2025 - Miles, moments & momentum

As the year winds down, it feels like the right time to pause, look back, and appreciate just how much ground we’ve covered — both on the road and off it. 2025 has been a year of big trips, muddy boots, unexpected highlights, and real momentum building behind what we’re creating.

From Australia to EICMA 🇮🇹

One of the standout moments of the year was our trip to Italy. Spending two full days at EICMA reminded us just how global and diverse the motorcycle world really is. From cutting-edge tech to beautifully impractical concepts, EICMA delivered inspiration at every turn — and more than a few “one day…” conversations.

This year the feature at EICMA was a highlight - the Desert Queens exhibit looking back on 40 years of Dakar history. Amazing memorabilia, details of the changes in location from the original race plus the bike & technology shifts in that time was a real insight into the event..

Before the chaos of the expo halls, we carved out a day to experience Italy properly — riding a Vespa through the mountains near Stresa, soaking up the atmosphere, dodging traffic like locals, and smiling the whole time. It was slower, lighter, and completely different to our usual rides… and we loved it.

Back Home: Manjimup, Tall Timbers & Community

December brought us back to familiar dirt, with two weekends in Manjimup supporting the trail bike hub and getting involved in the Cherry Harmony Festival. These weekends reminded us why riding communities matter so much — good people, shared passion, and bikes plus gear covered in red dirt.

Riding during the festival weekend was a highlight — not just for the tracks, but for the atmosphere. Events like this show how riding and regional communities can work together, and we’re proud to support that wherever we can.

To finish the riding year, we ventured out on Christmas Eve & took a tour of the local Christmas lights on Dunstan Street - hot, a lot of traffic & people - the perfect way to get into the festive spirit.

YouTube Growth

This year also marked real growth on our YouTube channel. More subscribers (over 720), more comments, more conversations — and most importantly, more people coming along for the ride. Seeing viewers connect with the reality of two-up adventure riding, the rough days as well as the great ones, has been incredibly motivating.

It’s pushed us to lift our game, tell better stories, and keep the content honest — whether it’s rain-soaked highways, gravel passes, or the little moments that happen when you’re travelling together on a bike.

Looking Ahead to 2026

2026 is shaping up to be our biggest year yet.

We’re already planning:

• Bigger rides

• New Australian destinations

• More two-up adventure content

• More storytelling across YouTube and the website

• Continued support for riding communities and events

  
  

There’s a lot happening behind the scenes, and we’re excited to share more as plans lock in. If 2025 was about momentum, 2026 is about building something lasting.

To everyone who’s watched a video, left a comment, said hello at an event, or followed along quietly — thank you.

Here’s to more miles, more stories, and a big year ahead.

See you on the road, Regan & Leigh
