  2. Homicide Detective turned world-conquering motorcyclist Brian Rix

    Homicide Detective turned world-conquering motorcyclist Brian Rix

    What do you do after 36 years investigating homicides? If you're Brian Rix, you ship a BMW GS to South America and ride from the Antarctic Circle to the Arctic Circle. The former Victorian Detective Inspector and Police Association President has since travelled over 170,000 kilometers across 68 countries on two wheels - with his wife Shirley on the back for every wild kilometer. From bear country breakdowns to 5000-metre Andes crossings, Brian's journey is equal parts adventure story and accidental therapy session. As a fierce advocate for PTSD-affected officers and co-founder of Australia's Wall to Wall Ride for Remembrance, Brian knows the weight that homicide work leaves behind. But his story isn't about dwelling in darkness - it's about choosing the horizon, discovering that most people are decent, and proving your second act can be even better than your first. Thirty-six years solving crimes. Three epic journeys. One hell of a retirement plan. Buy Brian and Shirley’s books at www.aussiesoverland.com.au/

  3. Norton's £200M Comeback: Manx R Superbike & Inside TVS's Hosur Factory

    Norton's £200M Comeback: Manx R Superbike & Inside TVS's Hosur Factory

    Norton Motorcycles has returned to the world stage with arguably its most significant product launch ever – the all-new Manx R superbike leading a four-model offensive that signals the British brand's bold resurgence. In this special episode presented by Autoglym, we dive deep into Norton's EICMA 2025 reveal and explore what makes the Manx R different from every other superbike on the market. No aero wings. A focus on real-world torque over peak horsepower. Reductive luxury design. And a 1,200cc V4 engine engineered to deliver explosive performance where riders actually ride – between 5,000 and 10,000rpm. But the real story behind Norton's comeback is the backing of TVS Motor Company, India's third-largest motorcycle manufacturer. Last month, I travelled to Bangalore to visit TVS's Hosur manufacturing facility, and what I witnessed was manufacturing at immense scale with sophisticated AI integration and automation. This firsthand experience provides crucial context for understanding Norton's resurgence – this isn't hopeful rhetoric, it's backed by serious industrial capability and over £200 million in investment. In This Episode: The Manx R deep dive: specs, philosophy, and that controversial "no wings" designWhy Norton engineered for real-world performance instead of chasing peak horsepowerInside TVS's Hosur factory: AI, automation, and the scale behind Norton's rebirthThree additional models revealed: Manx, Atlas, and Atlas GTCan Norton command premium pricing against Ducati and BMW?The challenge of rebuilding a dealer network and brand credibilityWhat this means for the Australian marketHeritage brand revivals: what's the formula for success?Key Specs - Norton Manx R: 1,200cc 72-degree V4 engine206hp @ 11,500rpm / 130Nm @ 9,000rpm204kg dry weight (1hp per kilogram)Semi-active Marzocchi suspensionBrembo HYPURE brakes with cornering ABSCarbon fibre bodywork and BST wheels8" TFT touchscreen with GoPro integrationLaunch: Early 2026Norton's approach flies in the face of conventional superbike wisdom. While rivals chase maximum horsepower and add ever-more complex aerodynamics, Norton has stripped things back – focusing on torque, clean design, and a riding experience that's engaging on real roads, not just racetracks. With TVS's financial muscle, manufacturing expertise, and global distribution network, Norton finally has the foundation for sustainable success. But can a premium British brand maintain its identity while leveraging Indian manufacturing? And are superbike buyers ready for a motorcycle that prioritises character over outright performance numbers? Presented by Autoglym – keeping your pride and joy in showroom condition.
