    Project 47 - Ride Thru Japan 🇯🇵 Interview & ADV Cannonball Rally News

    Send us Fan Mail 🎙️ The boys crack open some craft IPAs 🍻 and dive into another wide-ranging episode of motorcycle-adjacent chaos. Aaron celebrates a fleeting #1 Amazon ranking for his book Chasing Legends, shares an update on his flooded apartment saga (spoiler: it got worse), and reveals his motorcycle has arrived safely in London, shipped for £1,500 all-in. Taylor's 16-year-old son takes second place at a Swedish battle of the bands, proving the Lawson legacy of "number two" runs deep. Featured Interview: Adam Lewis – Ride Through Japan The heart of this episode is a fantastic conversation with Adam Lewis, creator of the YouTube series Project 47. Born in Tennessee, raised in Australia, and a 26-year resident of Japan, Adam is solo moto-camping his way through all 47 Japanese prefectures, filming stunning rural roads, connecting with locals in fluent conversational Japanese, and telling Japan's story in a way even Japanese viewers are celebrating. He shares how his wife's cancer battle inspired a "life is now" philosophy, his upcoming six-month ride to finish the remaining 35 prefectures on a loaned Harley Pan America, and why the best of Japan is found on the forgotten mountain roads far from the tourist crowds. Also in this episode: Real estate disclosure horror stories (buyer beware!) Sound surveillance cameras in London Shipping tires as checked luggage experiments Aaron's Ride Out: Back of the Dragon New rally signups for 2026 Americas & 2027 Europe Next episode preview: Riding gear deep-dive + AndyMan Cam's accident debrief Adam Lewis is Ride Thru Japan Fundraiser Link for Project 47 https://ridethrujapan.com/support-the-ride/ Buy Adam a Coffee https://buymeacoffee.com/ridethrujapan YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@ridethrujapan Websites https://ridethrujapan.com/ www.bluepacificmedia.com Instagram @adamlfoto @ridethrujapan Support the show Free Music from the show on SPOTIFY and on APPLE Aaron's Ride Outs Map HERE Support us directly on Venmo: https://venmo.com/u/Aaron-Pufal Support us on Patreon HERE Buy us a Coffee HERE The Motorcycle Book and Film Clubs.

    Kerry Rides to the Arctic Ocean on a T7 - Tech Talk and ADV Cannonball News

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of the ADV Cannonball Podcast, the conversation kicks off with a wildly improbable real estate saga that ends in a perfectly timed disaster and a very lucky escape. From there, the talk flows naturally into motorcycles, gear, and the realities of adventure riding, including jackets, boots, helmets, navigation tech, and what actually works when conditions turn ugly. The episode builds toward a feature interview with Kerry Lebel, who rode all the way to the Arctic Ocean, sharing first-hand insight into fuel planning, weather extremes, camping in remote regions, wildlife encounters, and lessons learned the hard way. Equal parts storytelling, practical advice, and unapologetic rambling, this episode delivers the kind of experience-based wisdom and humor that defines life on two wheels.
