The Boss

Started out riding dirt bike junkers on a farm in West Wales and progressed to starting the first dirt bike tour company in Cambodia. After nearly 20 years leading dirt bike and adventure bike tours in South-East Asia (Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam) has decided to spread his wings and embark on small group, top quality ‘bucket list rides’ – trips that are on or should be on every spirited motorcycle explorers to do list – like the Ride To Everest Base Camp or Route 66.

“I lead my tours from behind the handlebars of a motorcycle – not from behind a desk.”

“Nothing is overlooked by Zeman the owner of this tour company”
A. Lempel, USA

Mr Bonthim or ‘Tim,’ The Fixer, Cambodia

The man with the magic touch – he can make whole motorcycles disappear from one part of the country and magically reappear in a completely different province. Looks after all support vehicle needs as well as cooking a mean BBQ steak in the jungle. Usually to be found laughing.

“Fascinating Culture and Awesome Riding…..Bike Adventures don’t get any better than this”
Michael Guy, MotorCycleNews UK, Global Enduro Trip 1, 2009.

Mr Leng ‘The Superstar’

Top supercross rider, top guide, top guy. The Macgyver of the Dirt Bike Tour World, with more sharp surprises than a Leatherman pocket knife. No better man to get lost in the wilds of Cambodia with. Luckily. Just don’t ask him to find any waterfalls…

“Superbly organized”
L. Hayman, Dubai

 

Makara – ‘Mechanical Mastermind’

If he can’t fix it – it can’t be fixed. Fit as a butchers dog, he has to be to carry round 100kgs of tools and spare parts on his XR400.

Runs on pure red stripe Coca-Cola. About 2 cans per hour.
