What You See When Riding A Motorcycle Through A War Zone
About this episode
Neale Bayly shares his experiences riding a motorcycle through war-torn Ukraine and the unexpected realities he encountered.
Most of us ride to get away from it all. Rare is it that a motorcycle is used to get straight into the middle of a mess. But that’s exactly what journalist, photographer and philanthropist Neale Bayly did. With a GS on loan from BMW in Munich, Neale rode straight to a Ukraine on the verge of war. And he’s been back multiple times in the years since. What does one find in a war zone? How do you navigate the day-to-day? It’s not what you might think. We wouldn’t have thought that soldiers, staying is a house abandoned by a family fleeing for its life, would insist on removing combat boots before walking on the carpet. This and much more with Neale Bayly. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
