Zoe Wiggins (Saturday 22nd August)
Following Your Dreams
Zoe Wiggins is a motorcycle industry professional who has worked with major brands and in top-level racing, including MotoGP, WorldSBK, BSB and the Isle of Man TT. She didn’t grow up around bikes and had no connections in the industry, but built her career from the ground up. After taking time out to travel, a bowel cancer diagnosis became a turning point, leading her to focus fully on re-building a life around bikes.
Riding with a stoma, she now speaks openly about her experience to show that motorcycling and travel are still possible after major life changes. Zoe works across motorcycle PR, events and touring, managing international press launches, tours, communications and social media alongside her own riding projects.
Zoe shares her unconventional journey into motorcycling – discovering bikes with no background and quickly deciding she wanted to build a career in an industry she knew nothing about. From figuring it out from scratch to working in motorcycle PR, racing, events and touring, she gives an honest insight into what it really takes – putting yourself out there, learning as you go, and not waiting until you feel “ready”.
She also reflects on how a bowel cancer diagnosis became a turning point, and what it’s like riding with a stoma – focusing on confidence, adapting, and not letting life changes hold you back.
A story about following your dreams, believing anything is possible, and making it happen.
Maja and Lara (Saturday 22nd August)
Don’t Wait Until ‘One Day’
“Maja and Lara are two energetic adventurers turned storytellers. Their friendship began over a shared passion for motorcycling, as they both owned a Ducati Supersport and were connected through social media. Maja is a motorcycle tour guide across all terrains and continents. Lara is a Chartered Engineer and journalist for the Bike World TV Show.
Together, they’re inspiring others by showing how big adventures don’t need to wait until “one day” and how you can tackle challenges on your own terms, balancing grit and glamour on two wheels.
Maja and Lara agreed to complete an off-road motorbike adventure across Europe and ultimately traversed eight countries over 53 days, covering 4,000 miles from French farmland to the breathtaking Balkans. Rather than putting life on hold and waiting for a “someday” trip, they chose to plan and save, and hit the road. Over 8 weeks, they learned new off-road skills, embraced unexpected challenges, discovered the joy of living simply, and proved that adventure is accessible.
Maja wasn’t a camper and Lara had to learn how to be patient. With a mere 30kg of luggage each, they combined resourcefulness with passion.
They believe that adventure doesn’t have to mean quitting your job, selling everything, and disappearing for years on a round-the-world trip. With a little planning, some savings, and the right mindset, you can make memorable journeys now. As they call them, memories for the rocking chair.
In their talk, they unpack:
– How to transform a spark of an idea into a real plan.
– The budgeting, gear, and mindset that make it happen.
– The fun, the mishaps, and the unexpected lessons of simply saying “yes” and going. Their story shines a light on the fact that you don’t have to travel the world for years to find your adventure.”

Flat Track and Much More
“I’m an international Flat Track racer, currently competing in the DTRA Nationals & the ACU British Championships in the UK. I don’t only race flat track though, I also dabble in enduro, beach racing, motocross & recently trials too. I’ll be talking about my journey on 2 wheels including riding at Valentino Rossi’s Ranch, racing (and crashing) at Daytona & racing for Indian Motorcycle on the FTR 1200! This season I hope to podium in both of the national championships, and I’ve also got lots of other exciting things planned. If you’re interested in hearing more about my experiences & how to get into flat track, then come along to my talk to find out more!”
