Hidden Roads of the Coast - Suzanne Jolly

Hidden Roads of the Coast - Suzanne Jolly
For more than a decade, Suzanne Jolly had dreamed of her ultimate motorcycle adventure. Her idea was to load her motorcycle onto a boat that would drop her in a remote, boat-access-only area on the British Columbia coast. Once there, she could explore the vast network of logging roads that crisscross the Coast Mountains and ride in an area that few have ever seen. Because the area is so remote, she would need to take everything she required — bike, camping gear, and fuel — into the wilderness. However, her dream was put on the back burner when a brain injury turned her life upside down. After a long struggle with recovery, which included re-learning to ride a motorcycle, she decided to make her dream a reality by inviting a few other riders to join her in riding the hidden roads of the coast.

The Most Misunderstood Country in the World
Moin Khan, from Pakistan, has been passionate about motorcycles since childhood. While attending school in the United States, Moin was surprised by how little people knew about Pakistan, and much of what they did know seemed inaccurate. So, after finishing school, he decided to ride a motorcycle back to Pakistan, calling his journey ‘A Different Agenda’. His goal was to change perceptions about Pakistan, one encounter at a time. In the end, Moin was amazed by how the journey unfolded and by the kindness of the people he met, which beautifully challenged his own assumptions.

Riding to the Road's End
In late 2023, after years of talking about it, Steve Robertson embarked on his solo ride from Ontario, Canada to Ushuaia, Argentina. He had never done a big international trip like this before, he didn’t speak any Spanish and knew the language barrier could be a challenge, but with a translation app in hand and his goals firmly set, he felt ready to go. On the eighth day of his trip, he had an accident in Mexico. He went down and was injured—unable to lift one arm—but fortunately, nothing was broken. So now Steve had a dilemma - he had saved up for this trip of a lifetime - should he end his adventure there, fly home, and leave the bike in Mexico, or should he try to keep going?

Go Ruffly Across the Darien Gap - Jess and Greg Stone
The Darien Gap is one of the most dangerous routes in the Americas. It’s a remote, lawless expanse of mountainous rainforest that spans Colombia and Panama. After Jess and Greg Stone from Go Ruffly finished training their new puppy, Whimsy, to ride on a motorcycle, they headed 20,000 km south, shipped their bikes from Panama and endured a gruelling five-day trek through mud, rivers, and jungle to cross the Darien Gap. On their journey through this inhospitable terrain, they encountered thousands of migrants walking the same treacherous route in reverse, navigated dozens of harrowing miles through the tropical rainforest and in the end were reunited with their motorcycles in Colombia.

RIDER SKILLS: No Time to Think - What Do You Do?
Understanding the underlying reasons for why we perform certain actions is crucial in building a strong skill set. When you know the ‘why’, you won't need to rely on remembering the steps because they will become obvious. When riding a motorcycle, there's often no time to remember to think about each skill. In this episode of Rider Skills with Clinton Smout, we will explore the essential elements for building and maintaining riding skills and discuss how long it takes to notice a difference in our riding.

Discomfort Is the Tax We Pay for an Incredible Journey - Tom Gould and Lauren Board
Tom Gould and Lauren Board are each riding 125cc Honda motorcycles on a trip from the UK to Cape Town, South Africa without a definite deadline. Their trip is loosely planned, it is their first major expedition, and they have already faced numerous challenges. When our host, Jim Martin, spoke with them, they were nursing hundreds of insect bites and had just been burglarized for the second time. To make matters worse, the people they thought would help them only scolded them and sent them on their way without food, water, or money, which the thieves had taken as well. Despite these hardships, Tom insists he wouldn’t turn back. He says you’d have to drag him home kicking and screaming. Links: Photos and links related to this episode can be found in the on .

Ted Simon - Formula for Real Adventure
Ted Simon recently turned 93 years old, and for his birthday, our host, Jim Martin, sat down with him to discuss how a rider today could have a similar trip. Ted came up with some criteria anyone can follow for a real adventure. During the conversation, it was revealed that Ted may not have been alone for the entire trip as previously thought and he also shared how his clear idea of what he wanted from his trip led him to turn his back on someone close to him so that he could continue his journey alone.
