The Trail and Adventure Motorbike Podcast is created by Clive Barber and Noel Thom. They are not inspirational, and they will not provide motivation to get you off your butt and travel the world. They are quite a good laugh though, like a couple of old blokes you overhear in the pub, and wish you were sat at their table. Except you don’t need to because they record their conversations. Weird. Yeah... more

  • Easy listening

    I’m a relative newcomer to the podcast, I already like the ethos and relaxed atmosphere, these are guts just like you and me, doing their thing and it’s refreshing. All_Torque_and_no_Traction (Instagram) … not actually a BBW 😁

  • A great listen

    I’ve been listening to the TAMP for nearly four years and it’s kept me going through thick and thin. The sprockets and bo11ock$ (sorry Steph) between Clive and Noel is excellent and the guest list is impressive, as are the topics. Two old farts chuntering on about motorcycles is like a pub night out with mates. Keep it up lads 👏

  • Proper Good Podcast

    I love this podcast. Noel and Clive are naturals at having bike based bants and being really informative. They have great guests on and as a woman I find that for two blokes they are really mindful of the differences that women might experience, or at least try to learn about them and accommodate them. I love their voices too. I’m super pleased I found this podcast and can have a fix on nights when I can’t ride my motorbikes. Well done Guys. Keep on being awesome 😎

Northover explains he uses multiple bikes but often leans on the 1150 GSA for long trips and multiple trails, emphasizing practicality and capability for mixed terrain.
TAMP Season 8 Episode 5 Guy Markham
Q: How did you start your journey on Instagram and what kept you going?
I started by posting funny, not-polished clips and gradually built a following by consistently sharing motorbike content, leaning into what made people laugh, and showing the learning curve rather than pretending to be perfect.
TAMP Rewind Season 7 Episode 9 Chloe Jones On the Loose
Q: When did you realize you were expecting it to be easier than it actually was?
It was a big shock because I didn't expect the kindness of strangers or the challenges I faced.
