    Gumball Dreams In A Bugatti

    Send us Fan MailA single phone call can rewrite your entire origin story. Tommy Davies grew up in the Welsh hills watching Gumball 3000 on DVD, studying the mission packs, the border drama, and the rolling circus of cars and characters. Then VinWiki's Ed Bolian rings him up with the question every fan secretly rehearses: do you want to do Gumball for real?We talk through what that actually looks like on the ground, including the 2026 Gumball 3000 route from Miami to Amelia Island, New Orleans, and Austin, plus the parts nobody puts on posters: trying to keep a Bugatti Veyron cool in parade traffic, packing “light” when the trunk is basically a rumour, and navigating crowds, shuttles, crews, and nights that feel like a moving festival. Tommy also shares the surreal moments you can’t plan, from celebrity run-ins to seeing cannonball history echo through modern rally culture.Around the interview, we get into our own endurance-rally world: motorcycle setup changes that make a difference, the reality of recording on the road, a brutally honest helmet experience, and why “self-rescue” is more than a slogan. We also sketch a Japan motorcycle trip blueprint with practical tips on rentals and the International Driving Permit Japan actually accepts, plus a reminder to travel like a good guest and respect local road rules.If you love Gumball 3000, the cannonball run, adventure riding, and the logistics behind big rides, hit subscribe, share this with a friend who’d say yes to the Veyron, and leave a review so more rally nerds find us.Support the showFree Music from the show on SPOTIFY and on APPLEAaron's Ride Outs Map HERESupport us directly on Venmo: https://venmo.com/u/Aaron-PufalSupport us on Patreon HEREBuy us a Coffee HEREThe Motorcycle Book and Film Clubs.The Living List Document GOOGLE DOCContact the Podcast [email protected] Cannonball Rally HomeGPS Checkpoint Rally & Event App HomeADV Cannonball Rally on Facebook Instagram TikTokMailing Address ...

    ROUNDTABLE - Cannonball Record Holder, Beau Earnest and Kerry

    Send us Fan MailThirty-two hours from New York to California on a motorcycle is the kind of number that sounds fake until you hear the choices behind it. We’re joined by Beau Earnest, the current transcontinental pavement record holder, to walk through what it takes to hold an 86+ mph average while juggling fuel range, comfort, verification, weather detours, and the constant reality that one mistake can erase your margin.We talk gear and tactics without the fluff: why Beau chose the Yamaha FJR platform, how a high-mounted fuel cell changes handling and stop strategy, and what comfort mods actually matter when you’re living on the bike for more than a full day. Beau also explains how record attempts get verified in a world where GPX files can be faked, plus the behind-the-scenes value of spotters, live tracking, and building a clean trail of proof.Then the story turns from pavement to gravel. Beau is jumping into the ADV Cannonball Rally, where navigation, weather, and a points game replace a single flat-out route. We dig into dirt prep, rule changes that force harder decisions, smart packing, charging reliability, and a navigation stack built around offline routing.If you like high-stakes rides, practical planning, and honest lessons learned the hard way, subscribe, share this with a riding buddy, and leave a review so more riders can find the show.Support the showFree Music from the show on SPOTIFY and on APPLEAaron's Ride Outs Map HERESupport us directly on Venmo: https://venmo.com/u/Aaron-PufalSupport us on Patreon HEREBuy us a Coffee HEREThe Motorcycle Book and Film Clubs.The Living List Document GOOGLE DOCContact the Podcast [email protected] Cannonball Rally HomeGPS Checkpoint Rally & Event App HomeADV Cannonball Rally on Facebook Instagram TikTokMailing Address ...

