We talk about wild camping under the stars, crossing borders, embracing unfamiliar cultures, and the incredible friendships that can only be forged on the road. While many riders spend their lives dreaming about distant horizons, Damian has been out there living the dream, one mile at a time.

Episode 17 — “From Rock Bottom to the Road: Morrisons Enroute”

Featuring co-host Brannen and guests Tanya & Bret Morrison

In Episode 17, Bryan and Brannen sit down with Tanya and Bret Morrison of Morrisons Enroute—the Canadian couple whose crumbling marriage sparked one of the most extraordinary life resets you’ll ever hear. Instead of calling it quits, they sold everything they owned and spent the next decade backpacking across more than 60 countries, rebuilding their relationship one border crossing at a time.

Now, they’ve taken on their wildest chapter yet: riding motorcycles from Alaska to South America with zero prior riding experience. We dig into what inspired that leap, how they prepared (or didn’t), and what it really means to carry your entire life—and your entire camera setup—on two bikes for months on end.

From daily logistics to long-term dreams, from raw honesty about partnership to the rush of experiencing the world at 40mph, this episode is a look at what happens when you bet everything on adventure… and each other.

🎙️ Binge Moto – Episode 16: From the Pits to the Future

Summary:
Brannen is back from London with fresh stories straight from the British Superbike Championship—from rubbing elbows with racers in the pits to soaking in the culture at the legendary Bike Shed London. The guys break down what makes the UK moto scene tick and how it compares to the American paddock vibe.

Then it’s across Europe to EICMA 2025 in Milan — the Esposizione Internazionale del Ciclo, Motociclo e Accessori, the biggest motorcycle show on the planet. Bryan and Brannen dig into all the major brand announcements, including:

• Honda’s rumored new sport-tourer aimed squarely at Yamaha’s Tracer.
• Triumph’s all-new Trident 800, packing an 798 cc triple that redefines the middleweight roadster class.
• A look at the growing 450 cc adventure and sport-tourer wave — from the BMW F 450 GS and CFMOTO Ibex 450 to the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 — and why this new generation of midsize bikes might be the sweet spot for everyday riders.

The discussion then shifts from machines to monsters as the guys dive into Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, its enduring legacy, and the new film adaptation on the horizon — exploring what it means to create something powerful, unpredictable, and maybe a little monstrous (kinda like tuning your own bike).

Finally, Bryan drops a Predator: Badlands review — breaking down how the latest Yautja flick delivers sci-fi mayhem and what riders can learn from a hunter who’s always adapting to survive.

Topics: racing culture, ADV trends, EICMA 2025, middleweight revolution, Triumph updates, motorcycle community, pop-culture parallels.

In this episode, Bryan sits down with Damieon Hulett, founder of the Tampa Bay Motorcycle Riders, to talk about the fast-growing moto community he’s built from the ground up.

It’s designed to be a community hub where riders can hang out, customize, and connect.

This one’s all about the future of moto culture, leadership, and building something lasting on two wheels.

We kick things off with our ride through the legendary Twisted Sisters—arguably one of the best motorcycle routes in the country—breaking down the endless curves, wide-open stretches, and why it hits different compared to other iconic rides. From there, we roll into a stop at Luckenbach, Texas, soaking in the history, the vibe, and everything that makes it a must-visit for riders.

Along the way, we made a stop at Vista Brewing to catch an incredible live performance from Sam Pace—one of those perfect moments where great music, great weather, and two wheels all come together.

Joined by Robert “Swampy” Frey and five seasoned dual sport riders, we dive into the 30-year legacy of Devil’s Creek — how it started, how it’s evolved, and why it still draws riders back year after year. From grassroots beginnings to one of the Southeast’s most beloved dual sport events, we break down what makes this weekend more than just a ride.

Binge Moto Podcast – Episode 20: “Yalla Habibi” w/ Jon Ross (2 Wheel ADV)

This week on Binge Moto, we’re joined by Jon Ross from 2 Wheel ADV to break down “Yalla Habibi”—the new documentary from Ryan (FortNine) where he and two friends attempt to shatter the world circumnavigation record aboard Ducati Multistradas.

We get into the big question: do we actually think they pulled it off? From the pace, logistics, and fatigue factor to the reality of borders, breakdowns, and time lost in the chaos—nothing is off limits. We also share what we really thought of the film, what it gets right (and what it glosses over), and why endurance riding is equal parts obsession, discipline, and insanity.

From there, the conversation turns to the bigger debate: is chasing a record like this worth the risk? We talk mental strain, physical punishment, the danger of pushing too far, and what separates a legendary ride from a bad decision.

And because it’s Ducati… we wrap up with a brutally honest chat about maintenance costs, the realities of international motorcycle travel, and the unexpected struggle no one warns you about—finding a bathroom in Europe when you need one RIGHT NOW.

Episode 19 – Community, Creativity, and Looking Back (with Brannen “Itchy Butt” Butts)

In Episode 19 of Binge Moto, Bryan is joined once again by longtime friend and co-host Brannen “Itchy Butt” Butts for a wide-ranging conversation that blends motorcycles, movies, and reflection. The episode kicks off with a deep dive into the BMW Airheads community—a culture built around simplicity, mechanical self-reliance, shared knowledge, and camaraderie that continues to welcome new generations of riders.

From there, the conversation shifts into a reflective recap of 2025 so far and a look back at Binge Moto’s first seven months, touching on the show’s growth, evolving identity, standout moments, and what’s ahead as the brand continues to expand.

Episode 18 — Jennifer “Sundance” Ringelsbaugh: Hunter S. Thompson, Gonzo Roots & the Hell’s Angels Myth

In Episode 18, Bryan sits down with friend of the show Jennifer “Sundance” Ringelsbaugh for a deep dive into Hell’s Angels: A Strange and Terrible Saga and the wild world of Hunter S. Thompson. Together they unpack the life of the man who essentially invented Gonzo Journalism—a chaotic blend of reporting, immersion, and personal narrative that changed nonfiction forever.

Sundance and Bryan explore Hunter’s year embedded with the Angels, how he earned their trust, and how riding with them turned into one of the most unfiltered portraits of outlaw motorcycle culture ever written. They break down the media-driven panic of the 1960s, the headlines that built the Hell’s Angels legend, and how Thompson exposed the gap between who the club actually was and the monstrous mythology America projected onto them.

From culture-shifting influence to raw, uncomfortable truth, the episode digs into the Angels' real lifestyle vs. the mythos, the contradictions that defined the era, and how Hunter’s relationship with the club ultimately spiraled into violence, betrayal, and one of the most infamous endings in literary journalism.

If you love Hunter S. Thompson, biker history, media hysteria, or the murky place where journalism meets chaos, this is one of our most in-the-weeds deep-dives yet.
