  EP#85 - Bernie Dunn on Finke as an amputee!

  Oct 2, 20261h 19m

  Send us Fan Mail At just 16 years old, Bernie Dunn’s life changed completely when a motorcycle accident resulted in the amputation of his left leg above the knee. In this episode of the ADB Podcast , Bernie takes us back to the accident, the decision to amputate, the long road through recovery and, incredibly, how motorcycles eventually became a massive part of his life again. Bernie explains how he relearned to ride as an above-knee amputee, the modifications and techniques required to control a dirtbike, and how that journey ultimately led him into motorcycle coaching and back to competition. We also talk about his recent return to racing, conquering Finke in 2027 and what it means to be competitive again and just how far he wants to take his riding from here. It’s an incredible story about motorcycles, determination and refusing to give up something you love.

  EP#83 - Archie Conner signs with Kove and wins Safari!

  Sep 28, 202655 min

  Send us Fan Mail Archie Connor might be one of the most exciting young rally talents coming through Australia right now and revealed his latest singing with Kove! Fresh out of high school, working full-time on the family farm and with an unusual racing background that doesn’t include a single motocross gate drop, Archie has gone from racing his first Pony Express at 11 years old to winning the 2026 Sunraysia Safari. In this episode of the ADB Podcast , we find out how a young bloke from the banks of the Murray has become seriously fast with a roadbook in front of him. Archie talks about his unconventional path into racing, the influence of his family, how working on the farm has surprisingly helped his rally riding and the lessons he’s learnt from mountain biking and other sports along the way. We also break down his breakthrough 2026 season, what it took to win the Safari, the art of racing flat-out while navigating and, most importantly, where he wants to take his rally career from here.

  EP#82 - Punters take on AEC Season! Would you race the AEC?

  Sep 22, 20261h 15m

  Send us Fan Mail What happens when three everyday punters decide to take on the Australian Enduro Championship season? In this episode of the ADB Podcast , we sit down with three Vets riders who did exactly that — including one bloke who had never raced a motorcycle before. What started as a challenge quickly became one of the best experiences of their lives, travelling around the country, riding places they’d never normally see and lining up at some of Australia’s best enduro events. We talk about the reality of racing a full AEC season as normal working blokes — the travel, costs, preparation, fitness, crashes, laughs and just how bloody fast the front-running Vets actually are. More importantly, they explain why the championship became about far more than results, with the road trips, new mates and experiences along the way every bit as memorable as the racing itself. If you’ve ever thought you’re not fast enough or experienced enough to have a crack at AEC, this episode might change your mind.
