TRAVEL weeks were spent riding XR600s along the Baja Strip . To say it was amazing is an understatement . The scenery , sounds , smells , food , everything was unbelievable . It was like I was back on my BMX , riding to the next village , but not with my mates , this time I was with my Dad !
The whole experience had such an impact on me that it shaped my whole life . And now , today , 24 years later , at the ripe old age of 48 , I have been running my own motorcycle adventure holiday in Portugal , Intrepid Trails , for the past five years . Unfortunately , my Dad didn ’ t get to see this amazing chapter of my life , but I have him to thank for it .
Anyway , enough about my experiences ; let ’ s talk about yours ! Deciding to leave the wet British weather behind and venture overseas to ride offers many benefits . For example , a warmer climate , varied and exciting new scenery , and the opportunity to experience new cuisines , cultures , and languages .
There ’ s nothing better than getting a group of your mates together and heading off into the horizon on your motorbikes . It ’ s a sense of freedom , a sense of joy that can only be appreciated by someone who ' s done it .
At the end of the day , we are here to make great memories . So , start organising that trip , booking that ferry or flight , and start up those engines . It ’ s time to get our braaaaaaaaap on ! And remember , we are here for a good time , not a long time !!
