In this nineteenth episode we talk about motorcycles the way we like them: no filters, no posing and no bar-room chatter… or maybe a little.

Our guest is Tiziana Rena, a lifelong rider, tireless traveller and president of the BMW Motorrad Club Catania. From a passion born as a child, with bicycles, scooters and the big Vespa “borrowed” from her dad’s garage, to long motorcycle journeys across Europe and beyond.

In this episode

  • Women riders and prejudice.
  • Epic trips: 11,000 km to Russia through 10 countries.
  • Accidents, fears and the wish to get back in the saddle.
  • What travelling by motorcycle really means.
  • Tunisia, Morocco and genuine hospitality.
  • Tips for women who want to start riding.

A real conversation, bar-room style but with the helmet on, where you find out that those who ask “can you even hold it up?” are often the ones left behind in the bends.
