We're the Mad Ones on Motorbikes

You know the deal. No set route, no backup, and definitely no guarantees. The Mongol Rally is chaos, and we're not just embracing it—we're riding straight into it on 125cc motorbikes. Because cars? Too easy. We want pain, poor decisions, and stories that'll leave scars (both physical and mental).

We're aiming to join the even smaller, slightly more unhinged rank of those who have dared to complete the rally on motorbikes. It's a badge of madness that few wear, and we're gunning for it with full throttle and zero common sense.

We're currently deep in prep mode—wrangling bikes that would rather be scrap metal, figuring out how not to end up as desert decorations, and filming every misstep for our upcoming YouTube series. Expect laughs, questionable decisions, and the kind of chaos only two idiots on tiny bikes can deliver.

But it's not all about self-inflicted suffering. We're riding for Yellow Wellies, supporting mental health in agriculture. Because if farmers can tackle the daily grind of feeding the nation, we can tackle a few thousand miles of mayhem.

We're not here to play it safe. We're here to ride, push limits, and probably wonder what the hell we were thinking—just to make a difference.

This is adventure. This is chaos. This is the Mongol Rally on motorbikes.

What could possibly go wrong?

Farm Safety Foundation - Yellow Wellies

We’re the Farm Safety Foundation, an award-winning charity and we’re dedicated to support the physical and mental wellbeing of the UK’s farmers. As a mutual insurer that has cared about the countryside, farmers and their families for over a century, NFU Mutual took the decision in 2014 to establish the Farm Safety Foundation, an independent charity to help young farmers challenge their behaviours and change their attitude to farm safety. The ultimate aim of the Foundation is to have zero avoidable deaths on our farms. To achieve this, the Foundation works closely with partners in the industry to engage, educate and communicate strong and relatable farm safety messages. Their award-winning education programme has delivered innovative farm safety training to over 21,000 young farmers in 44 different land-based colleges and universities across the UK and through the Young Farmers Clubs network. Through national campaigns such as Farm Safety Week and Mind Your Head, the Farm Safety Foundation is tackling the stigma around risk-taking and poor mental health, ensuring that that next generation of farmers is resilient and equipped with smart strategies and specific skills to live well and farm well.
