The National Motorcycle Marketing Manager for BMW Motorrad would have to be one of the most recognisable identities in the Australian adventure-riding fraternity. Never mind how Miles Davis’ riding skill compares to other motorcycling company managers. When it comes to handling big-horsepower, big-mass motorcycles, Melbourne-based Miles, 47, is world-class. Actually, he’s pretty handy on bikes of all kinds.

AdvR: What came first: motorcycles or mountain bikes?
MD: I was always obsessed by motorcycles.
From as far back as I can remember there’s pictures of me sitting on uncles’ or grandfathers’ motorbikes. There was always an obsession.
