ADV Rider contributors

John Hudson

John thought adventure riders would love an event offering some of the thrill and challenge of The Dakar at a miniscule price, so in 2010 the real estate manager kicked off the APC Rally

Karen Ramsay

Karen’s in that growing group of females either returning to riding or taking it up. She’s worked in the Northern Territory as a governess/jillaroo, supervising kids and mustering on ’bikes, and bought her first bike from an undertaker

Mick Jorgensen

Mick Jorgensen, 49, is a project manager living in Central Queensland. Mick became interested in adventure riding after dreaming of riding from Australia to his native Denmark. His daily ride is an R1200R, and his KLR 650 is in transit to Indochina where his next adventure will begin in May 2014.

Ewen MacGregor

Ewen’s first adventure ride was to Morocco over the Atlas Mountains via the Picos in Spain in 2010. He’s a passionate advocate of adventure riding and part-time actor, and was the lead organiser of the Horizons Unlimited Perth meeting in October 2013.

Miles Davis

Miles has been National Motorrad Marketing Manager for BMW Motorrad since 2006. He’s a highly qualified motorcycling coach and an ex-professional mountain-bike racer. Miles is still on a bike every chance he gets, and has built an enviable reputation as both a world-class rider and a great riding companion.

Nick Dole

Nick is an owner and director of Teknik Motorsport in Penrith, NSW. He runs a workshop specialising in a wide range of motorcycle suspension work, mechanical repairs and wholesale parts. Nick’s racing career peaked in 1994 with a third in the NSW Pony Express series. He now offers a premium engine and suspension service.

Craig Tarlington

Craig has been riding motorcycles since he was five, and he’s raced in Australia, South Africa, South America and Europe. In recent years became obsessed with motorcycle rally racing, competing in several World Championship events, with the best finish a third in the Open Production Class at the 2010 Sardinia Cross Country Rally

Robin Box

A lifelong rider, Robin now rides “whenever there’s a chance” on any bike available, on- or off-road. Between churning out Safari Tanks and importing high-quality Touratech gear, there’s not as much riding going on for this Victorian-based bloke as he’d like.

Craig Hartley

Craig has been riding for 40 years and has competed in enduros in Australia, New Zealand and New Caledonia. The purchase of Dalby Moto in 1984 was to feed his dirt-bike habit. Adventure riding came on the scene in 1995 and he’s ridden three Safaris and manages the largest trail-ride series in the world. In his spare time Craig still rides trail, adventure and road.

Doug James

Douglas James lives on the south coast of NSW but loves riding the desert country, stemming from his time in Alice Springs and the far north-west of WA. A self-confessed adventure-ride planner, Doug loves a trip to the Condo 750 or Hattah Desert Race – not to compete. He loves the ride to get there.

Colin Dawson

Colin thought an adventure might be fun after buying a BMW F650 in 2005. Day trips on Blue Mountains fire trails grew into a solo ride from Borneo to Bali in 2010. His life now revolves around planning the next big trip, with Sydney to London coming “one of these days”.
