ABOUT THE EVENT
SASHA CATALANO and BEC COOEN are long-time motorcyclists, travellers, and adventure chasers. Having driven across Sri Lanka by tuk-tuk, and fresh from motorbiking Europe two-up in 2025, Sasha and Bec are always chasing the next challenge, by motorbike, tuk tuk, or anything with wheels!
Join Sasha and Bec - a.k.a. Pocket Rocket Adventures - for their fast-paced, funny, and honest overland travel tales across Europe's mountain passes, ferry crossings, scorching summer heat, and the inevitable mechanical mishaps of motorcycle adventure riding. Riding two-up on one game Honda CB500X, they share the realities of first-time long-distance travel as a petite rider and pillion.
Expect equal parts adventure, resilience, and laughter. Over eight weeks and nearly 10,000 km, Sasha handled the riding while Bec navigated logistics and tracked down the best gelati. Together, they camped, tackled dirt roads and goat tracks, survived Naples traffic, and climbed Slovenia's highest mountain passes - 50 hairpins included!
Optimistic rookies learning as they went, with open minds and a penchant for the ridiculous, their adventure brought about many entertaining tales and ideas are already sparking for the next adventure.....
