Today we launched perhaps our most unique and exciting LIVE THE DREAM programme, called The 3rd Wheel. Wheel2Wheel is offering an incredible exclusive opportunity for a handful of people to actually join Simon and I on the expedition. Yes that’s right, a 3rd BMW F800GS will make the journey from Hong Kong to Brisbane … …
Today was like the day I got my first iPod all those years ago. Thanks to our latest little technological gem, the Interphone F4. Simon and I were jettisoned into the 3rd dimension of motorbike riding: being able to communicate with each other through our helmets! The simple pleasure of going for …
Today we collected our new BMW Enduro helmets for the Wheel2Wheel expedition. We ordered them about a month ago and they just arrived from Germany. The decision to use this particular helmet was the result of an exhaustive research project. Using online industry forums and chatting to other adventurers, we worked through …

After the painful falls on my last ride, it would be fair to say I was feeling a little apprehensive this morning. Somehow putting on all the protective equipment didn’t give me the warm self-confident feeling it has …
The summer months are burning away and we are drawing ever nearer to the Wheel2Wheel departure on 1 March 2011. Its amazing how time flies and we go from having ” so much time until we leave” to feeling we don’t have enough time to get things done. I for one have been off for the …
As yet another brutally hot summer approaches, we have less than 9 months to go before our 1 March 2011 departure from Hong Kong and things are certainly heating up.
