Billy Ward, also known as Billy Biketruck, is a well recognized name in adventure motorcycle travel, synonymous with Charley Boorman - he’s Boorman’s right hand man for many things, but behind the scenes, there is the little known story about where Billy came from, and how he got to be so important for Boorman, and so involved in the motorcycle industry. But, this story is not for the squeamish, it involves castrating a lamb, a divorce, a quick print business card machine-  all oiled down with a liberal application of Billy’s silver tongue and how all of that landed him at the Long Way Round headquarters and onward and upward.

As you are going to discover in this interview Billy Ward, AKA Billy BikeTruck, is a really interesting guy living life on the edge and on his terms. He is bold, daring, charismatic, and adventurous, He is a show promoter, manages talent, rides all over the world, he has wrestled crocodiles, chased off lions for his clients, survived interrogations at border crossings, lead motorcycle trips. But, his real talent is the ability to step into the unknown, figure it out, master it, and come out on top - even when he has no experience going in.
