Notier's Frontiers
Exploring the world 2Up on their KTM 1190 in search of hidden treasures.
Tim and Marisa Notier quit their jobs back in 2017 and have been on the road ever since. They spent 2 years traveling the Americas, from Chicago, IL to Ushuaia, and are now in their 3rd year of circumnavigating the world in Africa. Together, as a team, they bring individual talents to the adventure at hand. Tim's role is slightly less sophisticated as he is solely the pilot of their KTM 1190, while Marisa's contributions involve speaking the local languages of different countries. She is fluent in English, Spanish, and Arabic, and is studying French, Turkish as well as Russian. Her role as a pillion also consists of videography, navigation, and most importantly, keeping Tim in check when his ultra-ego stretches too far away from the reality of his skills. They have created a powerful unit of two that work together in order to traverse through the mud, sand, and gravel backroads of the world as they live out their dream of riding around the world 2Up. They are currently in Uganda awaiting the borders to reopen.

1/2 of the Wheelnerds Podcast
Nine-year motorcycle podcaster that enjoys viewing the industry from the outside in and making jokes about it.
With very little clue about what he's doing, Chuck Brewer is an enthusiastic rider, adequate-ish husband, embarrassing father, horrible first date, computer nerd, and non-vegetarian. Working professionally in the IT field, Chuck came to riding as a complete beginner in his mid-30s and was excited about motorcycles ever since. Combining his and Todd's constant humor for a podcast about their shared love of motorcycles was a natural next step. He really enjoys meeting and interviewing people in the motorcycle industry. His interview-style goal is to keep participants on their toes with questions they don't normally get asked in more formal like interviews. This lends itself to an irreverent yet relatable and enjoyable discussion that veers away from the traditional. Originally from San Diego, he grew up being told "motorcycles will kill you!" and now really regrets not taking advantage of terrorizing residents of Southern California as a rider. He hopes his humor and laid back style will sidestep nonriders' preconceptions and make motorcycling approachable.
