Any time Charley Boorman is around you can bet Billy ‘Biketruck’ Ward isn’t far away. But Ward has a strong adventure pedigree of his own and is as friendly and happy a character as any rider could hope to meet in a country pub. Graeme Sedgwick has first-hand experience.

Billy Ward ended up Boorman’s manager and accompanied him on rides around the world.

I’d take bikes from the UK, Ireland and Scotland, put them in a truck and take them down to north Africa.

Customers would fly into Malaga and take the ferry across, pick up their bike and have their adventure,” said Billy Ward with his usual intense stare. “That’s how I got into the industry.”
