My name is Brian Ricks. I'm a retired police officer.

So we're mainly homicide and crime investigation. After 36 years, I now ride my motorbikes as long and as often as I can.

And I'm Shirley Hardie Wicks, Brian's wife. I don't ride, I'm opinion and I'm very happy on the back of the motorcycle. Oh, You're listening to Adventure Rider Radio.

Welcome to another episode of Adventure Rider Radio. My name's Jim Martin.

Well, we're going to deal with travel addiction today.

We're going to talk with Brian Ricks and Shirley Hardy Ricks, who are most certainly addicted

We got a good one for you.

Stay with us. Today we're talking with Brian Ricks and Shirley Hardy Ricks, who are both from the

they're still doing it. Two up. Today I've caught them at their home in Melbourne Australia.

Welcome to Adventure Rider Radio.

That's appreciated.

Well, let's start off by talking about your travels.

You gave some indication there, Brian, of what you're into.

motorcycle and I applaud you for that. Give us an overview of your travels. Okay

well first of all I've been riding bikes since I was about, I was more the first one at 12

and I've written the Outback and all the country areas in Victoria.

And as I went through my career, I was through the ranks and became a homicide investigator,

homicide officer in charge.
