| Motorcycle Falls - When Things go Sideways | 02 Oct 2026 | 01:14:46 | |
Send us Voice & Text Questions! After nine years of traveling the world together on a motorcycle, we've had our fair share of incredible adventures. We've ridden some spectacular roads, explored remote destinations, and experienced things we never could have imagined when we first set off. But traveling by motorcycle also means accepting that, sooner or later, things are going to go sideways. Sometimes quite literally. From sandy roads in Africa to slippery mountain crossings in South America, we've had a few moments we'd rather not repeat. Some falls were embarrassing, others left us injured, and a couple could have ended much worse. Here are some of the most memorable motorcycle mishaps we've experienced along the way.

Send us Voice & Text Questions! Big bikes or small bikes? After nearly a decade of riding around the world, we’ve ridden everything from a 1,900cc Yamaha Raider to tiny 220cc and 250cc bikes, and plenty in between.

| How Much Money Do You REALLY Need to Travel the World by Motorcycle? | 09 Sep 2026 | 00:47:12 | |
Send us Voice & Text Questions! In this episode, we break down the real story behind how we saved, sacrificed, budgeted, and found ways to keep our dream of long-term travel alive. From figuring out how much we needed to save for our original 3-year plan, to working regular jobs between adventures and eventually building income through YouTube, books, Patreon, and motorcycle tours, we share how we turned that original 3-year plan into 9 years on the road. More importantly, we talk about how you can apply the same mindset to your own travel dreams, whether that means riding around the world or simply taking that trip you've always dreamed about. There was no trust fund. Just planning, sacrifice, flexibility, and a willingness to build the dream one piece at a time. 🏍️ Join us on Patreon for as little as $5/month to unlock ad-free YouTube episodes, early access to our podcast, receive postcards from our travels around the world, and help keep us rolling down the road! 🏍️ 🏍️ 🦧 🐉 Join one of our Tours across Borneo and Thailand to create your own Adventure of a Lifetime at 2Up and Overloaded Motorcycle Tours 🎧 Looking for the best BlueTooth motorcycle intercoms available?

| Traveling by Motorcycle: How We Survived Each Other After 9+ Years on the Road | 02 Sep 2026 | 01:02:42 | |
Send us Voice & Text Questions! After 9+ years of traveling the world together on a motorcycle, we've learned that the hardest part of the journey isn't always the roads, the traffic, or finding a decent hotel. Sometimes, it's each other. When you're spending 20+ hours a day together with almost no personal space, little annoyances can turn into big arguments. Food, hotels, riding styles, directions, fatigue, and completely different ideas of adventure have all tested us over the years. In this episode, we share five things we've learned about arguing, compromising, communicating, and staying on the same team when traveling together. Because the road has a way of magnifying everything, both the incredible moments and the difficult ones. We still argue. We still get tired, hungry, and frustrated. But we've learned that most of the time, the problem isn't each other. It's learning how to face the problem together.

Send us Voice & Text Questions! Welcome to the very first episode of the 2Up and Overloaded Podcast.
In this episode, Tim and Marisa share the full origin story behind their life of long term motorcycle travel. From meeting as teenagers in Chicago, to reconnecting years later after a decade apart, to eventually quitting their jobs and riding around the world together. This episode dives into how two very different passions came together. Marisa's love of international travel and Tim's growing obsession with motorcycles. The result became a life that has now spanned 8+ years on the road, multiple continents, and dozens of countries. You will hear the story of their first real motorcycle adventure, the trip that changed everything, and the moment that turned a dream into a commitment.