    Operation Haulage: UK 🇬🇧 Cannonball Record and Avoiding Prison - Tommy Davies 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

    Send us Fan MailA nine-hour-and-change drive from John O’Groats to Land’s End sounds like pub talk until the police show up at your farm with a search warrant. We sit down with Tommy Davies to unpack the UK cannonball world, why record attempts live in a weird space between obsession and evidence, and how one headline can turn into Operation Haulage and a Crown Court trial with prison-level stakes.Along the way, we get specific about the UK’s enforcement landscape, from average speed cameras to Home Office type approval, and why “burden of proof” becomes the real battleground when tech data doesn’t match what the prosecution expects. Tommy walks us through the raid, the seizure, the charges, the disclosure fights, the experts, and the moments in court where a fair judge forces the process to stay honest. It’s part motoring history, part courtroom drama, and part warning about how easy it is for public opinion to harden before facts are tested.We also bring it back to our own backyard with ADV Cannonball Rally updates: how the points system works, what it takes to earn awards like Rough Rider and Checkpoint Crusher, why alumni love the banquet, and the big 2027 twist: a real closed-course dirt race stage with bonus points. If you’re into adventure motorcycle rallies, GPS checkpoint strategy, and the stories that make this community what it is, you’ll feel right at home.Support the showFree Music from the show on SPOTIFY and on APPLEAaron's Ride Outs Map HERESupport us directly on Venmo: https://venmo.com/u/Aaron-PufalSupport us on Patreon HEREBuy us a Coffee HEREThe Motorcycle Book and Film Clubs.The Living List Document GOOGLE DOCContact the Podcast [email protected] Cannonball Rally HomeGPS Checkpoint Rally & Event App HomeADV Cannonball Rally on Facebook Instagram TikTokMailing Address ...

    Lois Pryce 🇬🇧 on Iran ADV Travel and The Dutch Minion 🇳🇱

    Send us Fan MailIran can feel like a headline, a warning label, a place you’re supposed to have an opinion about without ever meeting the people who live there. We wanted something better than that, so we sat down with world-renowned author and rider Lois Pryce to talk about what actually happens when you show up on a motorcycle with curiosity, humility, and a willingness to be changed.Lois takes us from her BBC music department days and the moment she realized she needed out, through the early internet era of clunky travel blogging that accidentally launched a writing career. From there we go deep into Revolutionary Ride and the idea that motorcycle travel isn’t “taking on” a country, it’s being in it. We talk about fear versus imagination, how Western news framing sticks in your brain, and why the reality on the ground in places like Iran can be radically more human, more funny, and more generous than you expect. We also get practical about responsibility: how to tell travel stories with nuance, how to stay aware without becoming naive, and why posting the wrong thing online can turn into real risk.Then we switch gears to the ADV Cannonball Rally world with Deanna, better known as Dutch Minion And Her Bike, who’s building waypoints and routes for the 2027 European rally. She explains how the Netherlands becomes a rider’s playground on dike roads and reclaimed land, how to design waypoint puzzles that force smart navigation, and what it takes to ride big miles year after year. If you’re into adventure riding, GPS navigation, route planning, and the culture that makes riders help riders, you’ll feel right at home.If you enjoyed the mix of adventure, hard truths, and laugh-out-loud detours, subscribe, share this with a riding buddy, and leave a review so more people can find the show.Support the showFree Music from the show on SPOTIFY and on APPLEAaron's Ride Outs Map HERESupport us directly on Venmo: https://venmo.com/u/Aaron-PufalSupport us on Patreon HEREBuy us a Coffee HEREThe Motorcycle Book and Film Clubs.The Living List Document GOOGLE DOCContact the Podcast [email protected] Cannonball Rally HomeGPS Checkpoint Rally & Event App HomeADV Cannonball Rally on Facebook Instagram TikTokMailing Address ...

