Phil Hodgens

The Motorbikin’ DVD series has just hit disc number 20. It seems such a short time ago we plonked down in front of the telly to watch the first instalment. We remember being very excited about that, because we’d known something of Motorbikin’ main man Phil Hodgens for quite some time. On the occasion of his 20th disc we thought it time we learned some more.

Phil Hodgens: dairy farmer, adventure rider and main man at Motorbikin’.

There’s not too many more colourful characters in the adventure-motorcycling world than Phil Hodgens. He’s a dairy farmer, a devoted rider, and the driving force behind the Hard-core Posties movement that’s raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for the Royal Flying Doctor Service. He’s also a handy rider and a bloke who’s happy to have a laugh at his own expense.
