The Home of Adventure in North Devon and Beyond...
Welcome to Dorothy's Speed Shop, the home of adventure in North Devon and beyond. The Speed Shop is an extension of the tours I've been running since 2017. It includes tours on your own bike - UK and overseas - as well as an ever evolving fleet of machines for you to ride down here in North Devon. My aim is to encourage people to travel, and to find the way that best suits them. I'm a big believer that the aim of a guide is to build rider confidence, to take people out of their comfort zone and bring them back more confident, independent travellers. For 2025 I'll also be running a series of travel workshops here in Devon, as well as day rides on the fleet of A2 adventure bikes. Also look out for the weekend events and if you would like a one on one day or group day please just get in touch using the contact box at the bottom of the page. Hope to see you out there.

WHY 'DOROTHY?
'Dorothy's' is named after the bike I rode from Sydney to London back in 2009 and then across America to Alaska in 2012. I worked as a motorcycle journalist after that, before in 2017 beginning to run a series of tours called 'Garbage Runs', as they began by being aimed at small cheap bikes.
Tours of the UK, Europe, America and Australia followed, until 2020 when Covid struck and the need to stay closer to home gave birth to 'Dorothy's Speed Shop', a place in North Devon where the adventures could be based. A fleet of iconic Aussie post bikes (same as Dorothy) are at the heart of the experiences, alongside tours for people on their own bikes.
Look forward to seeing you on the road.
