivning, innan allt går utför i ett träsk av hårdporr, scientologi och boxningsböcker. Hans livshistoria kan låta tragisk, men den ledde faktiskt fram till en av 1900-talets stora landvinningar: avskaffandet av censuren. De många och långa rättsprocesserna Girodias drogs inför och tappert utkämpade blev prejudicerande, och satte stopp för en puritanism som präglat bokbranschen i flera hundra år. Vi har familjen Kahane/Girodias att tacka för den frihet litteraturen åtnjuter idag. Och för att banbrytande böcker som Millers ”Kräftans vändkrets”, Burroughs ”Den nakna lunchen”, Trocchis ”Young Adam” och Nabokovs ”Lolita” överhuvudtaget kom i tryck. Och de gröna pocketböckerna som på 50-talet kostade några kronor när de kom ut, betingar idag skyhöga priser på den antikvariska marknaden. Samlarna dammsuger gamla lumplådor och porraffärer för att hitta kvarglömda Olympia Press, och granskar sedan böckernas omslag med lupp för att avgöra vilken utgåva det kan röra sig om. Finns påklistrade prislappar, myndighetsstämplar och korrekta tryckorter där, kan de ha stött på en äkta förstautgåva. Är det någon av klassikerna, som till exempel ”Lolita” kan de räkna med att vara 100 000 kronor rikare. Maurice Girodias dör utblottad och bitter 1990 och begravs på Père-Lachaisekyrkogården i Paris. På hans gravsten låter brodern Eric Kahane gravera ”Une journée sur la Terre”. En dag på jorden. Gabriella Håkansson, författare LitteraturJohn de St Jorre – Venus Bound.

The Light Gate Welcomes GUEST: Researcher, author, astral traveler Gerard M. Pratt Date: September 15, 2025 Time: 5-7 pm pacific / 8-10 pm eastern Episode 125 Discussion: The OBEs and Paranormal Experiences of Gerard M. Pratt Tonight, The Light Gate is honored to welcome back researcher, author, and astral traveler Gerard Pratt. Gerard is passionate about exploring astral projection and out-of-body experiences. He believes that transcending the astral plane connects him with intelligent ethereal entities and spirits, providing insights into the mysteries beyond the veil. His fascination with the paranormal began in childhood, marked by vivid apocalyptic visions and the unforgettable memory of witnessing a silver, metallic, disc-shaped UFO soaring over his Liverpool home. Since 2019, Gerard has been in regular contact with a humanoid entity named Aryabhata and a group of hooded beings. His experiences during astral projections have allowed him to encounter various humanoid forms, including Greys, Nordics, Energy beings, and a blue Arcturian entity. He is often accompanied by a guide named Stewart, knowledgeable in biblical lore, and a female entity he affectionately calls the Teacher. Through his explorations, Gerard has met numerous spirits eager to assist him, being guided to an inner Earth base and accessing spirit realms to reconnect with deceased loved ones. One of his most remarkable experiences was the opportunity to pilot a disc-shaped craft under Aryabhata's guidance. Gerard actively enhances his clairvoyance at a local psychic development circle, engages in group meditation, and passionately pursues the development of his PSI abilities. Throughout this journey, he has had the privilege of attending physical mediumship séances, where he has witnessed extraordinary phenomena such as the levitation of objects, apportation, and the remarkable materialisation of spirits into solid matter. Determined to uncover the truth behind unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs), Gerard is deeply invested in Human-Initiated Contact Experiences (HICE) or CE-5. He is actively involved as a group expert at his local CE-5 group and embraces opportunities to connect with like-minded individuals at spiritual events and conferences. Gerard resides in the vibrant city of Liverpool, England. He has enjoyed a 25-year career in the British Army, specialising in military railway operations and infrastructure support. He applies his skills to the UK railways, driving trains with unparalleled precision and professionalism. He is the author of the brand new book, just release, “The Astral Traveller: Guardians of Light & Shadow.” Now available on Amazon.

When everything is perfectly organized—routes mapped, fuel stops planned, meals and beds guaranteed—it feels effortless. But the truth is, no matter how tidy the plan, the real world always gets a vote. On short rides, those small interruptions are easy to patch over. Stretch the miles across countries and weeks on the road, though, and the little things start to compound. That's when the first casualty is usually the plan—and what comes next is called the adventure.In this 2017 story, a dozen experienced riders set out to cross South America from Cartagena to Ushuaia, equipped with skills, support vehicles, and a clear plan. But tropical rain, border red tape, shock absorbers that cried uncle, and Patagonian winds forced them to adapt. The journey didn't unfold the way they mapped it—but that's the point. What carries a long trip isn't a perfect plan; it's the flexibility to rewrite it.

