About The Author
Nick Arley
Nick Arley began his motorcycling journey at age eleven, and the open spaces of rural New South Wales fuelled what became a lifelong obsession. From competing in local offroad motorcycle events to riding across the Arctic Circle in Alaska, motorcycles have taken Nick far and wide. While living in Indonesia with his wife, Nick regularly tested their Honda scooter to its limits exploring the offroad trails in Bali. Returning home to Canberra, the desert began calling, leading to his greatest challenge: the fastest crossing of all ten Australian deserts unsupported on a motorcycle.
