We’re Carl & Isabel - and we love motorbikes!

Our story…

Our love of motorbikes brought us together in 2014. Early tours were with a Yamaha MT09 Tracer and a Triumph Tiger 800. We both now ride Yamaha Ténéré 700s, or T7s, as they are affectionately known. These are the bikes we are riding around the world…

So far, we’ve travelled through…

… Wales, Scotland (where we got married, too!), Denmark and Sweden in 2016, Norway and Sweden in 2017, riding all the way up to Nordkapp, and we completed the whole of the Wild Atlantic Way in 2019. And more UK adventures than we can count!

It hasn’t all been smooth sailing

In 2018, Isabel was diagnosed with breast cancer - which meant putting all our adventure plans on hold. After treatment and a long period of recovery, Isabel was back on the bike in 2019 - and wrote a book about her cancer journey too.

And now, we’re ready for the big adventure!

2023 is the year we kicked off our world tour! We packed up the T7s and shipped them off to Alaska for the first leg of our round-the-world motorbike trip. Thank you for being part of this community and supporting our travels. Watch this space!

We did a walking tour of León. What a fascinating insight into Nicaragua’s history and politic situation. So, so interesting. Did you know that in 500 years of history Nicaragua has had just 60 years of peace with no fighting. Just i
We didn’t stay long in Honduras. Just a couple of days in order to post our drone to Costa Rica as Nicaragua don’t allow them. We really need to press on to South America. We stopped for two nights in León. Found this awesome
The Honduras border was a bad day for us. It started well. Calimoto took us on an interesting dirt road for the majority of it. Out into the beautiful countryside with fabulous views. We crossed many fords that were totally dried up. And then we