    TT Racing Minds And The Calm Inside 200 mph with Spartacus 🇮🇲

    Send us Fan Mail200 miles an hour is loud, violent, and unforgiving, yet the best riders describe it as calm. We sit down with Isle of Man TT racer Marcus “Spartacus” Simpson and let him talk us through the Mountain Course the way he actually rides it: markers, gears, blind crests, jumps, cambers, and the kind of decisions that happen before you even arrive at the corner. Listening to a TT racer narrate a full lap from inside a car makes one thing painfully clear: what looks like chaos on video is often methodical precision built on repetition.Along the way, we get practical about riding and racing technique. Spartacus explains why the neutral zone (no throttle, no brake) makes the bike vague, why steady inputs keep stability on bumpy high-speed sections, and how breathing and heart-rate control can be the difference between smooth and blown apart. We also talk about the reality behind the highlight reels: normal jobs in the off-season, sponsorship that rarely means a salary, and why the TT still pulls people back even when the risks are obvious.We wrap with community news and route planning for the ADV Cannonball Rally. There’s an update on scooter cannonball uncertainty and what modernization could look like, plus a rideout recommendation for Hurricane Ridge and Obstruction Point. Then we get into the big announcement: the 2027 Baja Edition moves fully to the USA, and the 2027 America rally goes Portland to Portland, from Maine to Oregon, with a mix of mud, slab days, mountain roads, and optional backcountry challenges.Subscribe for more two-wheeled nonsense, share this with a rider who loves corner strategy, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

    ROUNDTABLE - New Riders, Big Miles - ADV Cannonball Rally

    Send us Fan MailA coast-to-coast adventure rally sounds wild, but the real story is how regular riders turn a huge goal into a workable plan. We’re joined by three newcomers to the ADV Cannonball Rally who could not be more different on paper: Alex heading in on a Yamaha XMAX 300 scooter, Matt bringing long-distance experience on a Yamaha Tenere 700, and Jan travelling from Oslo, Norway to ride his BMW F800GS in the US. Their mix of nerves and excitement is exactly what first-timers feel before a long-distance motorcycle rally, and we get specific about what they’re doing to be ready. We dig into the things that keep riders up at night: the strange new sound that might mean a mechanical failure, what to carry for basic roadside repairs, and how light you can pack without setting yourself up to suffer. We also talk tires and strategy across long pavement days followed by rougher off-road sections, including the real challenge of trying to schedule a tire swap mid-route when you roll into town late and dealerships close early. If you have ever debated tools vs weight, or wondered what “minimum viable kit” actually looks like, you will hear a few hard-earned perspectives. Navigation is the other big pillar. Offline maps, backups, dead zones, and a key warning: default GPS routing can claim you’ve arrived while leaving you stuck on the wrong side of a river or ravine. For remote checkpoints, you may need to build your own track instead of trusting turn-by-turn directions. We round it out with safety planning like Garmin inReach satellite communication, layering for heat and potential high-altitude cold, and setting realistic goals whether you just want to finish or you want to chase awards. If you got value from this, subscribe, share the episode with a riding buddy, and leave a review so more riders can find it.

    Isle Of Man 🇮🇲 TT with Author and Legend, Stuart Barker 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

    Send us Fan MailThe Isle of Man TT isn’t compelling because it’s polished. It’s compelling because it’s real public roads, real consequences, and a level of commitment that most of us can’t even imagine. We ride out to meet legendary motorcycle journalist and author Stuart Barker, then let him pull back the curtain on what the TT actually is: a 37.75-mile mountain course with hundreds of corners, brutal hazards, and a culture that refuses to pretend the dark parts don’t exist.We talk about Barker’s career inside the racing world, why he believes honesty is a form of respect, and what he learned from interviewing riders and families who’ve lived through loss. Along the way, we break down road racing versus circuit racing, why the TT takes two weeks, how newcomers learn the course today, and why the event keeps drawing riders back even when prize money is modest and the risks are obvious.Then we swing back to our own chaos: Europe route scouting for the 2027 ADV Cannonball Rally, rally app improvements, and the kind of practical navigation advice that saves your day when you’re cold, wet, and staring at a glitchy GPX track. We also give a clear warning about extreme checkpoints: they’re optional, they’re serious, and “self rescue” isn’t a slogan.If you like motorcycle racing, adventure riding, and stories that don’t flinch, hit play.

