Explore every episode of the podcast The Lightweight Adventurers Podcast

We have big plans for 2024. Very BIG. Everything from a slight variation of videos we put on the YouTube channel, to living abroad and travelling for half a year! But that all brings change and change brings FEAR. in this podcast we explore those changes and what they mean to us.

We caught up with Tom and Lauren just before they set out on their UK to south africa trip on their trusted CG125 bikes. Amazing!

We decided to take and evening and reflect on the 2023 lightweight adventurers festival. we look over a number of photos that were given to us and give you a behind the scenes take on what we were thinking, doing and feeling at that point. 

We caught up with Bruce Smart, AKA Teapot One. Much like us, Bruce dedicated much of his life to public service in the Metropolitan Police force. So how and why did he end up riding around the world on a GSX-R 600, and how did it change him afterwards? We asked Teapot 1 all of these questions and more!

We've got all nostalgic this episode. We reflect on how previous adventurers, especially those who have had a great deal of public success, appear to have taken the shine off of modern day adventurers like you and me. But we also ask the question if that is a fair take on things. we contradict ourselves a lot!  

We caught up with Saffy Sprocket to talk all things confidence when it comes to motorcycles. A new rider herself, Saffy took the bold decision to ride right around Europe raising money for he local air ambulance. Adventure motorcycling is brilliant for building confidence, and this is how Saffy used it to do just that! 

We took some time out to discuss if size really does matter in adventure motorcycling. Bit of an odd question you might think, for a pair of blokes that call themselves the lightweight adventurers, but is a really complex topic (as we found out). So, does a bike have to be middleweight, heavyweight or lightweight to be the best adventure bike? 

We've kicked off Season 2 with guests! In this episode, we speak with Jade Rides (look her up on Instagram). Having suffered with mental health problems for a long while, Jade found adventure motorcycles got her back in the mix. 

We speak with Jade about how she battled through to get on a bike in the first place, how she sees adventure now and what the future holds

In this, the final episode of season one, we take you over the evolution of the Lightweight Adventurers. We've had a few failures along the way, but we've learned a lot in the process, so here, we share those lessons with you...

In this episode, we examine how we are able to stay positive when faced with challenges and failure when out adventuring on our motorcycles. We explore how to reframe a problem, think about it positively and then reflect on the issues post ride. 

Blimey, this is a bit heavy isn't it? Well, the mid-life crisis comes to most people in some manner, so what better way to help us all through it than talk about it on a podcast. Adventure plays a large part in helping with this time of life too, so its all good! 

It can't simply be just to see cool stuff, can it? We think theres much more to it. So, here, in our first ever  podcast, we explore (pun intended) mindset, attitudes and opinions around the subject of adventure motorcycling.
