    DEEP TROUBLE: Rider Down on the Cross Pennsylvania Adventure Trail

    In this episode of DEEP TROUBLE, a group of riders set off to the Cross Pennsylvania Adventure Trail expecting a fun and relatively easy ride. As they start their journey, they are surprised by the beautiful scenery, interesting attractions, and the remoteness they experience while riding through miles of game trails. Everything seems perfect until one small mistake changes everything. One of the riders goes down, and they are faced with potentially life-threatening complications. And It’s about then that they realize they don’t know where they are. Luckily, they have a plan.

    Ted Simon - Formula for Real Adventure

    Ted Simon - Formula for Real Adventure

    Ted Simon is a well-known figure in the adventure motorcycle travel community. He rode his motorcycle around the world in the early 1970s, documenting his journey for a newspaper and later writing the book Jupiter’s Travels. The book became hugely popular and is still selling briskly almost five decades later. Ted 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 that anyone can follow to have 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.

    Small vs Large Adventure Motorcycles Off-Road - Chris Birch

    Small vs Large Adventure Motorcycles Off-Road - Chris Birch

    The topic of large and small adventure motorcycles is often approached with a "large vs small" angle, as if there is a definitive answer to the question of which is better. However, just as there is no one-size-fits-all solution for footwear, there is no perfect bike that suits everyone for all occasions. In this episode, we will discuss large and small adventure motorcycles from a different perspective. Chris Birch from Say No To Slow talks about how we ride large vs small adventure motorcycles and why what works for one may not work for the other.

    Exploring India: Altitude Sickness in the Himalayas

    Exploring India: Altitude Sickness in the Himalayas

    Ready for another big adventure, Dustin Nere reunited with a good friend at the Delhi airport for a 2-month adventure in the Himalayas. Apart from booking flights, reserving a hotel for the first few nights, and reserving bikes in Dehradun, they had no real plan. They knew of only a couple of notable places that Dustin had read about, and they hoped they could connect the dots. To make things more interesting, they began the journey with two other Americans who were visiting India for just two weeks. In the first week, they experienced bike troubles, landslides and altitude sickness. They made poor decisions and they learned valuable lessons.

    Long Distance Riding at 75

    Long Distance Riding at 75

    When 62 year old Don Nelson from Colorado walked into a motorcycle dealership for a casual look around, little did he know what was about to happen. After the salesman offered for him to test ride a bike, Don found himself making an impulsive decision—he bought a Triumph Bonneville on the spot. Despite not having ridden a motorcycle in over 40 years, he rediscovered his passion for riding and felt immediately at ease on the bike.
    Now, over a decade later at the age of 75, Don prefers to travel solo, riding long distances from his home to Alaska, coast-to-coast across the United States, and to the Rocky Mountains in Canada. For Don, age is just a number as he continues to embrace the freedom and excitement that motorcycling brings.

    DEEP TROUBLE: Stranded in the Desert Without Fuel and Water

    DEEP TROUBLE: Stranded in the Desert Without Fuel and Water

    In this episode of DEEP TROUBLE, we talk with James McCormick who went on what he calls, a ‘leap of faith ride’ in Baja, somewhere he had ridden many times before. This time he and his friend chose to explore a more remote area and everything seemed to be going smoothly until they were well past halfway into the ride, when suddenly the road they had counted on following was gone and all that remained was sand, rocks, cactus, and brush. Facing a critical decision, they decided to push on and by nightfall they found themselves stranded in the desert without enough fuel to either continue or turn back, and even worse, they ran out of water.

Jim and Elizabeth are always able to pull together such great shows! I really appreciate the diversity of guests, the mix of tech how to and good stories. Thanks for doing what you do - this is my all time favourite podcast. Subscribed!

Great podcast for anyone interested in any level of ADV motorcycle

RacerRoo ,

One of my go to podcasts for escape and inspiration.

Consider I am a thrifty V-Strom riding DIYer; yet I have on at least a couple occasions sent a support donation their way.

Great content that entertains, educated, inspires, and creates dreams. One day when the kids are more independent, I plan on adventures worth of an interview I hope.

Haven’t done a long motorcycle trip since my 20s but almost every story I listen to takes me back to that or stimulates my current motorcycle life revival.
Thanks for your great work in our community Jim! And thanks to all the people that contribute to the show!

Highly recommend!