Este podcast está patrocinado por nuestros amigos de la revista CEROaCIEN que dedica… ¡Mas de 100 páginas al Mini! Que nos han servido para desmontar muchos mitos… y es que CEROaCIEN se ha convertido, para mí, en la fuente más fidedigna. ¡Solo se vende online! No la busques en el quiosco porque no la vas a encontrar. Te recuerdo que si eres garajista tienes condiciones especiales y francamente, si no estás suscrito, no sé a qué esperas… Porque… ¿Crees que el Mini se diseñó en una servilleta? ¿Qué no hubo una versión 4x4 o un dos volúmenes? ¿Crees que fue un éxito instantáneo, que era un coche para chicas o que nació con vocación deportiva? Hoy vamos a destrozar estos y muchos más mitos sobre el Mini. Vas a conocer la verdadera historia del Mini porque… ¡Esto es Garaje Hermético! Mentira 1: "El diseño del Mini nació en una servilleta". Confieso que creía en esta leyenda: Que Sir Alec Issigonis tuvo un destello de genialidad y esbozó el Mini en una servilleta. Es una imagen poética, pero falsa. Mentira 2: "El Mini fue un éxito de ventas instantáneo". Siempre que se habla de este modelo se da por supuesto que el público se enamoró del Mini desde el primer día, pero la realidad es muy diferente, pues su despegue comercial fue muy lento. Mentira 3: "El Mini nació con espíritu deportivo". El nombre Mini Cooper es sinónimo de competición, pero el coche no nació con esa vocación. Es más, su creador, Alec Issigonis, despreciaba las carreras. Mentira 4: "Todos los Minis clásicos son prácticamente iguales". Su silueta apenas cambió en 40 años, pero el Mini vivió una evolución constante. Se vendió bajo distintas marcas como Austin, Morris, Riley, Wolseley; tuvo diferentes carrocerías como el familiar Traveller, la furgoneta Van, con maletero separado y el playero Moke; y una gran variedad de motores, desde 848 cm3 hasta 1275 cm3. Mentira 5: "El Mini es un coche muy inseguro por su tamaño". Juzgar al Mini con los estándares actuales es injusto. Comparado con sus contemporáneos de los años 60, no era inseguro. Su mayor baza era la seguridad activa: su agilidad, dirección directa y frenada le permitían evitar accidentes con facilidad. Mentira 6: "BMC perdía dinero con cada Mini que vendía". Una leyenda muy extendida basada en que el margen de beneficio en los modelos básicos era ridículamente bajo, casi inexistente, debido a un error de cálculo inicial en los costes de producción. Mentira 7: "El Mini fue un coche pensado para mujeres". Su asociación con iconos de la moda como Mary Quant, creadora de la minifalda, le dio una imagen femenina, pero el Mini fue concebido como un coche universal para toda la familia. Mentira 8: "Siempre se llamó Mini". Pues no. El coche no nació como una marca llamada "Mini". En 1959, para satisfacer a las distintas redes de concesionarios de BMC, se lanzó bajo dos nombres: Austin Seven y Morris Mini-Minor. Mentira 9: "El primer Mini matriculado fue el 621 AOK". La matrícula 621 AOK es icónica, pero no pertenece al primer Mini fabricado. Este coche fue, en realidad, el primer Mini presentado a la prensa y utilizado para las fotos oficiales del lanzamiento. Por su gran exposición mediática, se quedó en la memoria colectiva como el número uno.. Mentira 10: "Gustó a todo el mundo desde el primer momento". Lejos de ser un amor a primera vista universal, la recepción inicial del Mini fue muy polarizada. Muchos periodistas y compradores potenciales lo encontraron demasiado extraño, ruidoso y espartano. Mentira 11: "El Traveller tenía una carrocería de madera". Las versiones familiares, conocidas como Traveller o Countryman, son famosas por su entramado de madera trasero. Esto ha llevado a pensar que su carrocería era de madera, incluso lo he visto escrito por compañeros… pero no es cierto. Mentira 12: "No hubo un Mini de tres volúmenes". Bueno, esto en realidad es cierto, porque no hubo uno… hubo dos. BMC lanzó en 1961 el Riley Elf y Wolseley Hornet ambos con la base del Mini, pero con un prominente maletero y un frontal con la parrilla distintiva de cada marca, creando una elegante silueta de sedán en miniatura. Mentira 12+1: "Nunca hubo un Mini 4x4". Aunque nunca se vendió al público, la idea de un Mini con tracción total existió y se desarrolló en prototipos fascinantes. El más famoso fue el "Twini", un Moke experimental con ¡dos motores!, uno delante y otro detrás, creando un 4x4 de altísimas prestaciones…

Chris Birch returns to Adventure Rider Radio with insights from his brand-new Everything Adventure video training series. This is a deep dive into how adventure riding and training have evolved in the last five years. Chris explains why fundamentals like bike setup and body position matter more than flashy skills, how modern ADV bike design is changing the way we ride, and why so much of what riders learn in a course is quickly forgotten. From fitness as the hidden limiter, to the “fun tokens” mindset, to the balance between digital and in-person training, Chris shares practical lessons and fresh perspectives every rider can take to the trail.About Chris Birch:Chris Birch is one of the most sought-after off-road coaches in the world. With over 35 years of riding experience, he has competed at the highest levels and coached thousands of riders across the globe.

