Hi, I'm Kodi, and welcome to MotoHikes.
MotoHikes is where adventure motorcycling meets the natural world.
I ride back roads, green lanes and remote trails in search of Britain's hidden landscapes, wild camps, forgotten history and incredible geology. Every ride is about exploring somewhere new and discovering the stories behind the places I visit.
As an Environmental Science student, I love sharing the ecology, wildlife and geology that make these landscapes so special, because understanding nature makes every adventure even more rewarding.
Today I'm exploring the UK, but the goal is much bigger: riding the Trans Euro Trail, crossing Europe, and one day tackling overland adventures around the world.
If you love adventure bikes, camping, exploration and the outdoors, you're in the right place.

Thanks once again for the response to the recent videos. I'm so happy they have resonated with some of you.
As you may have noticed, this is just a small one man channel. I have no upload schedule, and basically just get videos out as often as I can. Sometimes it's every couple of days, sometimes it's a couple of weeks, but rest assured that there will be new videos arriving just as fast as I can make them without sacrificing quality.
I have a job and I am also a university student, so time can be precious and my first priority will always be university work.
Nothing much more to say, just wanted to get this little note out there :)

Day 3, the final day of my "No Plan. Just North." series will be released tomorrow (15th Oct) at 4pm BST. In it, we leave our campsite in the Yorkshire Moors and ride down the east coast, talk a little geology, and even experience a rare meteorological phenomenon. I really hope you enjoy!

The Iceland video is unfortunately taking a lot longer than expected. This is due to the size of the insta360 files being so large, and has introduced storage difficulties while working on the video. The solution to this is simply getting more storage, which I hope to be possible next month.
Sorry for the delay, but I hope it will be worth the wait!

Out filming a bushcraft day today! Learning how to make nettle cordage, so far. Just seeing where the day takes me!
Don’t worry, Iceland video is in the works!

I hope you've all enjoyed the recent surge in uploads! It's going to slow down a bit again for now as I prepare (and save money for) my Iceland trip in 2 weeks. Will try and get some stuff out, but it won't be every 2-3 days like it has been for the past month or so.

Just been out to film a 1000 mile (actually 1,400) review of the Suzuki V-Strom 800DE. I'm by no means a moto-journalist, nor a professional rider (hell, I only started riding 5 years ago!), but after spending some time in the saddle, I feel I have a good perspective and opinion as a regular joe rider; competent on the road, novice off of it. Video will be out in the next couple of days.

New boots fitted to Luca! Showing Rich (friend of the channel) some of the local lanes. Shame the bike he just bought kept overheating on one of them 😂 No footage as I've ran out of SD card space and was moving stuff over to a USB stick, but a great recce for when I do the 50 mile loop I've put together.

Today, me and my friend John are hitting some green lanes on my Suzuki V-Strom 800DE and his Kawasaki KMX 125. We're just north of Melton Mowbray, and it's my first proper day off-road. I'm still on road tyres, but I don't let that stop me! We tackle potholed dirt roads, battle through undergrowth and tango with a swampy pass. In comparison to my usual video's, this is quite quiet on the commentary front - full concentration along with letting the ride speak for itself.
Nothing beats the peace and serenity you find off road In the middle of nowhere, no one else around, it really does give you that sense of adventure that so many of us are looking for. This will be the first of I hope many, more wild-style adventures.

The sun is shining, and the vibes are spectacular (until a near miss towards the end of the ride!). Come join me as I take my bike to the Norfolk coast!
