ROMANCE AND ADVENTURE What did you do for your honeymoon? Malaysian couple Alfi and Diana got married and quit their jobs to ride from their home, Selangor, to London (marking 60 years since the country’s independence from Britain). They set off in April and rode through Malaysia, Thailand, Nepal, India, Pakistan, Iran, Armenia, Georgia and Turkey on the way to Europe. They didn’t do this on an adventure bike, but a Honda PCX125 scooter.

HISTORY Ana Carrasco has made motorcycling history as the first woman to win an FIM World Championship race. The 20-year-old took the landmark victory at the Portimão round of the World Supersport 300 championship. “I think it will be a change of mentality and people will realise that a woman can fight for the championship,” she said.