Damian (Demon) Rowley spent 35 years riding motorcycles professionally in London—first as a courier, then as one of Virgin's elite “limo bike” riders, trusted to ferry celebrities and executives through the city's relentless traffic. With over half a million miles behind him, Damian shares the toll of crashes, injuries, and burnout, as well as the moment he realized he needed a change. At 50, he walked away from security, ended a long relationship, and set out solo on a KTM 690 to ride the world. His story isn't just about motorcycles—it's about reinvention, confronting fear, and discovering personal growth when the safety nets are gone.

In this edition of Charlie Higson's Summer Reading History Book Club, he looks at the history between England and India.Before the East India Company and before the British Empire, England was an unimportant backwater. Seeking better fortunes, 16th and 17th century merchants ventured to the empire of the mighty Mughals, attempting to sell coarse woollen broadcloth that nobody really wanted.It was a land ruled from the palatial towers by women – the formidable Empress Nur Jahan Begim, the enterprising Queen Mother Maryam al-Zamani, and the intrepid Princess Jahanara Begim. Their collision of worlds helped connect East and West, launching a tempestuous period of globalisation spanning from the Chinese opium trade to the slave trade in the Americas.Joining Charlie to explain this fascinating story is Dr Lubaaba Al-Azami, whose book 'Travellers in the Golden Realm' traces the origins of a relationship between two nations – one outsider and one superpower – whose cultures remain inextricably linked to this day.

Get in touch with us!The dark minions may have tried to sabotage our first episode, but we're back with a deep dive into the fascinating world of Dark Conspiracy, GDW's dystopian monster-hunting RPG from 1991.Dark Conspiracy occupies a unique place in roleplaying history – a game that bridges old-school wargaming crunch with forward-thinking character development systems. We explore how this game, with its eerily prescient setting of corporate overreach and societal collapse, created some of the most detailed and mismatched parties in gaming. Where else could you play a heavily-armed scooby gang featuring a Navy SEAL, a paramedic, and a homeless guy with sunglasses?The game's mechanical complexity is both its blessing and curse. We marvel at the obsessive detail – magazine tracking sheets for individual bullets, eight pages of space travel rules in a monster-hunting game, and vehicle stats for everything from military hardware to Winnebagos. Yet beneath this crunch lies innovative systems for character development, NPC generation, and adventure design that were ahead of their time.We also connect Dark Conspiracy to GDW's broader legacy, from Traveller to Twilight 2000, examining how these games influenced an entire generation of players. Our discussion ranges from character optimization (cyborg escapees with strength 18, anyone?) to the evolution of game design, from pure simulation to narrative focus.Whether you're a longtime fan of GDW games or simply curious about this fascinating chapter in RPG history, join us for this exploration of a game that tried to have rules for everything – including how many tons of cargo your spacecraft could deliver to the moon.What was your experience with Dark Conspiracy or other GDW games? Did you track every bullet, or handwave the crunch in favor of the story?

Fifteen years on the road—and no major disasters. Elsebie and Michnus Olivier of PikiPiki Overland share how they've dodged mechanical meltdowns, sketchy border crossings, and costly mistakes while traveling by motorcycle —including one tense moment in Sudan that could have gone very wrong. Is it luck… or a skill you can learn?

Spotify took down the original. BOO..

Elisa Rosales lay on her back, head spinning, gasping for air. Her bike lay a few feet away, right where she had dropped it. Darkness pressed at the edges of her vision, and she fought the pull to let go, to drift into sleep. The ground beneath her was cold; she was cold. This was her first motorcycle adventure. She and her husband had set out from Argentina, bound for Arizona, but that destination felt impossibly far from where she now lay in the Andes, at nearly 16,000 feet. And the hardest part of the journey was only beginning.

LONG LIVE THE CREW.

This episode is a follow-up to our recent episode, Abandoned on the Dalton, which featured rider Shilo Crane on a journey from Georgia to Alaska to raise awareness for mental health. That story took a turn when Shilo said he was left behind by his riding partner on the remote Dalton Highway, forcing him to continue the trip alone. But shortly after that episode aired, we heard from the other rider—Corey Speck—who says it was he who was abandoned. What unfolds in this episode may sound like a rebuttal, a clash of perspectives, or a story about hurt feelings and fractured friendships. But as you listen, you might find something more profound—maybe even a story of discovery.