    ROUNDTABLE - 🛰️ GPS Rally Navigation Systems

    Send us Fan MailGPX files sound boring until they’re the reason you miss a checkpoint, get rerouted onto a worse road, or spend your night untangling tracks on a tiny screen. We sit down with Rick Claus to talk navigation for the ADV Cannonball Rally, and we keep it practical: what to buy, what to avoid, and what to practise before you roll up to the start line.We compare three real-world approaches to adventure motorcycle navigation. First, dedicated GPS hardware like the Garmin Zumo XT3 and Garmin Tread, where ruggedness and GPX handling are strong, but the software ecosystem can feel dated. Second, modern CarPlay and Android Auto head units like Chigee, which give you a bright screen and app flexibility while your phone stays safe in your pocket. Third, phone-only navigation apps, where the price is right but the single point of failure is hard to ignore on a multi-day rally.We also get into the details that actually matter on the road: why you should turn off auto reroute on Garmin, why offline maps and offline routing can save your day, and why we like a layered setup with OnX Offroad or OsmAnd for navigation, plus Waze and Google Maps for alerts and fast fuel searches. We talk tracking and strategy too, including how rally apps cache data, how leaderboards change decision-making, and why we keep a Garmin inReach on our body for safety if things go sideways.If you’re getting ready for the ADV Cannonball or any long-distance ADV ride, subscribe, share this with a riding buddy, and leave a review so more riders can find it.

    TMFF 🎬 Caius Tenche in Victoria 🇨🇦

    Send us Fan MailA 2008 Honda Goldwing dragging a custom 50-gallon fuel trailer just rewrote what “fast” looks like across a continent, and we cannot stop thinking about it. We unpack the new cannonball record, what made the attempt smart, and where the line sits between brilliant planning and outright chaos for long-distance motorcycle riding.From there, we get into the gritty stuff that actually changes outcomes in an ADV checkpoint rally. We talk tracker tactics, plus a public leaderboard update that now shows the age of each GPS fix so you can finally tell whether someone is truly close or just out of range. We also explain why we added optional extreme off-road checkpoints, how strategy works when you are not required to grab everything, and the safety basics we never want riders to skip: emergency water, tools, tyre repair, bivvy gear, and a satellite communicator.Then we shift gears into community and storytelling. We head to the Toronto Motorcycle Film Festival screening in Victoria and chat with the festival’s founder about why a motorcycle film festival can unite riders who never normally mix. In the lobby, we run into a real Dakar rally bike and hear Don Hatton's story of desert damage, exhaustion, and the kind of anger you only feel after you have had to walk away from a machine at 4 a.m. We close with ADV Cannonball Rally news, including the 2027 America’s Baja edition going live, 2026 rule updates like suspending park ferme before the final day, new signups, and a little biker music to send you back to the garage.If you ride, dream, or just want better stories on two wheels, subscribe, share this drop with a riding buddy, and leave a review.

    Mark Richardson Returns **Running On Empty** a Motorcycle Novel

    Send us Fan MailLet’s add Mark’s new novel to the Motorcycle Book Club and discuss this new work of American biker fiction. We're off to India and Tokyo this week! Running On Empty takes readers on a gripping, fictionalized motorcycle journey through a vividly real America. As the main characters flee both an organized crime syndicate and the police, they ride through many of the country’s most iconic motorcycling destinations. The level of detail in the narrative suggests the author has ridden every mile himself—and perhaps even spent some time on the run. The story resonates with the universal fear of how a few bad choices—our own or those of people close to us—can spiral out of control. At its heart, the book delivers a raw, unflinching exploration of religious cults in America, shining a light on the dark secrets hidden in its quietest corners. For any motorcyclist craving a high-octane escape, this novel offers the perfect ride—one filled with danger, freedom, and the kind of adventure that feels just one decision away.-Aaron Pufal Support the showFree Music from the show on SPOTIFY and on APPLEAaron's Ride Outs Map HERESupport us directly on Venmo: https://venmo.com/u/Aaron-PufalSupport us on Patreon HEREBuy us a Coffee HEREThe Motorcycle Book and Film Clubs.The Living List Document GOOGLE DOCContact the Podcast [email protected] Cannonball Rally HomeGPS Checkpoint Rally & Event App HomeADV Cannonball Rally on Facebook Instagram TikTokMailing Address ...
